Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We left with rope and scars
Salt cut through our hands
Black gulls circled low
Over dead-men's lands
Gold in a splintered map
Ink-stained, torn, and old
We swore by the mast
We'd come back rich in gold
[Pre-Chorus]
Thunder split the mast
Night bit through the foam
Then the deep below
Started calling us home
[Chorus]
Hoist it high, hoist it high
We sail through the black sky
Kraken rise, kraken rise
But we don't run and hide
Hoist it high, hoist it high
We take what the waves deny
Storm-born crew, iron true
We win beneath the sky (beneath the sky)
[Verse 2]
A ghost ship crossed our bow
Lanterns burned like eyes
Its deck was full of bones
And hollow lullabies
Then from the frozen deep
A thousand arms came fast
Wrapped around our cannons
Crushed the splinters back
[Pre-Chorus]
Thunder split the mast
Night bit through the foam
Then the deep below
Started calling us home
[Chorus]
Hoist it high, hoist it high
We sail through the black sky
Kraken rise, kraken rise
But we don't run and hide
Hoist it high, hoist it high
We take what the waves deny
Storm-born crew, iron true
We win beneath the sky (beneath the sky)
[Bridge]
Buried under ash and brine
We found the chest alive
Not for kings or crowns
Just to keep the flame alive
One last cannon song
One last blade in hand
We bled into the storm
And still we took the land
[Final Chorus]
Hoist it high, hoist it high
We sail through the black sky
Kraken rise, kraken rise
But we don't run and hide
Hoist it high, hoist it high
We take what the waves deny
Storm-born crew, iron true
We win beneath the sky (beneath the sky)
