[Verse 1]
Salt in my teeth
Rope burn on my hands
Straw hat pulled low
Over sun-cracked lands
Map ink bleeds
Into busted seams
Ship creaks
Laughs
At my broken dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Every wave
Spells my name like a warning
Every grave
Marks a fool that came before me
[Chorus]
Sailing the seven seas for that one piece
Chasing a promise that cuts like steel
Treasure
Death and misery
All waiting out there for me
If it takes my blood and bone
So be it
I was born to break this endless reef
Sailing the seven seas for that one piece
(you won’t take my belief)
[Verse 2]
Gold teeth grin
In a traitor’s smile
Old ghosts sing
From a coral pile
Cannon smoke draws
Haloes round the mast
Every friend I lose
Becomes my past
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Is a map burned in my shoulder
Every star
Looks a little bit colder
[Chorus]
Sailing the seven seas for that one piece
Chasing a promise that cuts like steel
Treasure
Death and misery
All waiting out there for me
If it takes my blood and bone
So be it
I was born to break this endless reef
Sailing the seven seas for that one piece
(you won’t take my belief)
[Bridge]
If I drown here
Let it be in fire
Let the tide hear
Every last desire
Carve my name
In the teeth of the storm
I’ll be gone
But the legend sails on (hey!)
[Chorus]
Sailing the seven seas for that one piece
Chasing a promise that cuts like steel
Treasure
Death and misery
All waiting out there for me
If it takes my blood and bone
So be it
I was born to break this endless reef
Sailing the seven seas for that one piece
I’ll die before I ever lose
My belief
