Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I signed the black book with a heart made of stone, And left my poor mother to weep all alone. I didn’t join up for the silver or tea, But to find the man who killed my brother at sea. (Chorus) Oh, haul away hard for the ghost of my kin, The waves are the penance for every man's sin! I’ll track him through fire and the salt and the gale, Till the man who killed my brother is broken and pale! (Verse 2) He’s the mate on the Viper, a dog with a scar, I’ve followed his wake from the reef to the bar. He thinks I’m a rogue just like all of the rest, But I’ve a cold piece of iron aimed straight for his chest. (Chorus) Oh, haul away hard for the ghost of my kin, The waves are the penance for every man's sin! I’ll track him through fire and the salt and the gale, Till the man who killed my brother is broken and pale! (Verse 3) When the grappling hooks fly and the cannons do roar, I’ll find him alone in the blood on the floor. I’ll whisper the name that he took in the night, And the last thing he’ll see is my steel in the light. (Chorus) Oh, haul away hard for the ghost of my kin, The waves are the penance for every man's sin! I’ll track him through fire and the salt and the gale, Till the man who killed my brother is broken and pale! (Outro) One soul for the water, one soul for the sand, With the blood of the traitor all over my hand. The debt is now settled, the hunting is through, I’ve paid back the devil the life that was due.
