[Intro]
Raise the black flag, wake the guns
The tide is turning, here it comes
[Verse 1]
Salt on the rope and iron in hand
We cut through thunder toward the promised land
The compass spins but the crew knows why
There’s a red dawn waiting beyond the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
No crown can chain us, no storm can bend
We sail together to the bitter end
[Chorus]
Heave-ho, brothers, let the cannons roar
Ride the wild tide straight through the war
Black flag flying, hearts made of steel
Take what the ocean refuses to yield
Heave-ho, sisters, answer the call
We rise from the deep and we never fall
[Verse 2]
Gold in the hold and a blade at the mast
We leave every traitor behind in the past
The admiral’s fleet is a line of flame
But the sea remembers our battle name
[Pre-Chorus]
No chain can hold us, no grave can claim
We carve our legend into salt and flame
[Chorus]
Heave-ho, brothers, let the cannons roar
Ride the wild tide straight through the war
Black flag flying, hearts made of steel
Take what the ocean refuses to yield
Heave-ho, sisters, answer the call
We rise from the deep and we never fall
[Breakdown]
All hands!
Aye, aye!
Stand fast!
Aye, aye!
Cut the line, turn the wheel
Make the enemy taste our steel
[Bridge]
When the morning finds the shattered sea
There’ll be no master over you and me
From drowned-out bells to the highest mast
We drink to the future and bury the past
[Final Chorus]
Heave-ho, brothers, let the cannons roar
Ride the wild tide straight through the war
Black flag flying, hearts made of steel
Take what the ocean refuses to yield
Heave-ho, sisters, answer the call
We rise from the deep and we never fall
Raise the black flag over every wall
The sea is ours, and we conquer all
[Outro]
Raise the black flag, wake the guns
The tide is turning—here it comes
