[Verse 1]
Vikings on the prow, wolf fur in the spray
Iron on my belt, I was born in the gray
I took your little deck, made the boards my drum
Now your captain lookin' scared when the longships come
You got rum in your teeth and holes in your crew
We don't fear the deep, we were raised in it too
North wind in my lungs, axe cold as stone
If the sea got a king, then I sit that throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that chant roll in
Hear that black flag fold
When the waves get loud
We get mean, we get bold
[Chorus]
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Drunken pirate, stand up straight
We marked your map, we took your fate
[Verse 2]
Pirates with the teeth, but your bite don't land
Your cannon smoke fades when it hits our land
I got barnacled scars and a fist like hail
You got cards and curses and a bucket on a rail
We sail through storms like a blade through cloth
You drift for gold, we come back for wrath
Hear that oar beat pound when the hull gets low
That's the old war tune from the frozen coast
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that chant roll in
Hear that black flag fold
When the waves get loud
We get mean, we get bold
[Chorus]
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Drunken pirate, stand up straight
We marked your map, we took your fate
[Bridge]
Now tell me, shell-backed thief
Who gave you that sea?
You can borrow the tide
You can't take it from me
From fjord to foam
From mast to mast
We leave your name in the wake
And the wake don't last
[Final Chorus]
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Drunken pirate, stand up straight
We marked your map, we took your fate
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Who owns the sea? (We do, we do)
Raise your cups, then drop the blade
The tide knows who was made to reign
