[Verse 1]
Black flag on the spire
Coins clink
Loaded dice
You pray to the light
I drink from the fire
Cross carved in your armor
Skulls carved in my mast
Holy words on your banner
I just laugh and raise my glass
[Chorus]
Six six six vs seven seven seven
Steel and scripture
Fang and feather
You call down saints
I call the storm
Let heaven tremble when our worlds collide together
Six six six vs seven seven seven
Who draws blood and who gets forgiven?
On this deck under a shattered sky
Only truth survives
[Verse 2]
You sing in stained-glass colors
I roar in rust and chain
Your harp hums ancient comfort
My drum is thunder
War
And rain
Candles on your altar
Lanterns in my hold
You kiss relics
I kiss rations
Both of us afraid of getting old
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Monk’s bell tolls
Over crashing foam
Latin verses in the wind
Shiver through my bones
Flute and fiddle
Circle with the drum
Halo over battlefields
Crown of horns
Here I come [crescendo]
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
