lirik lagu jolly rogers - the fight
we were a bunch o’ wild sea devils raisin’ the flag o’
black
sailin’ seas no pirate sailed and never lookin’ back!
them other dogs on them other ships out prowlin’ on the
main
they laughed at our plot, scoffed and said we all must
be insane.
“those waters are free,” said they, “for the risk is
just too high.”
“vultures,” said we, “take the easy prey, while hunters
take the prize!”
we all geared up and armed the ship for the die it had
been cast,
and we showed them all that we had the gall with a
single cannon’s blast.
chorus:
with a laugh we chose a path that would someday change
the world,
we’d need no plan to make our stand as the sails they
were unfurled.
we cut our swath across the seas and little did we
know,
those scavengers they would follow us and in our shadow
grow.
we sailed our ships straight down the coast to the
first port that we saw,
their men were brave and their walls were lined with
more guns than panama
their cannon tore our masts to h-ll which only fueled
our rage
and walls that were built to keep us out now became
their cage!
our broadside answered those cannons’ call, our guns
spoke with theirs
bold blackguards, we, stormed ash-r- and laughed at the
soldier’s stares
we met their steel in the streets and fought for our
renown,
with powder and shot their blood we sought and burned
them to the ground.
chorus
we carved our name across the seas, our wealth and
power grew
though these waters had been tamed by us, in our wake
those vultures flew
they called us mad when we began, for that they would
atone
we hove full sail and heaved her ‘round and made this
fight their own!
the first of our good pirate friends was a frigate
unaware
they gave salute and bid us approach as we brought our
guns to bear,
our grapeshot took the upper decks while our br-ss shot
breeched below
their first mate died as their captain cried and their
crew ran to and fro.
chorus
down to the last buccaneer, they died crying our names
and they screamed like frightened children as their
ships went up in flames
some were burned, some we shot, some met the salty
kiss,
“mercy!” they begged at their last breath and each did
we dismiss
“so to you thieves and pretenders and those that take
our path
you should know before you start that none escape our
wrath
but hear out this compromise on which we should agree
keep your weak-hearted band upon the land, for we
pirates rule the sea!”
