lirik lagu ye banished privateers - for a fragile moment's ease
a long way from the mainland forgotten by the crown
there’s a cabin by the lookout cliff in this sleepy little town
where there’s laughter in the orchard and me small’uns run around
and me soul mate sings a lovesong from a distant county down
in a harbor town bordello with the cattle i was raised
this mwas any years ago now and a long way from this place
but to rise up from the gutters, there’s a price you have to pay
you tell me, “was it worth it?” when you’ve listened to my tale
i have fallen through the gallows, i’ve donned a priest man’s robe
got stuck in the windwards shallows with a tackle and a rope
made an orphan of a keelson, and i’ve stared a deadeye down
even bedded with a stern gun and i danced her off the brow
i brought fire down on bristol, in portal royal i have bled
and i’ve swung away me trusted boarding axe till navy decks ran red
and i’ve smuggled shady doc-ments on pestilential dead
sold out me loyal shipmates to save me sorry head
and i’ve sunk unarmed freighters, and i’ve watched the crewmen drown
and i shot my mate johansen in the back in kingston town
even signed a sheet of paper to hunt my brethren down
then stole away the navy sloop and ran that sh-t aground
now i’ve swum across the lethe, now i’m resting on the sh0r-
i divided and i conquered, but now i sail no more
for my love and for my children, for a fragile moment’s peace
with all my sins i paid for this friend enter, be at ease
