Royal Fortune : Pirate Shanty

Song Lyrics: From the harbors of Wales to the African coast, Sails the deadliest devil the Atlantic can boast! Draped in crimson and silk with a pistol-decked vest, He's the terror that haunts every governor’s chest! Over four hundred prizes were struck by his crew, Carving trails through the green and the deep bitter blue! Not a drop of strong rum while the watch is at sea, Yet no navy on earth is as lawless as he! So run up the skeleton holding his spear, For the master of broadsides is drawing us near! Raise the Royal Fortune high and run the cannons out, Hear the merchantmen tremble and shatter in doubt! Through the sulfur and steel let our victory sound, As we plunder the wealth where the treasures are found! Let the admirals weep for the ships they have lost, While we claim the whole ocean no matter the cost! From the sands of Brazil to the Caribbean tide, There is nowhere the prey of his vessel can hide! With his code locked in iron and articles signed, He's the sharpest commander the water could find! Every frigate that challenges falls to his force, As he strikes down his targets and holds to his course! Undefeated and fierce at the crest of the wave, He's a lord of the blue who will ne'er be a slave! The rigging is freezing, the hemp lines are taut, For the greatest rogue warrior that ever was caught! Raise the Royal Fortune high and run the cannons out, Hear the merchantmen tremble and shatter in doubt! Through the sulfur and steel let our victory sound, As we plunder the wealth where the treasures are found! Let the admirals weep for the ships they have lost, While we claim the whole ocean no matter the cost! Load the grape! Prime the match! Drop his body down deep where no navy can catch! The dark floor is waiting, silent and steep, As the captain goes down to his eternal sleep! Raise the Royal Fortune high and run the cannons out, Hear the merchantmen tremble and shatter in doubt! Through the sulfur and steel let our victory sound, As we plunder the wealth where the treasures are found! Let the admirals weep for the ships they have lost, While we claim the whole ocean no matter the cost! SHIPS THEY HAVE LOST! NO MATTER THE COST!
