about

Pirate rock.

lyrics

Now your lives I won’t save
I live for the gold ‘til the grave
And little as we are against the waves
I am still just a knave

Who won’t give up now
Not after years at the bow
But to have it all I must
Find a crew that I trust

Given the chance I’d choose it again
Anything less than my death is a sin
What kind of guy have I been?
What kind of guy have I been?

It’s all happened before
Once we’re far passed the shore
They’ll all rise against me
So I must set them free

They’ll all walk the plank
Like the others who sank
To the depths below
Where all traders go

Given the chance I’d choose it again
Anything less than my death is a sin
What kind of guy have I been?
What kind of guy have I been?

Is there some lesson I’ve learned
How on the seas I have turned
So rotten with greed
Now your words I won’t head

I don’t think I’ve gone mad
But all my rum has been had
So what’s a poor captain to do?
Get them before they get you

Given the chance I’d choose it again
Anything less than my death is a sin
What kind of guy have I been?
What kind of guy have I been?
