[ SN ] A Pirate's Life

 
Fortunes are made by foolish men    
there for the taking to be taken;      
forget about buried treasure      
In far away lands forsaken      
     
Give me a vessel worthy of raking
by cannon fire      
     
Hear the wind in the sails  
above your head as the crew  
hoists them higher      
     
Never will you
ever witness another view      
quite like this      
     
Ripe for the plundering      
is the horizon of white and blue      
     
Lust and desire---      
such a fine line betwixt the two      
     
And no time for wondering      
which is true      
     
What say you?      
     
Aye!      
     
The kingdom of the Seven Seas      
knows not a lord or master      
It boils down to which Captain's ship      
can withstand guns, sail faster      
     
Do you have what it takes to be a pirate?      
Are you ruthless as the sharks      
Cold as the sea?      
     
Can you take another
man's hard earned wages      
without giving him anything in return      
save misery?      
     
Load up the shot into the Long Nines      
Make ready the grappling hooks and lines      
Prepare to board, risk your lives
for silver and gold      
     
For adventure  
beyond your wildest fantasy      
To live forever onward      
til end of written history      
     
Be you young or old---      
are you that daring enough      
---that bold to sail with me?      
     
Let me hear you!      
     
AYE!
