We were a bunch of wild sea devils waving a flag of black, sailing on seas no pirate sailed never looking back
Them other dogs on those other ships prowling on the main, they laughed at our plot, scoffed and said we 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. We showed them all we had the gall with a single cannon's blast
With a laugh we chose a path that would someday change the world. We'd need no plan to make our stand as our sails were unfurled
We cut our swath across the seas but little did we know, those scavengers they would follow us and in our shadow grow
We sailed our ships straight down the coast 'till 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 hell which only fueled our rage; the walls that were built to keep us out soon became their cage
Our broadsides answered those cannons' calls, our guns spoke with theirs. Bold blackgaurds we, swiftly stormed ashore and laughed at the soldier's tranyer'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.
With a laugh we chose a path that would someday change the world. We'd need no plan to make our stand as our sails were unfurled
We cut our swath across the seas but little did we know, those scavengers they would follow us and in our shadow grow
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 and for that they would atone. We hove full sail and heaved her 'round and made this fight their own
