lyrics

VERSE 1:
Risen to tremendous wealth
From famine and starvation
The year was 1682
Still a man of reputation

Countless attempts they had
To steal and rob my treasure
Point of my gun, the last they see
With grief and great displeasure


VERSE 2:
But treacherous foes
Bring treacherous strife
The bride of mine with stunning grace
My beloved wife lacked any trace

This fateful night
All that was found
Were skull and crossbones directing
My course to vengeance and revenge


VERSE 3:
Forming my company
Bringing to sea my galleon
With loaded guns and sharpened knives
They won’t expect what’s coming

Out to the open sea
No tempest will detain us
No enemy will hold us back
No drawback too tremendous


REFRAIN:
Raise our flag,
Our banner, our distinctive mark
This is our whitejack
A pirate’s greatest mare of night

Raise our flag,
Our banner, our distinctive mark
This is our whitejack
Our dignity, our foes’ demise


VERSE 4:
Drown their lead-filled chests
Feed parrots to the sharks
Ships, like scales they burn
Prey to gun powder’s marks

Slay the enemy
No mercy for no spine
As long as this pack keeps
Imprisoned what is mine


Sail across the open sea
Sail where the wind will lead
Seek all scum wipe out their kin
No remorse until she’ll be freed
Show no fear, hoist the flag
In reverence our whitejack shines
Terrified on banner’s sight
Clearly distinguished from other ensigns

Halt all thoughts of turning round or cancellation
Bear in mind our purpose that keeps us unsoiled
Never stop until our quest is finally over
No relicts of pirate scum shall ever remain

Seek all cells for prisoners’ clues
Seek for my valentine
She can’t be far, just run down the next
If left alive, she’ll again be mine
Soon, my love, we’ll reunify
Saved from the enemies’ hands
Past and future changeless bliss
On familiar grounds and notorious lands

Thousand days and nights have passed
Everyman but me has gone
I will never end my duty
I will never...


[ 2x REFRAIN ]
