Verse

The houses are white, the houses are tall,

And hungry rats live behind each wall

Hatred and gold is the rule of the street

Arrogant fools swim in their greed.

Orphanage next to pub, brothel and church,

Empty faced children, suffering, hurt,

No matter what humans live in this place

The flag with the skull comes and they'll be in flames

Chorus

This town is beautiful, this town glitters

This town's true life is in the gutters

Women in pretty clothes covered in lice

Men growing rich with deception and lies.

Verse

Pirates take the town, pirates with swords,

They smash the windows and break down the doors

They grab what they can and laugh at screams

Taking the riches and burning the streets.

Captain is first, holding two knives

His face is in shadow, as he kills what he finds

He leaves no witnesses and he keeps the lore

And he sets fire to the orphanage door

Hard Verse

People fill the church, fleeing the flames,

They kneel on the stone floor and each one prays

And now he hears he is called the Captain from hell

And he makes the church ready for the funeral bell.

He shouts a command to return to ship

His men follow him, his steps are quick

He is standing tall and he keeps his pace

And the flames show the tears on his face.

Chorus 2x

This town is beautiful, this town glitters

This town's true life is in the gutters

Women in pretty clothes covered in lice

Men growing rich with deception and lies.

This town…

This town…

This town is beautiful

This town…

This town…

This town is beautiful
