For weeks, we’ve been on sea

Looking for a prize

Finally, at the horizon

A mast begins to rise

We change the course

To pursue the prey

The distance gets smaller

The target turns away

But we can catch up

Prepared to fight

The cannons are loaded

Everyone is quiet

REF

The Black Flag we raise

We board that ship

Fear is in their eyes

They regret this trip

Your cargo we take

No matter what you try

So make no mistake

Surrender or die!

We sail abeam

For orders we wait

Our captain offers them

To choose their fate

But these dumb lobsters

Don’t want to retreat

‘Captain orders fire

Now they face defeat

REF

The battle was hard

They fought till death

Their captain begged for mercy

With his last breath

Now we will plunder

Their cargo hold

The success is great

It is full of gold

REF

Surrender or die!
