This is a story of a man

Still haunts the sea

And the ghost still lives on

1701

Queen Anne of Britain

She gave him licence to kill

As the war came along

1716

Became a pirate

Continued his life changing plan

Under Hornigold’s command

1717

Acceding the Concord

Name changed to Queen Anne’s Revenge

With three hundred men

Ship's approaching

Hoist The False Flag

Man the canons

Lit the fuse and fire

Dust and powder

Mist onboard

Over the gunwale

Draw your sword

Conquer the vessel

Seize their gold

Many surrendered in sight, of the flag

Dust and powder

Mist onboard

Over the gunwale Draw your sword

From the shadows

A man appeared

Fierce and wild

From his face, a long black beard

Three years of glory

Soon he’ll meet his enemy

As a ship closes in

1718

Lieutenant Maynard

Has put the search to an end

Though grounded in sand

Teach, the first aboard

Shouting and firing at everyone

And the battle’s begun

Pain in the back

5 musket ball wounds

20 sword lacerations

Yet he still could fight on

Stand and fight - hand-to-hand

Survive or die - Time will tell

Clash of swords - over again

Smoke of pistols

Gold and treasure - never found

Hiding place - No-one knows

Ghost of the sea - is unleashed

This is the tale of Edward Teach

Teach

Teach them how to fear

Fear

Fear his sword and speech

Speech

Speak the words you hear Hear

Remember the tale of Edward Teach
