Once I was a sailor True to king and country was I Roaming the world on the fine sloop Ranger On water surrounded by sky Trusting in my crew Fearless men both strong and true The captain was a vain man And he knew not what to do Came across a warship We should’ve stayed to fight Against the pleas of this brave crew The captain ran into the night He was wrong and we were right He was wrong and we were right Whiling in a back bay I took his ship and his command And the faithful crew stood with me And the captain stood where he belonged, on land Branded as a mutineer I could no longer serve So I would ply the oceans And I would take what I deserved So we sail away Skull and crossed swords flying high Legends on the high seas We’ll live as pirates til we die Ships fell before us Abandon Hope served us well How I’ll be remembered only time will tell He was wrong and we were right He was wrong and we were right He was wrong

Leaving 05:03
lyrics

I’m leaving here today. I trust that you won’t stand in my way There’s nothing for me here, and that you know I gave this world a whirl. I tried to be your fine and fancy girl But this life is not for me and I must go I won’t turn around I’m headed far away from this wicked little town There’s nothing you can do. See you and me are really through My life was built on lies made up by you Look what I’ve become. The girl in me is all but gone I’m the man I was meant to be and to my own self I’ll be true I won’t turn around And if you try to stop me I’ll burn this house right to the ground Because I’m leaving today and nothing’s going to stand in my way I’ll be long gone and I’m never coming back to this place that you call home You know that I can’t stay. The truth is I would just get in your way Release me now and your secrets stay with me The blue is calling me. The wind is rising up to carry me on the open sea and to my destiny I won’t turn around And if you try to stop me I’ll burn this house right to the ground Because I’m leaving today and nothing’s going to stand in my way I’ll be long gone and I’m never coming back to this place that you call home They say home is where the heart is, and mine is far from here I’m letting go of everything I once held so dear Let’s leave it at goodbye. No crocodile tears in your eye You chose your life and now I’m choosing mine There’s danger in this world, but we know I am more than just a girl And tonight’s red sky tells me I’ll be just fine I won’t turn around And if you try to stop me I’ll burn this house right to the ground well I’m leaving today and nothing’s going to stand in my way I’ll be long gone and I’m never coming back, I’m never coming back, I’m never coming back to this place that you call home

Come with me We’ll sail the stars to the edge of the sea Run with me Away from a life that never was meant to be Come with me Run with me Tonight you’ll see Where you belong is out on the open sea We’ll be free The life of a pirate is our blue destiny Come with me Run with me Together we will rule the sea Our future is looking bright Come with me Run with me The moon has shown a path right into the sea Tide has turned All bridges burned The wind is right The moon is bright It's time for us to be fast away All your dreams All your fears Everything you ever wanted is here Come with me Run with me We’ll sail the stars to the edge of the sea Come with me Sail away Run with me Trust in me Say you'll stay forever and a day All your dreams All your fears Everything you ever wanted is here Come with me Run with me We'll sail the stars to the edge of the sea

Avast, all ye mateys! Let's have a song North winds in our sails all day long Sail away bright hot day Map and plot our way Hung over from rum and slow But we shan't delay Avast, all ye mateys! Let's have a song North winds in our sails all day long Heave! Ho! What have we got, boys, down in the hold? Barrels of powder, lead, and gold! We'll away on this fine day Map and plot our way Raise it! Let's get out to sea Aye now, we'll away

Here There Be Monsters 03:23

Something is moving under the water, something that we can’t see What can it be? I don’t know The wind is still, the sky is blue, but the waves are crashing down What can it be? I don’t want to know We’ve been this way before and we’re so far from any shore It spooks me to my core, because I’ve heard the sailors' lore That here there be monsters Here there be monsters The sails are trim, the rigging is tight, the ship is holding fast But something is dragging us down, I can feel it All hands on deck, we’ll stand together and fight this blood red tide The stars are on our side and we know it A strange uncharted sea, but strong brave men are we We’ll send this creature back to the deep, and caution the world to heed That here there be monsters, here there be monsters, here there be monsters, here there be monsters The danger is real and clear, but pirates we show no fear We’ll send this demon far below and let all the people know Here there be monsters, here there be monsters This is our story, heed our tale, beware what lies beneath Evil lurks in the sea Here there be monsters, here there be monsters, here there be monsters, here there be monsters

The first time I saw you I knew you were more than just a man And I was in awe of the way you took command You cursed like a sailor, I could tell you were tailor-meant for this I knew that we would be sisters in arms The moment I found you I could see you were once a boy like me And I was astounded to find you in the middle of the sea Then you saw right through me, right through to the true me We were sisters in arms you and me against the world Side by side we will stand together Side by side we will win Through a raging storm or windless weather You're my true, my blue, my one and only friend And now that I've found you I know I will never be alone Here with our captain we'll make this ship our home We'll take on the whole world, and fight like the true girls we are We are sisters in arms you and me against the world When I met you I was so alone But now I've finally found my true home And now that I found you I know I will never be alone Here with our captain we'll make this ship our home We'll take on the whole world and fight like the true girls we are We are sisters in arms you and me against the world We are sisters in arms you and me against the world

The tide has turned the winds of change are here I feel the rustling in the silk of time The earth is strong your roots bring reason to your rhyme We have no doubt we only know the truth The wood will listen as the flesh reveals Prick up your ears hear what we're telling you We bring you life we give you air to breathe We are your shelter we are your home This is the forest We are the trees We do not judge we do not question you We spring eternal in the life of man Come wrap your arms around us and take your leave We know no fear We are the guardians This is the here this is the now We are united in the defense of green This is the forest We are the trees Loblolly pine live oak and sweetgum rising Our sap is blood from an ancient race Red maple grow palmetto laying low Longleaf you shine old hickory doing fine No strange fruit grows anymore on the sycamore This is the forest We are the trees

Fair Winds 04:41
lyrics

Here I am today. My own dreams have carried me away From a life of ease into the wonder of the seas Threescore ten have I, The finest crew that money can buy The pirate’s code will hold these rogues until the day they die All hands on deck, full sails to the wind, raise the colors high, our journey begins Here I am today, a Captain free at last to roam In the finest sloop there ever was. Revenge is my new home To the manor born was I, A gentleman I’ll always be I left no person wanting, when the water called to me All hands on deck, full sails to the wind, our time is now Fair winds and following seas, Full and by we’re riding high. Revenge takes a strong and steady aim and the white flags fly Close aboard she comes now, Our bounty is at hand See her strike the colors; Another ship is mine to command Come let’s fast away men, heart and dagger skull and bone It’s not the gold that drives me, It’s the great unknown Fair winds and following seas, Full and by we’re riding high. Our time has come, the battle won, let the white flags fly

lyrics

We got bales of silk And stuffs of that ilk Iron and sugar and more We got opium (we can get you some!) And saltpeter in store Last out of Bengal Where the songs are strange and troubling Currents now mingle And the very ocean's bubbling Bent to every task Some are bound to ask What is all of this for? Stars direct our course We fear fate and force Out in nothingness deep Bow plows furrows wet Profit's seeds we set Sowing maybe to reap Bad luck off Cochin From the crow's nest news disturbing Who's this approachin'? We -- o! -- loos'ning bowels are curbing Having now hove to, What, pray, must we do If our lives we're to keep? French passes Spyglasses Dread below decks Maybe flee Maybe we May save our necks Parleying Inveighing Yielding at length They scare us But spare us Sapped quite of strength Drifting in a scow We got nothing now We got nothing at all Nothing; not a sou Nothing for our new Happenstance port of call If you would go there You'll speed if you're temerarious Five leagues from nowhere Cheek by jowl with peoples various So farewell to you Fond our fond adieu May life's joys never pall

What we have done Let no one put asunder We're sailing Sailing The late October seas heaved to our plan We loaded up with Nelson's Folly and gin In the cover of night, the navy's ship had come in We took below, we took below We took below, we took below Captain John ran a shot over the bow Sails went black and the ruckus came down Everything that could have went afoul We shook below, we shook below We shook below, we shook below Read blew the hatch and took out our own man! The sisters screamed, "Come up ye cowards and fight like men!" Afire and aghast, they took a pirates' stand We stood below, we stood below We stood below, we stood below Silent is the grave, Jack, so where'd ye go wrong?! These pirates pleading bellies... you knew all along Had you fought like a man you wouldn't hang like a dog

I guess this is goodbye I promise you I'm gonna cry I can't imagine life without you Same to you my friend We made it to the bitter end And here we are again almost at end of our ropes There's so much I want to tell you And there's so little time Everything we've shared together All the world was yours and mine The stories we could tell If we only could live to tell From the moment that I fell I knew that we should be together Nothing left unsaid I knew that we would end up dead So does everyone I'm so glad for every moment I would not change a thing I'm so glad we'll be together When we hear the angels sing Every day we lived our own way No regrets We were queens of the ocean And we did it side by side you and me I'm so glad for every moment I would not change a thing I'm so glad we'll be together When we hear the angels sing I guess this is goodbye I'm trying hard not to cry And if we have to die At least we'll be together

Damn you for villains Who are you For villains for villains From whence came you See our colours, yea We're no pyrates, nay Parley degrades Pistols and blades He spoke a joke Wanted quarters You broke and choked We'll give the orders We tack, fly black Making thunder Your mast just cracked We'll take our plunder Take the other's boat Ship is still afloat Go hold a vote Who'll wear the coat Windblown we roam Stars a turning dome Making our way home Feeling in our bones Go home, go home, back to Ocracoke Home! Anchor at Ocracoke (Damnation seize my soul if take quarters from you) Windblown we roam Stars a turning dome Making our way home Yea we're nearing home Home Anchored at Ocracoke We're home, anchored at Ocracoke
