Lyrics to Pirates :
“Who'll make his mark?� The captain cried
“To the devil drink a toast. We'll glut the hold with cups of gold;
We'll feed the sea with ghosts.
I see your hunger for a fortune could be better served beneath my flag.
If you've the stomach for a broadside, come aboard my pretty boys.
I will take you and make you everything you've ever dreamed.

Make fast the guns tonight we sail, when the high tide floods the bay.
Cut free the lines and square the yards. Get the black flag stowed away.
The Turk the Arab and the Spaniard, will soon have pennies on their eyes.
And any other laden fancy, we will take her by surprise.
I will take you and make you, everything you've ever dreamed.

Six days off the Cuban coast, when a sail ahead they spied.
�A galleon of the treasure fleet,� the mizzen lookout cried.
�Closer; to the wind my boys!� The mad eyed captain roared.
For every man that's alive tonight will be hauling gold aboard!�

�Spare us� the galleon begged. But mercy's face had fled.
Blood ran from the screaming souls; The cutlass harvested.
Driven to the quarter deck, the last survivor fell.
�She's ours my boys�, The captain grinned, and no one left to tell.

The captain rose from a silk divan with a pistol in his fist.
And shot the lock from an iron box, and a blood red rube he kissed.
�I give you jewelry of turquoise, a crucifix of solid gold.
One hundred thousand silver pieces; It is just as I foretold.
You, you see there, before you, everything you've ever dreamed...�

Anchored in an indigo moonlit bay;
Gold eyed 'round fires, the sea thieves lay.
Morning, white shells And a pipe of clay;
As the wind filled their footprints, They were far, far away...

Our sails swell full, as we brave all seas.
On a westward wind; to live as we please.
With the wicked wild-eyed woman of Portobello town;
Where we've been told that a purse of gold buys any man a crown.
They will serve you and clothe you; exchange your rags For the velvet coats of kings.

�Who'll drink a toast with me? I give you liberty!
This town is ours - tonight

Landlord wine, and make it the finest.
Make it a cup for a sea dogs thirst
Two long years of bones and beaches; fever and leaches did their worst.
So fill the night with paradise; bring me peach and peacock 'till i burst...
But first, I want a soft touch, in the right place
I want to feel like a king tonight. Ten on the black, to beat the Frenchman.
Back you dogs, give them room to turn
Now open wide sweet heavens gate
Tonight were gonna see if heaven burns
Ooh, see how she burn!
Oh, she burns!
I want an angel, on a gold chain. And I'll ride her to the stars.
It's the last time, for a long, long time. Come the daybreak we embark.
On the flood of the morning tide, once more the ocean cried.

This company will return one day.
Though we feel your tears, it's the price we pay.
For there's prizes to be taken, and glory to be found.
Cut free the chains, make fast your souls
We are Eldorado bound.
I will take you, for always, forever, together
Until hell calls our names.

Who'll drink a toast with me
To the devil and the deep blue sea
Gold drives a man to dream
