Tonight, a burning thought.
In my mind, a dream so old.
In my heart, a rising flame.
But they try to take it away.
An elderly man with a smile on his face.
He asked me if I’m captain, I said
All my friends are pirates.
“Yo ho ho, what a great day this be?”
He told me while laughing, he yelled
“The black will always call me back.”
At sea, he wanted to set sail, again
Like the good old days,
hunting prey with captain Vane.
Now he drinks rum in the local pub, alone
and all the people say,
he’s the mad fool of this bay.

My identity
This is my life
My reality
Ooooh
Chasing dreams, turning wild.
Black flag waving in the sky.
skull and crossbones scare away,
all those who don’t dare to stay.
I said pirates fuck em all.
I said pirates fuck em all.
Pirates fuck em all.
Its the word everyone should know.
And as the wind spread tales up in the sky.
He looked (at) me with a straight dead eye.
"Boy, you ain't got what it takes,
the sea's a god damned wicked place."
"The salt and blood will tear you apart
and alcohol will fill your heart
go find a lass and settle down
this world's so rough you'll fucking drown"
"I won't back down, I'm setting sail."
"With fists up high I will prevail."
His eyes lit up, he starts to laugh
and calmly reaches for his back
The gun was pointed straight at me,
then puts it right up to his chin,
a large bang and a pool of blood,
and all his dreams spilled on the wall.
