Pirates
(L: Schell/Cimetta; M: Cimetta)

Notes:
This is a tribute to one of my favorite metal bands, Running Wild. Pirate imagery is natural fodder for them, I just wanted to borrow it for a little while. Besides, who doesn't want to be a pirate?

Climb aboard take a trip of destruction
Canons prepare to fire on command.

Skulls and crossbones fly high on the mast
The pirates sail seas for a wealthy land.

Crew and navigator see shore ahead
Pieces of eight gold and precious treasure.

Raping women and pillaging cities are a part
Of a treacherous adventure they all fight with their heart.

Living—in poverty
Banished—from their society
Hatred—against humanity
Living in poverty
Banished from society
Hatred against humanity.

Riding the oceans a feast is prepared
Food is plentiful bottles of wine are cracked.

Shots fire out as enemy vessels appear
The mighty buccaneers attack but never fear.

Living—in poverty
Banished—from their society
Hatred—against humanity
Living in poverty
Banished from society
Hatred against humanity.

Pirates
Pirates
Pirates
Pirates.

Here they come get out of their way
Surrender or fight it's the price you pay.

Final chapters of the tale are written
A deserted island far off the coast of Britain.

Pirates enjoy the riches and women they have won
Nasty from the start true morals have they none.

Living—in poverty
Banished—from their society
Hatred—against humanity
Living in poverty
Banished from society
Hatred against humanity.
