[Verse 1] Smoke on the tide Rust on the rails of the bow Cards on the barrel Someone’s cheating somehow Map on the table Stained with rum and lies Gold in the margins Calling from the rise [Chorus] Hear the call of the ocean Like a drum in my chest (hey!) Every wave Every motion Points the same way west Raise your glass to the danger To the salt and the storm When the call of the ocean Drags you from the shore [Verse 2] Lanterns swinging Chains hum low Names on a blacklist Ready to go Old Jory laughing “One more score” Hearts all leaning Toward that shore [Chorus] Hear the call of the ocean Like a drum in my chest (oh!) Every wave Every motion Dares us Beats its crest Raise your glass to the danger To the salt and the storm When the call of the ocean Drags you from the shore [Bridge] Sing “ho Ho” for the broken oaths “Ha Ha” for the gallows’ rope Steel at our hips Wind at our back All that we own Fits in a sack (ho!) [Chorus] Hear the call of the ocean Like a drum in my chest Every wave Every motion Swears we’re cursed and blessed Raise your glass to the danger To the salt and the roar When the call of the ocean Screams “Pirate Sail once more!”
