(Full Version) (Verse 1) We marched beneath his crimson flag, Through storm and flame and broken snag. But greed became our captain’s creed, And gold our only god to heed. (Refrain) Ooooh—hear the ghosts who guard the gleam, Lost forever in the sea’s dark dream. Ooooh—on the tide our voices roam, Bound to the gold we’ll never bring home. (Verse 2) We begged the sea to claim the chest, But cursed gold never knows its rest. Our bones dissolved, our shadows fled, Yet still we walk among the dead. (Pre-Chorus) And every moonlit tide we cry: “Let sleeping treasure lie!” (Refrain) Ooooh—hear the ghosts who guard the gleam, Lost forever in the sea’s dark dream. Ooooh—on the tide our voices roam, Bound to the gold we’ll never bring home. (Verse 3) Our chains ain’t forged from mortal steel, But every vow we failed to feel. A thousand screams beneath the foam, From souls that never made it home. (Bridge) So traveler, if ye hear our hymn, Turn back before yer future dims. For once ye claim that eerie shine, Yer fate will mirror mine. (Final Refrain) Ooooh—hear the ghosts who guard the gleam, The cursed choir of the deep-sea dream. Ooooh—seek not what the shadows keep, Or join our voices in the endless deep.
