She used to dance on the crest Of the tallest of waves Take her choice of the best Of the plunder to come her way Oh how she'd rise to the test When the oceans would raaaage If by chance you'll have guessed That this tale ends in woe Keep your hands to your chest As I want you to know The dishonor and glory That led to the story You'll hear as I conquer the stage May the ghost of her crew be forgotten As their corpse in the blue lay there rotten May her killers be restless in watery graves But her bones are still out there reclaiming the waves She was called to the south Where the planks of her hull were stained charcoal and red As the steel in her mouth roared the language of death When the battle had ended The vessel set off With no allies along to defend it When the Raven caught wind of the battle his forces had lost He moved in on the ship and extracted a cost I can't say what the Long Fall beheld on that night He left no one to speak of the fight May the ghost of her crew be forgotten As their corpse in the blue lay there rotten May her killers be restless in watery graves But her bones are still out there reclaiming the waves She was prized in her prime And a prize she became striking fear all her life And in death just the same Though she won't be returning again To her old port of call The bones of the Long Fall So the Rook takes the Queen Of the Pirates In chains at the mast With the Prince of the Dead at her side But with wind in the sail They prevail And avast! They give him to the whims of the tide May the ghost of her crew be forgotten As their corpse in the blue lay there rotten May her killers be restless in watery graves But her bones are still out there reclaiming the waves So if you find your vessel becalmed With a sun that won't set Where the beasties are dead Keep your eyes on horizon And listen in fear for the call Of the bones of the Long Fall
