A Pirate’s Lament (Acoustic)

V5.5

(Verse 1) Oh the wind it howls and the waves they roar, A pirate’s life is cursed forevermore. With a heart so hollow and a soul so grey, We sail the seas but can’t find our way. (Chorus) Oh, the sea, she takes and she never gives, In the stormy nights, we barely live. We trade our souls for a fleeting prize, But the treasure’s dust in our weary eyes. (Verse 2) The captain’s voice, it cracks with hate, A twisted crew, it’s far too late. For gold and rum, we lost our soul, And now we’re damned, with no control. (Chorus) Oh, the sea, she takes and she never gives, In the stormy nights, we barely live. We trade our souls for a fleeting prize, But the treasure’s dust in our weary eyes. (Bridge) We’ve buried friends in the sands of time, Their faces fade, no bells to chime. No port to call, no land to see, Just endless waves, and misery. (Chorus) Oh, the sea, she takes and she never gives, In the stormy nights, we barely live. We trade our souls for a fleeting prize, But the treasure’s dust in our weary eyes. (Outro) So sail with me, and you’ll soon learn, That riches fade and hopes will burn. The pirate’s life is one of dread, Where the living envy the dead.
