[Verse 1] Smoke in his beard Salt in his stare Blackbeard boards first Like death on the stair Tar on his hands Steel on his tongue Mouth full of curses Gunpowder and rum He kicks in the dark He laughs at the scream Flags in the black sky Torn at the seam [Pre-Chorus] You hear that shout? That hell-born call He takes what he wants And he wants it all [Chorus] (Blackbeard) [Whisper] Blackbeard on deck I hear that name And the blood goes cold (Blackbeard) [Whisper] Blackbeard on deck He comes like a storm With a chest full of gold [Verse 2] Chain in the waves Cut in the hull Men go to praying When his eyes go dull No crown, no mercy No place to run He lives for the crack Of a flint and a gun Masts go leaning Minds go blank He leaves your pride At the bottom of the plank [Pre-Chorus] You hear that shout? That hell-born call He takes what he wants And he wants it all [Chorus] (Blackbeard) [Whisper] Blackbeard on deck I hear that name And the blood goes cold (Blackbeard) [Whisper] Blackbeard on deck He comes like a storm With a chest full of gold [Bridge] Burn on the water Ash in the rain He made a king’s fear Out of a pirate’s name No saint, no savior Just teeth and thirst If you see that beard You best strike first [Final Chorus] (Blackbeard) [Whisper] Blackbeard on deck I hear that name And the blood goes cold (Blackbeard) [Rising Scream] Blackbeard on deck He comes like a storm With a chest full of gold (Blackbeard) [Scream] Blackbeard on deck He takes your breath Then he takes your world
