[Intro] Mmmmmmm-mmmmmmm MMmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmmm Mmmmmmm-mmmmmmm MMmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmmm [Verse 1] Black flag breathin' Salt cut the tongue, we heathens Boots thump decks like demons Night so thick, can't see us Scar on my jaw, that’s scripture Blood in the foam paint pictures Tie that rope, grip that fixture One loose knot, we sink with ya Rum in the veins, still ready Look in my eye, too deadly Chain round my neck, that’s heavy Keys to the deep, I’m petty I don’t bluff, I brand Burn my mark in sand Storm in the curl of my hand You drown where you stand [Chorus] All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When I call that chant, you give me respect Pray to the deep, let the cold gods bless From the black of the trench, put steel in our chests All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When the waves rise up, we cash that check Give salt, give blood, pay every debt From the mouth of the abyss, we ain't died yet [Verse 2] Hear that creak, that’s warning Old wood moan like mourning Tide pull hard, distorting Stars all gone, no pointing I spit wrath on the railing Barnacles bite, ship aailing Still my grip, unfailing I ride curses like sailing Knees hit plank, start prayer Whisper in tongues, breathe terror Old words crawl through the air Sea-fiends stare from their lair "Take these souls I’m owing Guide my blade where it’s going Fill my lungs while I’m choking Make their hull start open" [Pre-Chorus] [voices low, building] One by one, they mumble names Of the shades inside the waves Every oath, another chain Every chain, another slave (to the grave) [Chorus] All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When I call that chant, you give me respect Pray to the deep, let the cold gods bless From the black of the trench, put steel in our chests All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When the waves rise up, we cash that check Give salt, give blood, pay every debt From the mouth of the abyss, we ain't died yet [Bridge] [beat drops to low rumble] If I say jump, you leap If I say cut, they bleed If I say drown, that’s sleep Crew and crown, both mine to keep (ha) Raise that mast like a blade Shadow fall over prey Every raid, we trade our days Deep keeps count, I write my name [Chorus] All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When I call that chant, you give me respect Pray to the deep, let the cold gods bless From the black of the trench, put steel in our chests All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When the waves rise up, we cash that check Give salt, give blood, pay every debt From the mouth of the abyss, we ain't died yet (yeah) [Outro] All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When I call that chant, you give me respect Pray to the deep, let the cold gods bless From the black of the trench, put steel in our chests All hands on deck (all hands on deck) When the waves rise up, we cash that check Give salt, give blood, pay every debt From the mouth of the abyss, we ain't died yet
