[Intro] The king left no map, just a mark on the stone And seven black gates where the sea winds moan [Verse 1] Old Captain Rook hid the crown-gold deep Where the iron cliffs bite and the dead men sleep Now every fool with a blade and a plan Has come to claim what the king once ran [Pre-Chorus] Seven trials stand between us and the hoard Take one step closer, pay the toll in blood [Chorus] Raise your flag, let the wild tide roar Seven trials to the pirate king’s store Through fire and fang, through the storm’s black teeth We’ll take that treasure—or lie beneath! [Verse 2] First, cross the bridge where the hot stones split Second, outrun the blades in the tunnel’s slit Third, drink from the well where the poison runs green Fourth, face the beast that guards the ravine [Pre-Chorus] Four scars carved deep, still we press ahead The gold is calling from the mountain’s bed [Chorus] Raise your flag, let the wild tide roar Seven trials to the pirate king’s store Through fire and fang, through the storm’s black teeth We’ll take that treasure—or lie beneath! [Verse 3] Fifth, sail the whirlpool with a torn black sail Sixth, bargain with the dead in the bone-white gale Seventh, stand alone where the king keeps watch His ghost has a blade and a heart of frost [Bridge] He asks, “What’s worth more than the gold I hid?” We answer, “The crew that came through it!” His cold grin breaks, and the vault swings wide A thousand bright coins—and the dawn outside [Final Chorus] Raise your flag, let the wild tide roar Seven trials down, we’re through the door Through fire and fang, through the storm’s black teeth We claimed the treasure—and sailed beneath! [Outro] The king’s old gold rolls from shore to shore But the crew’s still hungry—there’s always more!
