I’ve fought past maps they don’t sell no more Past stars with teeth and corporate wars Ran blockades where the rich got fed Off stolen work and the un-quiet dead I cracked their fleets, I cut their chains Left boardrooms empty, with no claims They called it order, I called it theft I took what I could, gave back the rest I did the big things, yeah, I did my time Saved whole worlds, crossed every line Now the sea’s calm, and that suits me fine Just a ship, a crew, and a fairer tide Then came Locher with his crown of rot Undead crews that never forgot Sailed with bones where men should breathe Thought fear alone would bring me to knees Kraken rose, wrecked half the fleet Still went down when we shook the beat Took that flag, watched it sink slow Sea went still when the curse let go No songs for kings, no throne for me Just work that sets the water free I did the big things, yeah, I did my time Beat back monsters, crossed that line Now the sea’s calm, and that suits me fine Just a ship, a crew, and a fairer tide Now I sail where the weak still pray That someone comes and scares wolves away We hit fat ships, we miss the poor Leave food on docks, gold on floors Call me thief if it helps you sleep I know who eats, I know who weep If you hoard, we knock polite If you’re hunted, you sail tonight I’ve worn the title. I’ve burned the map. I’ve seen the edge. I came back. I did the big things, now I stay small Wind, rope, laugh, and cannon call If legends fade, I won’t mind at all Long as the sea stays fair to us all No crown. No curse. No fate to chase. Just Lyla, laughing, Leaving port again.
