[Instrumental emotional long intro] [Intro] We left Blackrock Bay With a barrel and a curse Tar on the deck And a hole in the purse Cap'n at the wheel Eyes fixed on the foam Said, "Bring me the storm" We'll make it our home Then the water went black And the gulls flew low We heard that bell From below, below Steel in the fog And a grin in the tide The Devil come calling On the starboard side. [Chorus] We are the devil at sea We are the devil at sea No prayer can hold us back No chain can bend our knee We are the devil at sea We are the devil at sea Raise the black and ride 'til the cold waves swallow me Heave and haul, me hearties We’re owing hell a tide Black canvas on the water The devil’s crew rides by. [Long instrumental solo] [Vers 2] The captain spits a prayer Then laughs it off in smoke Eight cutlasses at our belts And a chest we mean to soak Captain with a grin Knife tucked in his coat Maps stuffed in a chest And a curse inside his throat Billy lost three teeth Laughin' through the fight Mara kept the powder dry And Jack saw through the night. [Chorus] We are the devil at sea We are the devil at sea No prayer can hold us back No chain can bend our knee We are the devil at sea We are the devil at sea Raise the black and ride 'til the cold waves swallow me Heave and haul, me hearties We’re owing hell a tide Black canvas on the water The devil’s crew rides by. [Instrumental long solo] [Outro] Storm came down like nails Waves climbed overboard Still we held the line Still we never bowed to Lord If the deep wants blood Tell it come and see Every man aboard Is a flame in the black sea because - we are - the devil - at sea. [Instrumental long ending] [End]
