[Intro] Storm in my teeth Blood in my laugh Name on they lips Black on my flag (hah!) [Verse 1] They say my name in a whisper I want it screamed from the reef Captain Black on the quarterdeck grinning gold in my gums, in my grief Salt in the stitches knife in the map Rum on my breath cannon in my lap I point one ringed finger at the sky Crew go quiet you can hear that tide [Chorus] Raise the black let it snap in the wind Let ‘em see what hell I’m in Skull and bones up yeah the reaper’s back When that cloth starts climbing you ain’t coming back Raise the black hear the timbers groan We got killing to do and treasure to own Raise the black ‘til the daylight cracks Once that flag is flying ain’t no turning back (back, back) [Verse 2] Lanterns low we stalking the glow Of a fat rich hull won’t make it home I taste that fear before they scream I smell that gold before it gleams “Ready the steel” and they bare they teeth Boots pound boards like a war drum beat One word from me and the night turns red “I want their cargo, coins, and heads” [Chorus] Raise the black let it snap in the wind Let ‘em see what hell I’m in Skull and bones up yeah the reaper’s back When that cloth starts climbing you ain’t coming back Raise the black hear the timbers groan We got killing to do and treasure to own Raise the black ‘til the daylight cracks Once that flag is flying ain’t no turning back (hah!) [Bridge] All hands hungry all hearts hollow Blood in the wake and the ghosts that follow Pray to your gods as the sky turns ash I give the word and the guns all flash (boom) [Chorus] Raise the black let it snap in the wind Let ‘em see what hell I’m in Skull and bones up yeah the reaper’s back When that cloth starts climbing you ain’t coming back Raise the black hear the timbers groan We got killing to do and treasure to own Raise the black ‘til the daylight cracks Once that flag is flying ain’t no turning back (Captain Black!) [Outro] Raise the black let it snap in the wind Let ‘em see what hell I’m in Skull and bones up yeah the reaper’s back When that cloth starts climbing you ain’t coming back Raise the black hear the timbers groan We got killing to do and treasure to own Raise the black ‘til the daylight cracks Once that flag is flying ain’t no turning back
