[Intro] Black flag Black heart Captain Black Tear you apart (har har) Tie that knot X marks the spot [Verse 1] Gold in the ground Blood on the sand Crew tried to whisper I cut off the hands They swore on the rum They’d die for the plan They lied with their eyes So I buried the clan Shovel in the moonlight Steel at my hip One wrong word That’s a permanent trip Tongues start waggin? They sleep with the crabs I plant ‘em like treasure In burlap bags They begged for mercy I laughed in their face “You wanted a captain You got a grave” Coins on their eyelids Chains on their chest They guard what I hoarded In rotten vests [Chorus] X marks the spot Where the traitors rot Gold for the captain Bones for the plot If you sail with Black You sail ‘til you drop Talk, and I chalk you Deep in the dock X marks the spot X marks the spot Treasure and bodies Rot in one box [Verse 2] Map made of skin Ink made of fear Every little line’s From a man I speared I carve coordinates Into backs and necks When they start shakin I cancel the breath I feed the ground With the ones I distrust Mix jewels and jaws Turn greed into dust Coffin of coral Casket of sand I stack dead weight With the contraband You think you’re loyal? I’ve heard that tale Soon as we land You’re eager to sell So I let the tide Do what I won’t Lock your lungs Where the seagrass grows [Chorus] X marks the spot Where the traitors rot Gold for the captain Bones for the plot If you sail with Black You sail ‘til you drop Talk, and I chalk you Deep in the dock X marks the spot X marks the spot Treasure and bodies Rot in one box [Bridge] [Beat drops to drums and low bass] I trust the dirt I trust the deep I trust the holes Where the liars sleep I trust the chains Around their throats I never trust A breathing soul (nah) [Chorus] X marks the spot Where the traitors rot Gold for the captain Bones for the plot If you sail with Black You sail ‘til you drop Talk, and I chalk you Deep in the dock X marks the spot X marks the spot Treasure and bodies Rot in one box (har har)
