Raise Hell, Not Anchors

[Intro] [Call] Who sails the black horizon? [Response] We sail the black horizon! [Call] Who fears a crown or chain? [Response] Not us Not now Not ever! (hey!) [Verse 1] [Call] They branded us thieves in the harbors of men [Response] So we carved our own laws in the foam [Call] With smoke in our lungs and steel in our grin [Response] We made the wild water our home [Call] Let emperors rot in their rusted gold [Response] We drink to the storms they dread [Call] Our banner is tattered Our stories are bold [Response] We answer to thunder instead [Pre-Chorus] [Call] Will you kneel to a name on a rusted throne? [Response] We will roar till the idols fall [Call] When they tighten the rope When they claim your soul [Response] Cut loose Let the black tide call! [Chorus] [Call] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Response] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Call] Let the cannon speak when the tyrants point their swords [Response] Let the cannon speak when they dare to claim our world [Call] If the world wants war Then we’ll bring the storm [Response] If they want our heads They’ll get our horns [Call] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Response] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! (hey!) [Verse 2] [Call] We’ve buried their maps in the maw of the deep [Response] Our compass is hunger and flame [Call] The sirens sing oaths that the meek cannot keep [Response] We answer in curses and praise [Call] From shattered white cliffs to the edge of the chart [Response] Our names ride the gulls on the wind [Call] They hunt for our skulls But they’ll choke on our hearts [Response] For we’re far too wicked to bend [Pre-Chorus] [Call] When the paid men march in their polished lines [Response] We will dance where their courage fades [Call] When the night bites back and the red moons rise [Response] We’ll be laughing in burning waves! [Chorus] [Call] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Response] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Call] Let the cannon speak when the tyrants point their swords [Response] Let the cannon speak when they dare to claim our world [Call] If the world wants war Then we’ll bring the storm [Response] If they want our heads They’ll get our horns [Call] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Response] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! (woah-oh!) [Bridge] [Call] Who owns the sea? [Response] No crown No creed! [Call] Who writes the law? [Response] The blood we bleed! [Call] What flag we fly? [Response] The torn and true! [Call] What price our pride? [Response] They’ll never pay it through! [Chorus] [Call] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Response] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Call] Let the cannon speak when the tyrants point their swords [Response] Let the cannon speak when they dare to claim our world [Call] If the chains come close Let the hull run red [Response] Better die out here than in silken beds [Call] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [Response] Raise hell Not anchors Boys! [All] Raise hell Not anchors Boys!
