[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Boot on the rail Gold in my hand Blood in the grooves Map of your land Rum on my breath Rust on my blade Bounty on heads Bills get paid Black flag snapping Teeth full of steel Eyes like cannonballs Looking for a keel Don't pray for the dawn Don't pray for a fight Coward motherfucker I own the night [Chorus] Walk the plank Hear the woodboards groan Every little step Is a broken bone Walk the plank Feel the cold tide rise Last thing you’ll see My dead black eyes Walk the plank Hear the crew all chant You beg for a chance But a ghost can’t rant Walk the plank No turning back Your final breath Belongs to Black [Verse 2] Rope round your wrists Knees start to shake You begging for mercy That’s my favorite mistake Tied up tight On splintered oak You plead, you cry Bitch I laugh while you choke Treasure in the hold Bodies in the wake Every soft heart Made the same mistake Thinking I bargain Thinking I bend I don’t make deals Now comes your end [Bridge] [Beat drops to low bass and creaks, distant thunder] Line up the cowards (hey!) Count every sin I don’t need a jury Just the sea and the wind I raise one finger Silence the deck One word only “Jump” Then death [Chorus] Walk the plank Hear the woodboards groan Every little step Is a broken bone Walk the plank Feel the cold tide rise Last thing you’ll see My dead black eyes Walk the plank Hear the crew all chant You beg for a chance But a ghost can’t rant Walk the plank No turning back Your final breath Belongs to Black [Outro] Walk the plank Hear the woodboards groan Every little step Is a broken bone Walk the plank Feel the cold tide rise Last thing you’ll see My dead black eyes Walk the plank Hear the crew all chant You beg for a chance But a ghost can’t rant Walk the plank No turning back Your final breath Belongs to Black
