[Intro – Low Spoken Chant / Distant Crew] Ohhh… hear that timber groan… Hear that black tide roll… Fire on the deck, death in the smoke— And the sea wants what we stole. [Bass Drop] HEY! HO! STOMP THAT DECK BELOW! HEY! HO! WHERE THE DEAD WINDS BLOW! [Verse 1] Black sail snapping in a blood-red sky, Smoke climbs high where the damned ships die, Boots hit hard and the cannons pound, Whole damn ocean gonna shake from the sound. Rope burns hot and the mast leans low, Orange fire makes the cold sea glow, Captain standing where the embers rise, With a skull on the flag and the storm in his eyes. Coins in the hold and rum in the chest, Never gave a damn for the king’s request, You can send your fleet, you can ring your bell— We’ll drag every last one straight through hell! [Pre-Chorus] Stamp—stamp—hear the floorboards crack, No safe harbor and no turning back, Drums go low while the flames climb higher— Raise that flag in the funeral fire! [Chorus] BURN THE BLACK SAIL! HEY! HEY! Let the whole damn horizon blaze! BURN THE BLACK SAIL! HO! HO! Feel that deep bass shake the waves! Jump when the deck goes BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dance while the cannons split the gloom, No chains, no crown, no grave, no jail— We ride through the fire— BURN THE BLACK SAIL! [Verse 2] Fog rolls thick with a whispering choir, Ghosts in the rigging singing through the fire, Lantern swinging like a dying moon, And the dead crew stomps to a wicked tune. Cutlass flash and the thunder growls, Sea wind screams and the night wolf howls, Treasure ain’t gold when your soul’s the price, But a pirate rolls every cursed pair of dice. From Tortuga docks to the far black coast, Every tavern knows of the burning ghost, If you see that skull through the midnight haze— Turn your ship around or join the blaze! [Pre-Chorus] Stamp—stamp—hear the floorboards crack, No safe harbor and no turning back, Drums go low while the flames climb higher— Raise that flag in the funeral fire! [Chorus] BURN THE BLACK SAIL! HEY! HEY! Let the whole damn horizon blaze! BURN THE BLACK SAIL! HO! HO! Feel that deep bass shake the waves! Jump when the deck goes BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Dance while the cannons split the gloom, No chains, no crown, no grave, no jail— We ride through the fire— BURN THE BLACK SAIL! [Bridge – Deep Half-Time / Creepy Crew Chant] Left foot… Right foot… Stomp when the dead drums call. Low tide… Black tide… One by one they fall. HEY! Raise the bottle! HO! Raise the blade! Dance in the smoke while the devil gets paid! Fire above us, black sea below— Where this damned ship sails… Nobody knows. [Final Chorus – Huge Bass / Full Crew] BURN THE BLACK SAIL! HEY! HEY! Let the storm tear open the sky! BURN THE BLACK SAIL! HO! HO! We were born too wild to die! Jump when the deck goes BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Shake every chain in the ocean gloom, No chains, no crown, no grave, no jail— Raise that skull and scream— BURN THE BLACK SAIL! [Outro – Slow, Dark Chant] Hey… ho… Down where the cold winds blow… Hey… ho… Into the dark we go… Fire dies… Black waves rise… Still that torn flag flies… Burn… the… black… sail.
