"Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails!
Work harder ye drunken snails!
For treasury like pepper as gold
Let this nautical voyage begin
We are powered by strong European winds"
The triumph of The United Dutch East-India Company
We run a monopoly: spice trade, violence and slavery
"Full speed ahead!"
He's hollering as if he is mad
This ship is captained by a successful psychopath
Fearless, no conscience
The infamous Captain Van Der Decken
So obsessed to be best, nothing less
A crude master yet staunch, refusing to back away from any
kind of tumult
For mace, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon
For silk, porcelain, ivory and opium
Victoriously sails the VOC!
Through the foulest gates, along dangerous reefs and
treacherous bays. Respect and obedience
Under his command they felt challenged but safe
Determination and greed is what he felt
Possessed and focused on profit and wealth
"Weigh the anchor and hoist the sails!
Work harder ye drunken snails!
For treasury like pepper as gold
Let this nautical voyage begin
We are powered by strong European winds"
"Bring me the rum
to celebrate the fortunes to come
Let us sing and drink on a rich and glorious time
For we shall succeed just like this harmonious rhyme"
