The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This captain goes down with the ship
All hands on deck, stand hip-to-hip
I shout the orders: Shoot to kill!
I'm dressed to thrill
I'm dressed to thrill
And all my enemies
I want their eyes to see
Their captain walk the plank
Destroy them, rank by rank
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we grow, emotion starts to die
We need to find a way, just to keep our desire alive
Now set the sails to quarter mast
We'll jump the ship, we'll sink 'em fast
Men, follow me to victory
Red as the sea
Red as the sea
And to the cannons roar
Their bodies dance ashore
A pirate's life for me
I won't go quietly
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we float, emotion starts to die
We need to find a way, just to keep our desires alive
And to my damsel in distress
You've made a mess of your new dress
And to my damsel in distress
You've made a mess of your new dress
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we float, emotion starts to die
We need to find a way, just to keep our desires alive
Just to keep our desires alive
