Lyrics
TO FLY THE FLAG LIBERTALIA
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.
"Since I was a child, I've always been fascinated by pirates. As I got older I read more about pirates and learned that many had a code of ethics more admirable than mere criminality. I, and several others I've met, have individually come to the conclusion that pirates bear many similarities to hardcore punks. And when I read about the semi-mythical colony of Libertalia, a socialist, humanitarian and revolutionary group of misfits and freed slaves, founded in Madagascar by Captain Misson and Father Caraccioli, I was inspired to someday follow in their footsteps."
Some day I'll walk away
and leave this all behind
free to roam the world
no longer trapped, penned in, confined
rid myself of being
possessed by possessions
set my goals
on a new direction
a life of liberty
comradeship above leadership
rejection of nation states
no distinction of differences
I'll claim my natural right
to a share of the earth
as piracy's self preservation
against death culture capitalism
