Pirates Life - Saltatio Mortis

Chorus: It’s wonderful living the life of a pirate

With the freedom to take what we can

And we’ll sail the world over, searchin' for plunder

Not fearin' to face any man, not fearin' to face any man

We call no man our master, no lord and no king

Not long in one place do we stay

And this world is for those who can grab it, and hold it

Possession’s the law of the day

So we take what we want, we don’t bother with buyin'

We say what we mean, there ain’t no point to lyin'

Don’t like what we say, you might find yourself dyin'

In a manner too gruesome to say

When we come into town to spend all our spoils

A good time will be had by all

We’ll all head to some pub to get drunk on our arses

When we’re there, there ain’t no last call

I’ll get rum for meself and buy ale for me friends

And a great deal of loot on the wenches I’ll spend

When the money’s all gone it’s off to sea again

To trade cargo for cannonball

There’s not one of us left who has not yet been blooded

For killing’s a part of our trade

And the only thing standing between us and death

Is strength of arm, and speed of blade

So we live every day like it might be our last

For all of us know that life is hard and fast

We live for the moment, don’t care 'bout the past

From this is our comradeship made
