Burning Sea Lyrics & Tabs by Captain Dan & the Scurvy Crew
Burning Sea
guitar chords lyrics
(Cap D)
1720, New World's on fire
Got them sailors makin' money with them guns for hire
Got that letter of marquee ye be grindin'
On the seas ye be free to sinkin' what ye findin'
Free traders sailin' freighters droppin' cargo for dimes
To the islands, and their neighbors then there's treasure to find
There be men of the law who be quick on the draw
'Cause them nations be impatient when exploitin' their flaws
(Admirality)
You know the score, navy vessels be patrolling the shores
Can you dig it when our frigates be enforcing them laws?
From the quays to the caves, yeah you'd better behave,
Cos when we battle on the seas the Caribbean's your grave
Outgunned, outclassed, you don't stand a chance
From the quays to the caves, yeah you'd better behave,
Cos when we battle on the seas the Caribbean's your grave
Outgunned, outclassed, you don't stand a chance
Jack Ketch here to fetch you for the Hangman's Dance
'Cause I swear on my hat, and all the rum that I sup
That we'll never stop till Davy Jones has locked 'em all up
(Cap D)
We're off to sail the burning sea
That's the life for me
We're off to sail the burning sea
Lives of piracy
We're off to sail the burning sea
That's the life for me
(Admirality)
Agreed, ye damn fiend - spark up that sea weed!
'Cause tonight we dine in hell and from our mission we're freed!
(Cap D)
I be a pirate, there's no use to hide it
I've been sailin' burning seas, hearing pleas, I can't deny it
I'm cuttin' Navies down… Did I stutter?
Slice through your fleet like they made out of butter
I like more than plunder, strike shores with thunder
I fight dirty on the grind, blowin' boards asunder
My cannons will sting and yo, I head no king
Sure to brag once we freed your bling
(Admirality)
Well pack it in 'cause taking rings be the least of yer sins
Scurvy rhymes, dollar signs, Cornish pasties and cash-ins
I'll never fly the bones - blue's forever in fashion
The sea is my heart, and my ship is my passion
(Cap D)
We're off to sail the burning sea
That's the life for me
We're off to sail the burning sea
Lives of piracy
We're off to sail the burning sea
That's the life for me
(Admirality)
Agreed, ye damn fiend - spark up that sea weed!
'Cause tonight we dine in hell and from our mission we're freed!
(Cap D)
I fight dirty, you know I got that scurvy
Kick a barrel at yer head and knock you topsy-turvy
Push your head in the bilge and give you a swirly
Make a dive for the prize, you know I be that nervy
Throw elbows for blows, you know how it goes
I'll kick you in the shin and make you jump with this flow
Some fencers are notorious for being laborious
With their balancing acts they makin' battles victorious
Florentine makes a mean cut on the scene
Slicing all them sailors on the aquamarine
The might and the fitness is a plight you can witness
The sight ends with quickness, a fight skill with sickness
(Admirality)
Bloody, bold, and resolute
The brethren of the coast shoot off a cannon salute
We live free, fight hard and obey only fate
Leave debris, like shards fer yer pieces of eight!
(Cap D)
We're off to sail the burning sea
That's the life for me
We're off to sail the burning sea
Lives of piracy
We're off to sail the burning sea
That's the life for me
(Admirality)
Agreed, ye damn fiend - spark up that sea weed!
'Cause tonight we dine in hell and from our mission we're freed!
