00:00Some of them laugh, nail a flag, dark as the grave
00:05Death it bears, sweeps over the wave
00:08Declared for action, done to be prepared
00:11The boarding axe sharpened, the devil's sword bared
00:14Set the canisters ready, bring to me
00:17For the last of my duties, the powder room key
00:30It shall never be lowered, the black flag we bear
00:37The sea denied us, we sweep through the air
00:41Unshared last victories pray
00:44It is mine to divide, it yours to obey
00:47There are shoals that might suit a sultana's wet neck
00:50And pearls that are fair as the arms they will deck
00:54Thus we conceal them, the air will disclose
00:57Diamantes, fair summers, the whole of the rose
01:01Claim not abortion, my asthma is mine
01:04Drink to our victory, the devil's wine
01:14To the mass, nail a flag, dark as the grave
01:17Death it bears, sweeps over the wave
01:20Declared for action, done to be prepared
01:24The boarding axe sharpened, the devil's sword bared
01:27Set the canisters ready, bring to me
01:30For the last of my duties, the powder room key
01:41Some fight for riches, some fight for fame
01:44The first I despise, the last is a name
01:47Fight for vengeance, I love to see flow
01:50At the stroke of my saber, the life of my foe
01:53To the mass, nail a flag, dark as the grave
01:56Death it bears, sweeps over the wave
02:00Declared for action, done to be prepared
02:03The boarding axe sharpened, the devil's sword bared
02:06Set the canisters ready, bring to me
02:09For the last of my duties, the powder room key
02:24Strike for the memory, long vanished years
02:28I only shed blood, another sheds tears
02:32Come as the lightning, come red from above
02:35Over the race that I loathe, the battle I love
02:38To the mass, nail a flag, dark as the grave
02:42Death it bears, sweeps over the wave
02:45Declared for action, done to be prepared
02:48The boarding axe sharpened, the devil's sword bared
02:51Set the canisters ready, bring to me
02:54For the last of my duties, the powder room key
