Skull And Crossbones Lyrics - Stormwitch

Caribbean sunrise 

on the sea lighting rays 

on the red horizon 

ships appear with sails that seem to blaze 

forty fearless outlaws 

always ready to fight 

they want gold and women 

and a bottle of Jamaican rum each night 

Try, try to flee 

when you see 

the flag of terror flying over you 

Peaked grapnels crash 

through your ship 

they attack out of the blue 

Skull and crossbones, blood in sight 

burning sails light up the night 

skull and crossbones, piracy 

they're the tigers of the sea 

Greed for pearls and diamonds 

they are hellbent for gold 

their notorious symbol 

makes every decent sailors'blool run cold 

like the mighty eagle 

diving down on the lamb 

pirates don't give mercy 

when they fight and get the upper hand 

Cold, blood-stained steel 

can you feel 

the boarding-axe being pressed against your chest 

don't hesitate 

fight don't wait 

'till the bogy seals your fate 

Skull and crossbones...
