Burning Sea - Lyrics - Captain Dan And The Scurvy Crew

(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 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!
