Lyrics Pirate´s Life - Saltatio Mortis

Pirate´s Life

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
