Riding the tempests of glory The vessel is gliding along Pounding the waves, majestically Proudly and strong A flag flutters on the horizon The plunder ready-to-hand The gunners are ready to fire Awaiting command Pounding the sea, like a storm Wild and free Obeying our call, fast and raw The air sparks thunder and lightning Their bellies are shivered with fear We showered their cold hearted souls With sarcastic sneer Our cohorts are for seizing The skull and the crossbones fly high We're talking over your vessel Whatever you try Pounding the sea, like a storm Wild and free Obeying our call, fast and raw Lead or gold, we're daring our fate On the wings of the sea Lead or gold, cursing all the Conformists who'll never be free Guns spitting iron and fire Acid smoke clouding the air Ripping the planks Feeding the flame of despair Hoisting the flag of surrender Delivering their silver and gold A generous gift to the poor For the brothers they sold Pounding the sea, like a storm Wild and free Obeying our call, fast and raw Lead or gold, we're daring our fate On the wings of the sea Lead or gold, cursing all the Conformists who'll never be free
