[Verse 1] I found my name in salt Carved on a splintered mast Boots on the deck at dawn I was born to outlast Black flag, hard grin Gold teeth, storm-scarred skin Every port knows my step Every lock gives in [Pre-Chorus] Raise the cup Hear the crew The sea bends When I move [Chorus] I am the pirate king (king, king) I take the wind it brings (hey) I am the pirate king (king, king) And the waves sing what I mean [Verse 2] Map in my coat pocket Rum stain on my sleeve A dozen bold traitors Couldn’t make me leave Moon on a broken blade Pearls in the captain’s bone I don’t chase the crown I make the tide my throne [Pre-Chorus] Raise the cup Hear the crew The sea bends When I move [Chorus] I am the pirate king (king, king) I take the wind it brings (hey) I am the pirate king (king, king) And the waves sing what I mean [Bridge] Tonight the cannons call Tonight the sea is mine My shadow on the foam A dagger in the brine No chain can hold my hand No lock can hold my name When the dawn cuts blue I still remain [Final Chorus] I am the pirate king (king, king) I take the wind it brings (hey) I am the pirate king (king, king) And the waves sing what I mean I am the pirate king (king, king) Come sail if you believe (I believe) I am the pirate king (king, king) And the storm bows to me
