Black Sails and Fire

[Verse 1] Black sails cutting through the morning fog, Old map folded in my coat. Salt on my tongue, and the sky looks bruised, But the fire in my chest still glows. We left the shore with a broken vow, And a dream no king could own. Now the waves keep time with my beating heart, And the sea calls me back home. [Chorus] Yo ho, hold fast, we’re chasing the light, With a storm at our backs and the stars in sight. Through the dark, we sing, we steal the night, 'Cause a pirate’s soul was born to fight. Yo ho, hold fast, we won’t let go, Till the whole wide world knows our name. Raise the flag, let the wild winds blow, We’re alive in the fire and the flame. [Verse 2] Lanterns swing on a moonlit deck, Bootsteps loud on the planks. Every scar on my hands tells a story, Every cut is a line in the sand. I’ve seen gold fade in a greedy hand, And fear turn brave men cold. So I’d rather lose it all at sea Than trade my heart for gold. [Chorus] Yo ho, hold fast, we’re chasing the light, With a storm at our backs and the stars in sight. Through the dark, we sing, we steal the night, 'Cause a pirate’s soul was born to fight. Yo ho, hold fast, we won’t let go, Till the whole wide world knows our name. Raise the flag, let the wild winds blow, We’re alive in the fire and the flame. [Bridge] When the thunder rolls and the mast breaks free, I’ll stand where the lightning falls. If this ship goes down, I won’t go quiet, I’ll shout our name to the walls. [Final Chorus] Yo ho, hold fast, we’re chasing the light, With a storm at our backs and the stars in sight. Through the dark, we sing, we steal the night, 'Cause a pirate’s soul was born to fight. Yo ho, hold fast, we won’t let go, Till the whole wide world knows our name. Raise the flag, let the wild winds blow, We’re alive in the fire and the flame.
