Lyrics
"Gold and glory on the ocean's tide—
Black Sam sails where shadows collide."
A poor man born with dreams of gold
Sam Bellamy defied the cold
The sea was cruel; the crown was blind—
He took his fate; he left behind
With velvet bow and iron blade
He carved his name where legends fade
The Whydah Gally was his prize—
A ship of gold beneath dark skies
Through storm and fire, his shadow grew—
The sea would claim what he once knew
Black Sam sails! The tide won't wait!
A pirate king defying fate!
Through wealth and love, his heart was torn—
The sea will take what pride has sworn
From merchant decks to royal fleets
He struck them down; he knew no defeat
But gold meant little to his soul—
For love had made his spirit whole
To Maria's arms he turned his course
To reunite with passion's force
But Neptune rose with vengeful might—
A storm would end his final fight
The waves grew high; the winds did scream—
The Whydah broke like a shattered dream
Black Sam sails! The tide won't wait!
A pirate king defying fate!
Through wealth and love, his heart was torn—
The sea will take what pride has sworn
"The sea takes all—it spares no name
Gold or love—it's all the same."
Now silence reigns where the wreckage lies
The Whydah sleeps beneath gray skies
But whispers rise from ocean graves—
A pirate king who dared the waves
For every coin that glints below
His name is sung where trade winds blow
A fleeting flame—a daring fight—
Black Sam sails on through endless night
Black Sam sails! The tide won't wait!
A pirate king defying fate!
Through wealth and love, his heart was torn—
The sea will take what pride has sworn
Black Sam sails! His spirit flies!
A ghostly king beneath dark skies!
"The sea remembers... it never forgives..."
