Текст пісні
"Step to the gallows, hear the creak of the rope—
The pirate's end, where shadows choke!"
The crowd has gathered to see us fall
The hangman waits by the weathered wall
With chains that rattle and boots that drag
We march to death beneath the flag
But fear won't claim this wretched crew
We'll laugh as we bid this world adieu
A toast to the devil with a grin so wide—
We'll dance in death with pirate pride!
The noose is tight, our time is thin—
Let the final jig begin!
Dance the hempen jig tonight!
Swing to shadows in pale moonlight!
Raise your voice and sing your sin—
The gallows call; let death begin!
The rope bites deep as the crowd looks on
Our breath grows short, but we sing our song
No priest will save this damned brigade—
We'll face our fate with no charade
For every ship that we set aflame
For every port that cursed our name—
This is our end, but we'll never bow
The pirate's life is over now!
The trapdoor creaks; the crowd leans in—
Let the final jig begin!
Dance the hempen jig tonight!
Swing to shadows in pale moonlight!
Raise your voice and sing your sin—
The gallows call; let death begin!
Now silence falls as we take our place
The hangman's shadow hides his face
But even in death, we'll have our say—
Our laughter echoes beyond the grave
The sea still calls though we hang in air
Our spirits rise where mortals dare
Forever cursed to haunt the tide—
A ghostly crew that never died!
Dance the hempen jig tonight!
Swing to shadows in pale moonlight!
Raise your voice and sing your sin—
The gallows call; let death begin!
Dance the hempen jig once more!
Feel the rope as it burns and soars!
Raise your voice to the devil's hymn—
The gallows laugh; let death begin!
"The noose swings high... where pirates die..."
