Hoist The Colours (Excision & Sullivan King Remix)

The king and his men

Stole the queen from her bed

And bound her in her bones

The seas be ours

And by the powers

Where we will, we'll roam

Yo, ho, all together

Hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Yo, ho, haul together

Hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Some men have died

And some are alive

And others sail on the sea

– With the keys to the cage...

And the Devil to pay

We lay to Fiddler's Green!

The bell has been raised

From it's watery grave...

Do you hear it's sepulchral tone?

We are a call to all

Pay heed the squall

And turn your sail toward home!

Yo, ho, all together

Hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die!
