Blackwater Oath

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Moon on the rigging Salt in my hair Gold in the barrel Danger in the air I hear the water Calling my name One hand on the wheel One hand on the flame [Pre-Chorus] We were born for the fight Born for the run Out on the black waves Under the gun If the tide takes me I won't beg I'll set my heart Like a flag on a wreck [Chorus] Hoist it high, hoist it high Blackwater oath Hoist it high, hoist it high We'll never go home If the sea wants a king Let it come and take its shot Hoist it high, hoist it high We'll sail what we've got [Verse 2] Drums in the distance Boots on the deck A cutlass shining At the edge of a threat You want my treasure You want my pride You can chase my shadow But you can't own the tide [Pre-Chorus] We were born for the fight Born for the run Out on the black waves Under the gun If the tide takes me I won't beg I'll set my heart Like a flag on a wreck [Chorus] Hoist it high, hoist it high Blackwater oath Hoist it high, hoist it high We'll never go home If the sea wants a king Let it come and take its shot Hoist it high, hoist it high We'll sail what we've got [Bridge] Hold the line Hold the line When the thunder cracks And the planks split wide I got your back You got mine Till the stars go dull And the waves unwind [Final Chorus] Hoist it high, hoist it high Blackwater oath Hoist it high, hoist it high We'll never go home If the sea wants a king Let it come and take its shot Hoist it high, hoist it high We'll sail what we've got (ah-oh) (Hoist it high) (ah-oh) (Blackwater oath)
