Epic Pirate Legend

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Wrote a song so long ago, Cast it out to sea. Made a fire way down below, Watched it come to be. [Verse 2 - Higher Pitch] All the embers come to life, Dancing in the breeze. All this hardship causes strife, Brings me to my knees. [Chorus] But I stand up, And I go forth, Knowing every step I take. Is one towards, A future for, Me when I come home. [Drop] [Verse 3] Fire away the cannon balls, Sound so deafening. Shrieking of the arrows calls, Me to reckoning. [Verse 4 - High Pitch] Wood splinters pierce the air, Water rushing past. No win, glory, or fanfare, This battle, our last. [Chorus] But I stand up, And I go forth, Knowing every step I take. Is one towards, A future for, Me when I come home. [Drop] [Bridge] Detonation. Night turns to day. Holy damnation. Us sinners pay. [Bridge] Detonation. Night turns to day. Holy damnation. Us sinners pay. [Chorus] But I stand up, And I go forth, Knowing every step I take. Is one towards, A future for, Me when I come home. [Verse 5] The salty spray fills my lungs, Floating among ghosts. The Reaper's bells, I hear rung, The Devil's gateposts. [Verse 6 - High Pitch] A death of pride and glory, Stories of my feats. But I am gravely sorry, I leave empty seats. [Outro - Getting Quieter] Fading. Fading. Fading. Fading. Out. [Hold the note]
