Five thousand years ago in the age of dinosaurs
   Eb                               F                  Dm
A single voice of chaos spoke in a tongue not heard before

Heed my words o denizens of protoplasmic slime
   Eb                             F              Dm
I wield the pirate scepter, this wretched world is mine

Sailing under blackened banners

The destiny of piracy

Belongs to you and me
