Swab the poop deck clean
Hoist the sails and scrape the hull
Romancing the seaMonths upon the waves
Land and women forgotten
Cabin boys bewareStowaways revealed
Passengers must pay full fare
Sharks pick up the tabThe Jolly Roger’s
rictus grin beckons you join
brotherhood regretsShiver me timbers
cannonade’s volley strikes true
flotsam my altarFire burns the water
bright, the mast, a candle dies
moonlight shimmers coldFathomless graveyard
wreck-strewn, riches lost, now what?
Final adventure
