. The sails, the wind the deep blue sea... Life untethered is the life for me-- War is brutal upon the raging swells the clashing sword and cannonball... we pray against a bitter wind the tattered sails, they rise and fall... Rare to touch the earth below our feet to always heed the sirens call... The smell of death on salty air their final dance in this aquatic realm... Liquid dreamers hoard their take while whiskey eyed captains clench their helm... Sailing through the Isle of Whyte shattering its' mirrored waters... taking all the gold we can find to raise our sails and daughters... The goblets of gold we raise each night are toasts to leaving Rome... We'll make new trails across old wakes, we'll crash through seas of foam... You can take pirates off the sea but it will always be their home...
A pirate ballad I wrote December 22nd, 2009 on my daughter's birthday.
