Alestorm - Under Blackened Banners lyrics

Five thousand years ago in
The age of dinosaurs
A single voice of chaos spoke in
A tongue not heard before
Heed my words o denizens
Of protoplasmic slime
I wield the pirate scepter
 this wretched world is mine

And from the slime rose up an
Army of the damned black banners in the sky
Prepared for the command

Raise your hook raise your sword
Fight the world and face the horde
We're the brotherhood of pirates
We’re the sisters of the sea
Sailing under blackened banners
Stealing ships and getting hammered
The destiny of piracy belongs to you and me

I am the heart of the conspiracy
A secret forged in mystery
From a time before the
Oceans spanned the globe
Beneath the flag of death I conquer
All those who would defy the storm has come
Black banners fill the sky

Raise your hook raise your sword
Fight the world and face the horde
We're the brotherhood of pirates
We're the sisters of the sea
Sailing under blackened banners
Stealing ships and getting hammered
The destiny of piracy belongs to you and me

We are one we are all
We are never gonna fall
To the end of all eternity
We’ll stand against the law

And now the land lies dead
From centuries of war
The protoplasmic pirate horde will rise
To fight once more

"This moment marks not the end
Of your mortal life
Nor is it the final chapter in your legacy
This is the beginning of
Your transcorporeal existence!"

Raise your hook raise your sword
Fight the world and face the horde
We're the brotherhood of pirates
We're the sisters of the sea
Sailing under blackened banners
Stealing ships and getting hammered
Our history, our legacy
The force that sets the spirit free
The destiny of piracy belongs to you and me
