Onwards To explore the seas That no one else ever dared On top of the mast A black flag dances softly with the wind From oak and pine A ship floating on deep dark blue A storm strikes from the north With force my journey to end Towering waves and terrifying winds Strength of two elements combined With a flash of lightning The fear is no more When I sail on a ship With black flag and black sails Journey under boundless skies On a vessel carrying my dreams and hopes Never casting anchor again Until my heart decides to rest Or the endless ocean swallows me No empire can set borders on the endless seas No ruler can tame the wildest storms When riding the waves you choose your own path When all doubt is withdrawn You don't fear the unknown Nor the eternity that lies ahead
