The Pirate's Lament

[Verse]
In the taverns where the wild winds call
Sailors whisper of an ancient brawl
Creaking boards and shattered dreams
Searching for gold in the ocean's streams
[Verse 2]
On the high seas where the albatross glides
We chased storms across the moonlit tides
With a compass broken and sails unwound
Lost in the brine where legends are found
[Chorus]
Raise your rum
And clink your steel
Sing the tales of iron and keel
Through tempest
Treason
And fate's cruel dart
The sea's cold whisper stains the heart
[Bridge]
The kraken's roar and the sirens' song
Echoed through nights painfully long
With maps uncharted
We pressed ahead
Ghosts of captains long since dead
[Verse 3]
In every port
In every bay
The song of freedom led us astray
From the cursed isles to the mermaid's tear
We searched for treasure
Year after year
[Chorus]
Raise your rum
And clink your steel
Sing the tales of iron and keel
Through tempest
Treason
And fate's cruel dart
The sea's cold whisper stains the heart
