Avast ye pirates and black-hearted sea dogs Many a man has been summoned by the lore of the deep And many a man has met his death beneath the dark waters of the endless abyss For the sea is a cruel mistress And what she claims she holds on to forever
Mariners tell tale of phantom ships Who's ghostly captain and crew have been cursed to wander the mist shrowded waves for all eternity Other tales tell of sea-monsters and sirens, sunken cities and ancient maps that lead to uncharted islands where treasure beyond most men's wildest dreams lays buried
But these are merely stories, and the truth may never be told For such secrets are known only to the phantoms of the high seas And dead men tell no tales Yo-ho
