Letra de 'Blackbeard's Last Stand' de Skull Branded Pirates

November 21 1718
A bounty was placed on the man known as Teach
The bounty was taken but what tale would this be
If I did'nee tell ye how all this came to be

The vanguard company,
Battle bloodied allies
Nobody on the deck
so carry on forth to the Captain's side
The end of an era entwined by his fate
No remorse will be shown
on this knife edge divide

Maynard and Hyde were the enlisted commanders
By Govenor Spotswood of Virginia, Alexander
They captained the ships, The Ranger and Jane
But no cannons were fitted much to their disdain

The Captains arrived in the evening
On the morrow they would strike
Advantage was found as Blackbeard he was drowned
In his liquid spoils of delight

Opposing forces, they played an unfair game
No honour, pride or sacrifice
With nothing left to gain
I unsheath my sword as my pistol takes aim

Sail away, flee they mocked them
Sail away, flee or prepare to die
Sail away, flee they mocked them
We'll take no prisoners

As no prisoners have ever survived

And he was caught unawares
Blackbeard drinking his victories
Then twenty cuts bloody
Blackbeard's last stand

With the ranger in pieces and Captain Hyde dead
Blackbeard he did cross onto Jane's bloody deck
The trap had ensnared and now would unfold
As fifty highlanders did burst from the hold

Out numbered in battle Blackbeard he did duel
As he clashed on the bridge their swords were imbued
With the colour of crimson but still he fought on
Till his last breath of life it was gone, he was gone

And he was caught unawares
Blackbeard drinking his victories
Then twenty cuts bloody
He fell to his knees
