The port is safe the ale is mild
But that's a life for a settled child
Our truest home is the ocean wild
By shifting stars we are beguiled
The anchor's weighed the sails are filled
A sacred promise to be fulfilled
The salt-stained map shows the way
Heave-ho until the break of day
Let other men just toil and pray
Heave-ho a pirate's life for aye
So let the cannons roar and sing
For the gold and glory that we'll bring
To the horizon we take wing
Upon the sea I am a king
We've fought the krakens in the deep
While wealthy merchants were asleep
We've shared our rum and lost our keep
And secrets that our daggers keep
Through cannon fire and splintered wood
Together is where we have stood
Heave-ho until the break of day
Let other men just toil and pray
Heave-ho a pirate's life for aye
So let the cannons roar and sing
For the gold and glory that we'll bring
To the horizon we take wing
Upon the sea I am a king
They call us thieves they call us brutes
They'll never know these sacred roots
It's not just gold it's not the fame
It is the wild untethered flame
The salt the spray the ocean's breath
Is the only life that conquers death
The salt-stained map shows the way
Heave-ho until the break of day
Let other men just toil and pray
Heave-ho a pirate's life for aye
So let the cannons roar and sing
For the gold and glory that we'll bring
To the horizon we take wing
Upon the sea I am a king
A pirate's life for
A pirate's life for aye
But that's a life for a settled child
Our truest home is the ocean wild
By shifting stars we are beguiled
The anchor's weighed the sails are filled
A sacred promise to be fulfilled
The salt-stained map shows the way
Heave-ho until the break of day
Let other men just toil and pray
Heave-ho a pirate's life for aye
So let the cannons roar and sing
For the gold and glory that we'll bring
To the horizon we take wing
Upon the sea I am a king
We've fought the krakens in the deep
While wealthy merchants were asleep
We've shared our rum and lost our keep
And secrets that our daggers keep
Through cannon fire and splintered wood
Together is where we have stood
Heave-ho until the break of day
Let other men just toil and pray
Heave-ho a pirate's life for aye
So let the cannons roar and sing
For the gold and glory that we'll bring
To the horizon we take wing
Upon the sea I am a king
They call us thieves they call us brutes
They'll never know these sacred roots
It's not just gold it's not the fame
It is the wild untethered flame
The salt the spray the ocean's breath
Is the only life that conquers death
The salt-stained map shows the way
Heave-ho until the break of day
Let other men just toil and pray
Heave-ho a pirate's life for aye
So let the cannons roar and sing
For the gold and glory that we'll bring
To the horizon we take wing
Upon the sea I am a king
A pirate's life for
A pirate's life for aye
