[Verse 1]
In dark, dark days and a long time ago
They knew my name on every shore
I've cut the throats of a thousand men
And I wish I had cut more
Well, the king's men crossed me on dry land
Sent to the gallows by the crown's command
Fight like a man and you'll hang like a dog
May all their souls be damned

[Chorus]
Jet black sails over seven seas
Death on the wind of a westward breeze
Red sky morning whispers a warning
Dead girls tell no tales

[Verse 2]
Well, there’s a ghost ship comin' for your broken mind
(The depths drag up our song!)
For the thirsty men we'll be their end
(We know it won’t take long)
Well, we sail and we sail from coast to coast
Just searching for some truth
We burn each port, a black-hearted sort
Best hope it never happens to you!
[Chorus]
Jet black sails over seven seas
Death on the wind of a westward breeze
Red sky morning whispers a warning
Dead girls tell no tales

[Bridge]
Black cloud arising
Way hey away
Way hey away
Black cloud arising
(Raise hell! Raise up the sail!)
Way hey away
Way hey away
(Raise hell! Raise up the sail!)
(Raise hell! Raise up the sail!)

[Chorus]
Jet black sails over seven seas
Death on the wind of a westward breeze
Red sky morning whispers a warning
Dead girls tell no tales

[Outro]
Jet black sails over seven seas
Death on the wind of a westward breeze
Red sky morning whispers a warning
Dead girls tell no tales
Dead girls tell no tales
Dead girls tell no tales!
