Pirate's Litany

Starlight
Starbright
Radiance in the shadows.

Starlight
Starbright
Shining high above the gallows

Starlight
Starbright
Guide our men at sea

Starlight
Starbright
Bring them on to safety

Starlight
Starbright
Across the seven seas
Forever shining upon their sails,
Longboat in tow, sword in hand
Valiant at arms upon the rails.
Each man a brother in this band,
All willing to die with a word
Hanging heavy upon their lips.

-----Pirate-----
