Tale of a Pirate

On a ship showing a skull and crossbones A brutal pirate decides on whom he shall prey The years have not been easy for ships in these waters For the pirates take no prisoners Gold and silver is what those rogues want and they get them through fear and sharp swords So take care when you pass into waters where pirates hold sway For they are merciless and strong They have no sense or concern for the sanctity of human life
