Raise the Black Lyrics by Musical Blades

Raise The Black

2017

[Verse 1]
All hands on deck, boys, we've spotted our prize
Wind's at our back, we have the surprise
So run out the guns boys and keep her in sight
We can't run away, there be plunder tonight
[Chorus]
Take up position and push up the speed
Soon there'll be nowhere to hide
Pack in the powder and sharpen your steel
As we come along broadside
Load the cannons for the attack
Now trim the sails mates, no turning back
Take what you can boys, give nothing back
Now hoist the colors and raise the black
[Verse 2]
Fire at will, boys and pour it on strong
Those Spanish bastards will not last long
Make their ship bleed boys, we're staking our claim
Those we let live will carry our name
[Chorus]
Take up position and push up the speed
Soon there'll be nowhere to hide
Pack in the powder and sharpen your steel
As we come along broadside
Load the cannons for the attack
Now trim the sails mates, no turning back
Take what you can boys, give nothing back
Now hoist the colors and raise the black
[Verse 3]
Put all the prisoners way down in the hold
Tie them together and group them tenfold
Let them all ponder upon their defeat
While we gain a ship that we'll add to our fleet
[Chorus]
Take up position and push up the speed
Soon there'll be nowhere to hide
Pack in the powder and sharpen your steel
As we come along broadside
Load the cannons for the attack
Now trim the sails mates, no turning back
Take what you can boys, give nothing back
Now hoist the colors and raise the black
Hoist the colors and raise the black
Hoist the colors
And raise the black
