Man The Cannons

The bounty retrievers are coming
With a treaty coalition of sixteen ships
The time it has come, my task is set
To discipline the crew with a crack of the whip
The cannons are ready, the hatches are raised
And as dusk now approaches the storm brings the rain
It’s lashing in sheets, but the ship’s lantern glows
Through the heart of the storm let that iron titan blow

Powder keg and monkey, see to it that nothing stops the lead
A broadside lash of chain shot takes the mizzenmast and severs heads
I unleash a battle cry
And I unleash the fury kept inside

The tide of battle turns
In unison the fuses burn
No quarter will be given
Man the cannons

Four of the vessels are sinking
And the bodies in the water number fourscore dead.
And three of the men are smashed in sacks
Of broken bones and fractured heads
Brains splatter the deck and a crimson rain doth fall
United we will stand as one
United we will heed the call

The tide of battle turns
In unison the fuses burn
No quarter will be given
Man the cannons
And as the captains call retreat
We set the charges, blow the fleet
To neptune they were given, man the cannons!
