Bloodrage in his veins like a furious squall in the open sea
Gaze of fire threw embers burning bright wherever he laid his eyes
They say his heart stopped beating on board the mighty ship the Neptune
Grim flag of Vane was overthrew and a new king’s banner raised
New king of the seas rose high into the sky black eyes of fear
Sunken in the white skull wrapped in the colours of the night
A pair of cutlasses below the evil sneer that mocked the world
Before which thousand enemies as well as friends with terror bowed
Wrapped in the colours of the night
Rose high into the sky
Lend an ear to the words
Lend an ear to the words of scorn
Lend an ear to the words of scorn spoken by the beloved one Spoken by Anne, the beloved one
Mother of his son
Last words of disdain heard from above the gallows pole
You need not have hanged like a dog!
Most feared than the Storm
Drifter unstoppable
Bearer of the Roger
Faster than the sails of Fate And now all that is left of his deeds
Hovers the waves of a small cay And they were cursed from the Roger itself
Tormenting for centuries the seas once their
That beside his master once He plowed
Those proud colours that never dropped low Thou who sail under the mark of black
Where will you go when the tide rises higher
Where will you stand when the wind blows wilder
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Thou who smile in the face of death
Lonesome vagrant in an endless chase
Come along matey, we’re all bound away
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Thou who sail under the mark of black
Where will you go when the tide rises higher
Where will you stand when the wind blows wilder
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Thou who smile in the face of death
Lonesome vagrant in an endless chase
Come along matey, we’re all bound away
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! —CHOIR:
Under the Flag
Under the Flag
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Under the Flag
Under the Flag
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Under the Flag
Under the Flag
Under the Flag of Calico Jack! Under the Flag
Under the Flag
Under the Flag of Calico Jack!
