Iron and Blood

Raise the sails and ready to board

Sharpen your blade and guard the hoard

Warriors true but profit supreme

We are the oceans' honorable thieves

The flag we fly is feared by all

The symbol of freedom for those with the balls

We take what we need and sink what we don't

We have what we want and keep it afloat

Soldiers of fortune out on the seas

Sailors by nature wild and free

We left home broke and came back loaded

Mysterious mariners but unquestioned motives

We are the pirates and privateers

Fueled by waves and landlubbers' tears

Professional thieves with unleashed tongues

We signed our lives to freedom and fun

With iron and blood and smoke and guns

We sail the seas 'til our time is done

Be it by blade or be it by fire

We feel most alive when things become dire

We live on the edge of the wind and the waves

As most of our 'friends' see us as knaves

You know you can't stop the currents and tides

So one might as well learn how to ride

Should you decide to answer the call

You won't find your answer deep in those halls

Find a ship and find your crew

And pray to your gods that we don't find you
