"DEAD RECKONING" 
lyrics by keith 

Hoistin' the sails, fly the blackjack high 
another castle pillaged and we're miles from the shore line 
take it all cuz our comission's spent 

No quarter to scalawags who dare to cross our path 
The clashing sound of cutlasses, a soundtrack to our bloodbath 

Smash em and bash em and stash em in the ward 
call our name out when you're at the mercy of the sword 
take em and leave em in the belly of the ship 
The plank awaits and heavens gate is never gonna let you in 

Give up all you got or else prepare to meet your doom 
We're bastards of the ocean & our father is the full moon 
sent to Earth to terrorize the land 
Raise the block & tackle cuz we're setting sail tonight 
prep the cannon fodder and get ready for a real fight 

Smash em and bash em and stash em in the ward 
call our name out when you're at the mercy of the sword 
take em and leave em in the belly of the ship 
The plank awaits and heavens gate is never gonna let you 
into the caverns and the fathoms of the North 
Shadows in the passage by the dim light of the torch 

DEAD RECKONING, STRAIGHT AHEAD 

Sirens & serpents, I tell no tales 
keep the coal fires burning & steady as she sails 
Drinkin' until our barrel's empty 
our lives in the hands of the perils of the sea 
Nothing can stop us now, we'll hold it down 
until the stars have all burned out 
Before the North Wind burns our wings, 
through the fire we'll pour the whisky as we sing 

DEAD RECKONING, STRAIGHT AHEAD!!!
