Hoist The Colours Lyrics

Hans Zimmer Hoist The Colours

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones
the seas be ours and by the powers
where we will we'll roam

yo ho
all hands
hoist the colours high
heave ho
theives and beggers
never shall we die

some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
with keys to the cage
and the devil to pray
we lay to Fiddler's green

the bell has been raised
from its watery grave
do you hear it sepulchral tone
a call for all
pay heed the squall
and turn your sail twards home

yo ho
all haul together
hoist the colour high
heave ho
theives and beggers
never shall we die
