[ZeroOST] Raise the Black Sail

You bunch of useless deck rats, what are you standing around for? Get to your stations. We’ve got a treasure to steal… and a tide that won’t wait. The tide is high and the night is blind, Salt on our lips and fire in mind, Steel on our belts, scars on our hands, We live by the sea, not laws of the land. The compass shakes, the lanterns sway, Every wrong turn brought us here today, If fate is hunting, let her try, We’ve been running since the day we were born. Hear the hull cry under breaking strain, Every man here knows the cost of gain. Raise the black sail, let the ocean know, We take what we want, then we go, then we go, With the wind at our backs and the guns below, We stand together or we sink below. Raise the black sail, no turning back, Gold in our sights and blood on the track, If we’re bound for the deep when the daylight cracks, We’ll meet it singing, shoulder to shoulder. Maps are lies and promises rot, Every deal ends with a bloody knot, Ports all blur into smoke and flame, Different shores but the same old game. Hear the call when the cannons speak, Wood and iron and the sound of defeat, If my name’s lost to the rolling tide, Let it be said I stood my ground. Let the navy hunt, let the gallows wait, We choose the storm, not a quieter fate. Raise the black sail, let the ocean know, We take what we want, then we go, then we go, With the wind at our backs and the guns below, We stand together or we sink below. Raise the black sail, no turning back, Gold in our sights and blood on the track, If we’re bound for the deep when the daylight cracks, We’ll meet it singing, shoulder to shoulder. Stamp the deck, feel the world give way, Every step brings judgment closer today, No prayers left and no flags to fly, Just iron wills and an open sky. If this is the night the sea takes her due, She’ll take us whole—every last crew. Raise the black sail, let the horizon burn, For every lesson we refused to learn, When the compass breaks and the tables turn, We hold the line and we never run. Raise the black sail, hear the ocean cry, We were never meant for quieter lives, If legends sink when the brave men die, Let the waves remember our names. The tide comes in. The lights go out. No kings. No chains. Only the sea.
