seymoure

(Chorus)
But as the blade went in
He pondered on his sins
And the kind of man he'd been
Yes, it's true
His heart was black as all the crew
But he thought him human too
And as the blade came out
With gore all about
And when heard the final bell
He feared both Heaven and Hell
(end chorus)

You wonder what's in a pirate heart,
What man becomes a corsair?
Is he born under the sea,
Unlike you and me,
And was he born without human terrors
Like you daily bearers
What kind of soul has he?

(chorus)

No Pirate born on any human morn
Will tell you of his dears or his fears
He'll swagger and drink
But the things he'll really think
Are left within his hide, where no one outside hears
But a sailing man wants the things you want
That the world seems to taunt

(chorus)

He has hopes and dreams
Beneath all the schemes
But don't ask him to tell you
He'll thunder and roar
In song his voice will soar
But his longings are a hidden few
So when that final battle
Brings his death rattle
He dies the same as any of you
Remember that while he dives in that
Pool down to Davy's Locker

(chorus)
