Tigers Of The Sea Lyrics - Singles - Stormwitch

Message from the masthead: "Spanish galleon, straight ahead!" 

Up the shrouds, hoist all the canvas 

It is worth the plunder, coming from down under 

Filled with spicery and treasures 

Out on the sea, the power is ours 

Spitting on order and law of the king 

Banished we are, outlawed forever 

We never care what tomorrow may bring 

Tigers of the sea, chasing the gold of her Royal Majesty 

Tigers of the sea, sentenced to death at the black gallows tree 

All men to the cannons, let them shiver, make them dance 

Casks of ruin for everyone, let's go 

When the rigging's falling, boarding party's crawling 

Up the rail, we will prevail 

We never know the habits and fashion 

Of England's and Netherland's nobility 

We only know the king is no poor man 

A few diamonds less won't make him weep 

Tigers of the sea . . . 

Gentry, take care of your jewelry 

Sire, beware of the tiger 

Black pyre, sails on fire 

Tigers of the sea . . .
