We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong
We bend before only God Himself, As on the seas we roam
The sea we mix with Spanish blood within the salty foam

We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong

We're men of courage, men of strength, some are women too
We praise the strength of our backs, while hurricane winds blew
We hunt the ocean over, to make our fortune in silver and gold
This is the only creed we live by, "Fortune Favors the Bold"

We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong

We have burned great cities, defiled the alters of great kings
We have given chase to treasures, with sails spread like wings
We have punished tyrants, in loss, blood and sweat and pain
We Rule the Seven Seas, and prowl the Raging Spanish Main

We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong

This era belongs to our brothers, pyrates one and all
We will be immortal, even when the reaper calls
We may dance a hempen jig, but even then we'll still be alive
For memories in those we left behind will ensure that we survive

We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong

"A Merry Life and a Short One" Toasts Olde Black Bart
Even while we're dead and gone, what's left can't be torn apart
All those who'd seek to be free will remember our path
Lest the loss of our legend, breeds Freedom's Wrath

We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong
We are the Lords of Fortune,  The Ocean will always be Home
We are the Lord's of Fortune, Forever in Glory We'll Roam
We are the Lords of Fortune, The devil take the dawn
We make our life on the sea, on galleons fast and strong
Inspired by this song, www.youtube.com/watch?v=466u2P… had an awesome tune to it, and is how I imagine this sounds, but with my lyrics.  you should totally check out the band btw, they are called 'Empty Hats' and are AWESOME.
