00:00Avast me hearties, gather on the deck
00:02We'll sing of a tale that'll make you wreck
00:05Down among the dead men where shadows grow
00:08In Davy Jones' locker down below
00:11Ghost ships sail with the ghostly crew
00:18With tattered sails and the haunting view
00:22Lost souls wander no light to find
00:24As the briny deep drags it behind
00:26Oh, Davy Jones sits on his throne
00:30Ruling the depths where lost souls moan
00:33Forever we're trapped in this water we crave
00:36With dead man's treasure and the lives we crave
00:39Cold blooms glitter beneath the tide
00:47But no hand can reach them, but there's no guide
00:50Ghostly whispers in the cold night air
00:53Of sunken riches but none to share
00:55The weeds they carry our oxblood cries
00:58In the land of the dead where hope slowly dies
01:01The Davy Jones sits on his throne
01:04Ruling the depths where lost souls moan
01:07Forever we're trapped in this watery grave
01:10With dead man's treasure and our lives we crave
01:13Ghost storms we sailed, our fate was sealed
01:26In the quip of the sea, our doom revealed
01:29With every rum and every toast
01:32We cursed the tides, yet we raised a ghost
01:35So lift your checkers, let the stories flow
01:38A ghost ship sailing in the moonlit moon
01:40Oh, Davy Jones sits on his throne
01:46Ruling the depths where lost souls moan
01:49Forever we're trapped in this watery grave
01:52With dead man's treasure and the lives we crave
01:55Go through a blue glitter beneath the tide
02:03But no hand can reach them, but there's no guide
02:06Ghostly whispers in the cold night air
02:09Of sunken riches but none to share
02:12In the lives we crave
02:14Through storms we sailed, our fate was sealed
02:21In the quip of the sea, our doom revealed
02:24With every rum and every toast
02:27We cursed the tides, yet we raised a ghost
02:30Through storms we sailed, our fate was sealed
02:33In the quip of the sea, our doom revealed
02:36In the quip of the dead where hope slowly dies
02:39In the land of the dead where hope slowly dies
