Verse 1

We set to sea,

1718.

The gallows are waiting,

For the menace of the sea.

Dressed in black,

Six pistols cross his chest.

The captain of "Adventure",

Flaunts his Pirate's crest.

And we chant,

Chorus 1

Edward Teach must die!

Edward Teach must die!

Verse 2

At light we strike,

And raise the Union Jack.

Tempt them to board,

Into a silent trap.

Face to face,

His pistol to my head,

But his flesh they ravage,

And the devil falls dead.

As they chant,

Chorus 2

Edward Teach must die.

Edward Teach must die!

Solo

Bridge

Post his skull at the fork of the river.

To the others "Beware!".

Fashion it into a bowl of silver.

Drink from it if you dare.

Chorus 3

Edward Teach is dead.

Edward Teach is dead.
