A pirate's life is ill-fated,
But his yearning keeps him seeking further
For adventure wherever he travels,
Be it on land or on the high seas
He'll lust for more;
As there's treasure to be hunted & found,
There's deadly risks to be taken,
But it's not a problem for a tough, old pirate,
Who has weathered many a storm in his own life,
He's won enough battles to tempt him to go on
To risk his life again tomorrow,
For the freedom that he has earned.
