Black Bart Lyrics


Born in Wales, becoming a mate

1719 the year of his fate

His ship is seized, "Davis" is on

Becoming a pirate, his past is gone

Relentless in fight,

the crew's hold and guiding light

Bravery's first

and the trading ship is cursed

Black Bart at war with the world

Black Heart, embracing the curse

He's riding the wind or the edge of the storm

The storm before the calm

Black Bart

When Davis dies he is the man,

"Roberts" the captain, lord of the clan

"Royal fortune" becoming his pride,

"Nomen est omen" superior in fight

Relentless in fight,

the crew's hold and guiding light

Bravery's first

and the trading ship is cursed

Black Bart at war with the world

Black Heart, embracing the curse

He's riding the wind or the edge of the storm

The storm before the calm

Black Bart

On "Cape Lopez" the "Swallow" is near,

hangover in blood, setting the gear

The mariner fights, firing a round,

"Roberts" is dead, finally drowned

Relentless in fight,

the crew's hold and guiding light

Bravery's first

and the trading ship is cursed

Black Bart at war with the world

Black Heart, embracing the curse

He's riding the wind or the edge of the storm

The storm before the calm

Black Bart
