Brotherhood of the
BLACK FLAG

Talon March

by L. Shelby

Boots on, head high
Mess with me and you will die
Pirate born, pirate bred
Trained to pillage and raid
Swash my stock and trade:
Swagger, blaster and blade.

I pledged my life to a flag of black
I don't give in, I won't fall back
I'll bash and bellow and slash and hack
But never a trust I betrayed

Born to swagger with gun and blade
But never a trust I betrayed

Boots on, head high
Mess with me and you will die
Trained to stand, born to fight
To stubborn to ever give in
Doomed to sail the night
Blood and honor and sin.

My people named me a traitor vile,
Condemned to death, without a trial
And here's the protest I'd like to file
That never a trust I betrayed

The cards they dealt were the cards I played
And never a trust I betrayed

Boots on, head high
Mess with me and you will die
Pirate born, pirate bred
Trained to pillage and raid
Swash my stock and trade:
Swagger, blaster and blade.

I'm fast and furious, I'm sharp and bright
I'm hard to kill, and death to fight
But fear me not if your cause is right
For never a trust I betrayed

I've waltzed with death and the price I've paid
But never a trust I betrayed
