Dead men tell no tales

Verse 1

Salt

Biting at the bow

Iron heavy in the hollow hold

Rope burns red

Cold

Crows nest high

Watch the horizon bleed

Black flag biting the gale

Empty gullets

Chorus

Ye be warned

The tide is turning black

The tide is turning black

Ye be warned

There is no sailing back

No sailing back

Dead men tell no tales

Dead men tell no tales

Verse 2

Gold

Glittering like glass

Silver sinking in the sandy silt

Cutlass swings

Sharpened

Sharks below

Waiting for the weeping water

Grog in the gut

Splinters

Swallow the sea

Swallow the salt

Swallow the storm

Chorus

Ye be warned

The tide is turning black

The tide is turning black

Ye be warned

There is no sailing back

No sailing back

Dead men tell no tales

Dead men tell no tales

Bridge

Plank beneath your boots

Deep beneath the blue

Darkness in the depths

I saw the reef

I saw the wreck

I saw the ruin

Down you go

Down you go

Down you go

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Ye be warned

The tide is turning black

The tide is turning black

Ye be warned

There is no sailing back

No sailing back

Dead men tell no tales

Dead men tell no tales

Outro

Watch the water rise

Rising

Rising

Over the mast

Over the bone

Gone

Gone
