Break the Tide (Friday Smooth Criminal Challenge)

Intro

Break the rules! Break the tide!

Captain Scurvy, side by side!

Raise the black! Light the sky!

Live free 'til the day we die!

Verse 1

They built their walls, they drew their lines

Said, "Stay in place and fall in line"

We laughed out loud, untied the ropes

Chasing freedom, chasing hope

The wind don't bow, the sea don't kneel

You can't cage what the waves can feel

We're writing legends where maps run dry

With the moon above and the gulls on high

Pre-Chorus

No permission

No retreat

Hear the thunder underneath our feet

One more wave

One more ride

Freedom's calling with the tide

Chorus

Break the rules! Break the tide!

Captain Scurvy's on the rise!

Hey! Hey! Raise 'em high!

No one's stealing our blue skies!

Yo-ho! Sing it loud!

Stand together, proud and wild!

If they say, "You can't," we smile

We're making our own path mile by mile

Verse 2

No king owns the open sea

No chain can hold a heart that's free

We'll chase the dawn beyond the foam

Every horizon feels like home

When the storm comes crashing down

We wear the lightning like a crown

Every wave becomes our stage

Every voyage turns the page

Bridge

Let 'em talk

Let 'em stare

We'll leave our story everywhere

The sea remembers every name

That dared to challenge yesterday

Chorus

Break the rules! Break the tide!

Captain Scurvy leads the ride!

Black flags dancing in the breeze

Wild hearts carried by the seas!

Yo-ho! Voices high!

Let our anthem fill the sky!

No fear, no chains, no compromise

Captain Scurvy never falls in line!

Outro

Break the rules! Break the tide!

Raise your voices far and wide!

Captain Scurvy! Hear our cry!

Free as the sea until we die!
