Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
We came sailing through the darkness
With the storm behind our sails
Iron thunder from the cannons
Lightning dancing through the gales
No king can claim these waters
No navy owns the night
We're the wolves beneath the moonlight
Coming for the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
Load the guns up
Raise the flame high
Let the ocean learn our name tonight
[Chorus]
Dead men tell no tales
When the cannon smoke rolls in
Dead men tell no tales
Nowhere left to run or swim
Black flags tearing through the gale
Wood and steel are bound to fail
Dead men tell no tales
Let the battle begin
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Fire in the night
Oh-oh-oh
Nobody survives
[Verse 2]
Across the water came their vessel
Blackened hull and crimson sails
Thought they'd come to take our fortune
Didn't know our wicked trails
First shot split the dark horizon
Second shook the timbered sea
Then their mast came crashing downward
And they came screaming after me
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear them roar out
Hear them cry loud
Raise the guns and fire proud
[Chorus]
Dead men tell no tales
When the cannon smoke rolls in
Dead men tell no tales
Nowhere left to run or swim
Black flags tearing through the gale
Wood and steel are bound to fail
Dead men tell no tales
Let the battle begin
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Fire in the night
Oh-oh-oh
Nobody survives
[Bridge]
The sea remembers every name
Every oath and every lie
Every captain chasing glory
Every sailor left to die
No bell will mark the final hour
No stone will bear the name
The ocean takes what it is owed
And never gives it back again
[Breakdown]
Fire
Cannons roar
Fire
Give them more
Fire
Let the black smoke rise
Dead men tell no tales
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Dead men tell no tales
Let the whole damn ocean hear
Dead men tell no tales
Born to face the fear
Black flags flying through the storm
Hear the battle drums transform
Dead men tell no tales
We sail through hell tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
Fire in the night
Oh-oh-oh
Nobody survives
Oh-oh-oh
Sailing through the flames
Oh-oh-oh
No one knows our names
