They wanted a king...
They created a god...
But gods can be cruel, darling.
And mine never learned to forgive.
A crooked smile and bloodied hands,
I leave my footprints across their lands.
They pray for mercy, I offer none,
I never promised to be the one.
I've watched the righteous sell their souls,
Watched holy men devour the whole.
So tell me why I should play their game,
When every kingdom deserves its flames?
I've got a devil behind my eyes,
A child's laughter and a killer's mind.
They see the sunshine, they see the grin,
They never ask what's buried within.
And you...
You looked beneath the wreckage.
Saw something worth protecting.
But sweetheart, you should know by now...
I don't leave things unfinished.
Kiss the devil wearing a straw hat,
Bow to the king, there's no turning back.
I'll paint the oceans black as sin,
And break the world to keep you within.
I'm the nightmare they couldn't drown,
The smiling bastard who stole the crown.
King of the Pirates, ruler of the damned,
With the whole fucking world in the palm of my hand.
Call me a monster, call me insane,
I'll wear your hatred like a wedding chain.
I'll claim the sea, I'll take what's mine,
The King of the Pirates, crowned in blood and time.
I freed the slaves, then broke the throne,
Made every tyrant fear my name.
But somewhere between the blood and gold,
I became the thing I came to overthrow.
The Marines are hunting, the kings all pray,
The innocent hide when I come their way.
I never claimed that my hands were clean,
I just became what the world made me.
And you still look at me like I'm saved,
Like there's a man beneath this grave.
But I have buried too much inside,
To know the difference between love and pride.
Don't ask me to be gentle...
Don't ask me to be good...
You fell in love with the devil,
And darling, I never said you should.
I'm the nightmare they couldn't drown,
The smiling bastard who stole the crown.
King of the Pirates, ruler of the damned,
With the whole fucking world in the palm of my hand.
Call me a monster, call me insane,
I'll wear your hatred like a wedding chain.
I'll claim the sea, I'll take what's mine,
The King of the Pirates, crowned in blood and time.
You think you know what freedom means?
No chains, no masters, no kings, no dreams?
I used to think that way too...
Until the world put its hands on you.
Now every flag is just another target,
Every throne is another coffin.
I don't want power, I want control,
Because I've seen what happens when I let go.
They wanted a king who would rule the sea.
They got a monster who wanted the world to be free.
But freedom wears a different face,
When the devil holds the key.
And maybe that's the cruelest part...
I can conquer everything,
But I can't command your heart.
I DON'T WANT YOUR THRONE!
I'LL BUILD MY OWN!
THE KING OF THE PIRATES
WILL NEVER BOW!
NO CHAINS!
NO GODS!
NO MERCY FOR THE CROWN!
LET THE RED LINE CRUMBLE!
LET THE OLD WORLD DROWN!
I AM THE STORM!
I AM THE END!
THE KING OF THE PIRATES
WILL NEVER BEND!
Kiss the devil wearing a straw hat,
There's no innocence beneath that.
I've drowned the man I used to be,
And left his ghost beneath the sea.
I'm still the nightmare they couldn't drown,
Still the bastard who burned their crowns.
King of the Pirates, hear my decree,
No one will ever take my freedom from me.
Call me a monster, call me insane,
I'll carry every sin without shame.
But if you leave when the morning comes...
I'll finally know what it means to lose.
They say the sea belongs to no one...
Funny...
I conquered every ocean.
I became the King of the Pirates.
I made the whole world fear my name.
And still couldn't make you stay.
Perhaps...
That is the one thing
Even a monster cannot own.
