Caves Lyrics

Through droughts of heat and winter's cold

A beast that won't die is lust for gold

These walls tell tales of woe and dread

Of scheming betrayal and bitter dead

All for the jewels that he craves

His men searched for a cave

To keep safe everything he could not save

Death row your boat into the sirens' singing

with my perilous pearls and my diamonds gleaming

Heave-Ho and dig if it takes all night

And none of you are leaving here without a fight

Death row your boat into the sirens' singing

with my perilous pearls and my diamonds gleaming

Heave-Ho and dig if it takes all night

And none of you are leaving here without a fight

No you're not leaving, no you're not leaving without a fight

The world is an oyster, everything is free

Gonna take what I can, everything I see

It's a pirate's life for me, on the open sea

And if anybody tries to stop me I'll slash at him with glee

Now's my chance to dash, I bid ye dogs farewell

Keep my booty company when I blow these walls to hell!

And the worms will turn your corpses into skeletons in time

And all that you're buried with will be all mine

All mine, all mine, all mine, 'til the end of time

Sinking in the sand, my time is coming swift

I doubt, in this moment, anyone even knows that I exist

And in a hundred years a lucky tourist or so

Will happen upon my lonely bones

And in another hundred years archaeologists and such

Will uncover the tomb and the gold and the jewels,

Riches I'd had for all of those years, but I could never touch
