Lyrics

I cast my name out to the sea
Outlawed, I'd always be
There with the rogues of history
The ones I'd called family

We were the vermin, but we were the brave
We chose the ocean to a world enslaved
Marked as the villains of history
But they broke the world
We just broke free

We held no judgment for those on our decks
Who heard your worship, who shared your bed
He was not sullied, and she not shamed
The sea took us in
Just the way we came

They robbed the poor in lawful piracy
Sold human souls under God and greed
And they wrote the laws to keep ill-gotten gains
And called us the villains
Outlawed our names
Yes, they called us the villains
The villains of this tale

We wreaked our vengeance on a world so corrupt
Not for the riches, and not for the blood
They kept us broken, upon our knees
And called us the brutes when we bared our teeth

They robbed the poor in lawful piracy
Sold human souls under God and greed
And they wrote the laws to keep ill-gotten gains
And called us the villains
Outlawed our names
Yes, they called us the villains
The villains of this tale

We made a new world that they couldn't own
Too free and equal, we were bound for the rope
We were the villains to break from their chains
We'd rather die as outlaws than as slaves

They robbed the poor in lawful piracy
Sold human souls under God and greed
And they wrote the laws to keep ill-gotten gains
And called us the villains
Outlawed our names
Yes, they called us the villains
The villains of this tale

So I'll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean sea
