I was born I was born with the ocean in my soul With salt and brine in marrow and a heart as dark as coal I was born I was born with black powder in my veins I was made to be a sailin man I'm hooked with ball and chains I'm not my brothers keeper no I'm not a gentleman I've never cried for mercy and I've always made my stand I don't know what retreat means cause I'm always first attacking My destiny was piracy... Raised on the milk of the Kraken I was born I was born with nobody there to teach I had to learn the ropes myself on every new found beach I was born I was born with a first that's clinching fire With a mind the seeks adventure and thirsting for desire I was born I was born with an eye for gems and gold With a tongue to woo the women and a mouth that's rather bold I was born I was born, liquid courage calls to me I fear no man or monster from the land or from the sea
