For Glory, For Honor
Verse 1
We set sail with the rising sun,
The wind in our sails, and our swords well-strung,
For glory or honor, men seek their prize,
But on these seas, it's blood that buys.
Oh, the captain he shouts, "To hell with their fame,
For what’s it worth if they don’t know your name?"
Chorus
For glory, for honor, they chase it so,
But you don’t need one if the other you know!
Raise your sword, take your stand, let the banners fly,
It’s the fight that we live for, it’s the death where we’ll lie.
For glory, for honor, the sea’s our grave,
You don’t need one if you live like a knave!
Verse 2
A sailor’s life is a fickle thing,
With a bottle of rum and a blade that sings.
We’ve no crowns to wear, no kings to call,
But we take what we want, we stand tall.
Let them chase honor with their heads held high,
But I'll take the coin and watch the cowards die.
Chorus
For glory, for honor, they chase it so,
But you don’t need one if the other you know!
Raise your sword, take your stand, let the banners fly,
It’s the fight that we live for, it’s the death where we’ll lie.
For glory, for honor, the sea’s our grave,
You don’t need one if you live like a knave!
Bridge
Honor’s a noose, tied 'round your neck,
But glory’s a fire that burns through the wreck.
I’ll take neither, I’ll fight for me own,
For the sea’s my kingdom, and the wind’s my throne!
Verse 3
Let them whisper of codes and deeds done right,
But it’s silver and blood that win the fight.
For what good’s a name, carved deep in stone,
If it leaves you cold, forgotten, alone?
Oh, the waves they call, the wind does too,
For glory’s a fool’s game, but honor’s the crew.
Chorus
For glory, for honor, they chase it so,
But you don’t need one if the other you know!
Raise your sword, take your stand, let the banners fly,
It’s the fight that we live for, it’s the death where we’ll lie.
For glory, for honor, the sea’s our grave,
You don’t need one if you live like a knave!
Outro
So sing to the storm, and drink to the fight,
For it’s neither that guides us through the night.
For glory or honor, well that’s up to you,
But I’ll take what I can, with my motley crew!
