Upon the horizon, through desolate islands
A black flag is rising

Fresh blood in the sand, twin guns in his hands
Hidden blades up his sleeve, cheap rum on his breath
Said he's done with his past, but the captain keeps on looking back

At the top of the mast, no other flag like the one that is black
What becomes of a man who runs with the deadliest scum of the land, in his way there is nothing to stand
Once he is done you'll be dust in the wind

Still he's a plundering lover of violence, born into poverty, bred into silence
In his veins runs blood that is blessed
Upon the black flag, the Brotherhood's crest

Leap from the sky, attack with my blades, land in your neck like they're Dracula fangs
Battle the tide, humbling waves. fighting through lightning, and thunder, and rain
Ready your muskets, sharpen your knives, gather the rum to protect with your lives
Send up the flag show them our mark Fire the cannons and light up the dark!

[Chorus:]
The black flag is rising, seeking retribution
He walks among pirates, his virtue is silence
His craft is illusion. he's just an illusion

Climbing masts like an acrobat, leaving a massive blood bath of aftermath, the captain of assassins
Back to back with Black Beard, that's clearly his habitat

He cracks treasure maps, that's a fact. And if you have to ask, don't even ask for half NO!
You act surprised, your back is stabbed. Never forget that the Jackdaw's flag is black bitch!

Hail the denier of empires, keeper of secrets unknown
All that he touches will set fire, now your gonna reap what you sow, here comes another Kenway

Show respect, his next move is checkmate
Take a moment to get your head straight
Let your guard down he'll make your neck break

Drink rum,make kills, and get laid. He'll take your wife home and break your bedframe
Dead bodies across the deck lay, toss em overboard, lose the dead weight

[Chorus]

Under the burning sun, you feel the winters breath
You hear a whisper of fate, you look around for the source
Its just a voice in your head. I am the reaper of debts come to collect

[Chorus]
