LYRICS:
Under The Black Flag Gavin Dunne 2013
Out on the endless ocean
We tear along the gales
With rum inside our bellies warm
And freedom in our sails
A wayward bunch of scoundrels
Assassins, thieves and slaves
The rich and blue bloods fear us when
We hunt upon the waves
And when you see it coming
That flag of baleful black
No point in turning tail there's no
Escaping our attack!
YO-HO!
YO-HO!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea & sky
YO-HO!
YO-HO!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We bleed the kingdoms dry!!
Defy the odds against us
A pirate knows no fear
Our steel is ready and our
Retribution is severe
We plunder from the greedy
With blood and with our steel
We rob the rich of their
Ill-gotten gain & make them kneel
Behold the oceans's mysteries
The tales of ancient deeds
We follow in the footsteps
Of a silent secret creed
Come on lads!!
YO-HO!
YO-HO!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea & sky
YO-HO!
YO-HO!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We bleed the kingdoms dry!!
Justice runs in crimson rivers....
YO-HO!
YO-HO!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We own the sea & sky
YO-HO!
YO-HO!
We row beneath the black flag
A rollickin' we go!
We bleed the kingdoms dry!!

Apologies folks, video got temporarily removed by KZbin due to a 'community violation'. Obviously it was incorrect and shouldn't have happened. It's fairly obvious that the song has nothing to do with the kind of 'pirates' the algorithm apparently thought it was about. 🙄 I'm sad & frustrated to see 9 years worth of all your lovely comments gone, but at least the video is back ❤

Tectiva Hundreds have suggested it, but the developers say it's "too clichéd". And then, you know, gave us pirates instead. :P A ninja AC game would be amazing, because if realistic, it would actually require quite a bit of brains and patience! Ninjas never fought in the open like video games portray, so players would actually need to use the environment around them. There would also be an opportunity to disguise oneself as a rice farmer and even have a huge number of exotic new weapons at their disposal! Yes!

My fav so far is, "Pirate Song".

[@hensomm]

Sounds like a Sabaton song, no wonder I like it

[@GenosseDorfel]

Rather like a mix of Sabaton and Alestorm ;)

[@hensomm]

I can agree to that

[@Random2]

Ehm, no ? No it does not sound like sabaton? The styles are completely different. This sounds more like some punk-folk-rock band like dropkick murphys or the speedier songs of flogging molly. Sabaton relies less on the speed (even though they do have somewhat fast ones) and more on the actual feel. Look at "carolus rex" for instance... It's slow. Very very slow. It's however focused on the ambience. You can find the same for primo victoria and the like. The vocal styles are different, the drums are totally different, the guitar picking and tuning is totally different, there is very little in common between this and sabaton. Having said that, both this and sabaton rock, each in their own way! A very good job here by miracleofsound.

[@Terezar]

It sounds like Alestorm

[@Domenion]

Terezar Id say this is more of a 90's pop rock version of Alestorm with a zesty sprinkling of 80's action cartoon for flavoring.
