A Prologue/The Jack and the Black Two men from the same belly One raised for the military The other a man of God A man of the cloth The soldier, he fought He honed his ire, his pride He rose quickly throught the ranks The other, the shepherd of men Abandoned his celestial vows And made a promise to the sea In search of liberty, freedom and fortune Their paths finally converged On opposite sides The older boy chose the king The other had no loyalties But to his own will and actions Two fearsome captains Two men bound by name Bound by blood Brothers Now fierce opponents The acrid smell of their gunpowder Cut the night The tragic cries of their battle Travelled a thousand leagues Across the stillborn seas They chose life on the sea Loyalty or greed To rise and be free Or follow the queen's decree Respected they were A ship they could stir No killing amateur Moral is always a blur Through storms they'd arise Through pain reach for the skies It's easy to see in the eyes What was their bigger prize Blood bound they were Never doubted they were sure The way without return One lives, the other shall burn In the distance they spotted Each other they knew Their lines were now knotted They alerted their crews When ships were aligned And blood had been spilled A shot was then fired Fate was fulfilled Through storms they'd arise Through pain reach for the skies It's easy to see in the eyes What was their bigger prize Blood bound they were Never doubted they were sure The way without return One lives, the other shall burn They sailed every sea With wind on their backs No mercy, on a spree For the jack or the black They cry out loud They chose their own side For freedom, sing proud Is the court your pride?
