honour restored

each aching slave will see the pirate slain
from recollection of that stinking hold
don't name revenge that last easing of  pain

so many fools who will not see things plain
nor taste of patience that has been served cold
each aching slave will see the pirate slain

year upon year each one piles up the pain
the lone reward is simply growing old
don't name revenge that last easing of pain

a form of passion made to entertain
the ones whose enterprise was manifold
each aching slave will see the pirate slain

but silence will not fill this place again
now that the fallen have at last turned bold
don't name revenge that last easing of pain

all that we are all that our hearts contain
cannot we now declare be bought or sold
each aching slave will see the pirate slain
don't name revenge that last easing of pain
