While sailing for our master, our crew met with disaster
An ambush perpetrated in the night
We could not sail faster off the shores of Madagascar
They boarded us, and we commenced to fight
We held our ship's position, put prisoners to question
And learned the truth of this craven attack
An ally in our mission betrayed our ship's position
The traitor plunged a dagger in our backs
He who dares shall
Walk the plank and sink into the depths below
Walk the plank and reap the treachery you sow
Walk the plank, and may Poseidon's creatures feast
Upon your face
Tonight, the sea has scum below
No longer man, now fetid waste
The traitor's compensation, relieved of all his station
--- the punishment was fit
A quiet jubilation, detritus for crustaceans
As cruelty shreds his carrion to bits
He who dares shall
Walk the plank and sink into the depths below
Walk the plank and reap the treachery you sow
Walk the plank, and may Poseidon's creatures feast
Upon your face
Tonight, the sea has scum below
No longer man, now fetid waste
Clap the irons on his ankles, weight to drag his carcass down
'Tis the fate (that) befalls the traitor
'Tis the fate to sink and drown
Walk the plank and sink into the depths below
Walk the plank and reap the treachery you sow
Walk the plank, and may Poseidon's creatures feast
Upon your face
Tonight, the sea has scum below
No longer man, now fetid waste
