Oh, the year was 9:30 Dragon,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
A letter of marque come from the king,
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen,
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Rivain's Privateers.
Oh, Isabela cried the town,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
For a hundred men all fishermen who
Would make for her the Siren's crew
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Rivain's Privateers.
The Siren's Call was a sickening sight,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
She'd a list to the port and and her sails in rags
And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers.
On the King's birthday we put to sea,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
We were 91 days to Brendel's Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers.
On the 96th day we sailed again,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
When a bloody great Qunari hove in sight
With our warped ballistas we made to fight
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers.
The Qunari lay low with gold,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
She was broad and fat and loose in the stays
But to catch her took the Siren two whole days
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers.
Then at length we stood two cables away,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
Our warped ballista made an awful din
But with one fat ball the Qun stove us in
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers.
The Siren shook and pitched on her side,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
Isabela was pushed clear overside
And the flechettes chewed off all me thigh
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers.
So here I lay in my 23rd year,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN AYESLEIGH NOW!
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Denerim yesterday
Gods damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for Qunari gold
We'd shoot no bows-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Denerim pier
The last of Isabela's Privateers
