Authour's Note: Well, um italics are the song, quotes aree talking. And well, I hope you like it. Please reveiw.
A line of many,
Many innocent souls,
Stood, chained,
Awaiting their doom.
---
Their death was eminent
For a crime they did not commit,
For associating themselves
With pirates,
Intentionally or unintentionally,
Either way, they'd die.
---
A young, tattered boy,
With a grimy face,
Stepped up to the gallows,
He looked at the noose,
Hanging several feet above his head.
---
And he began to sing,
---
The King and his men
stole the Queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we'll roam.
---
A man in the gallows next to the boy,
Seemed to take courage
From the song
And he joined in,
---
Yo ho,
All hands,
Hoist the colors high.
---
The rest of the doomed
Joined in,
Tears streaming down
Their dirty faces
With last thoughts
Of loved ones
Never to be seen again,
---
Heave ho,
Thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
---
The soldiers in all their blue glory,
And shining bayonets,
Stepped back,
Fear showing on their faces
As the haunting song rose
In volume,
As the doomed began to stomp
Their feet and rattle
Their chains,
---
Yo ho,
Haul together,
Hoist the colors high.
---
The soldiers stepped back
Fearing a rebellious mob.
---
"Lord Beckett,
They've started to sing, sir."
---
Heave ho,
---
"Finally."
---
Thieves and beggars,
Never shall we die.
---
Then the executioner
Let the doors beneath
The feet fall,
And the brave boy
Who started it all,
Died.
