For the Cursed

Dedication: to Cora, my Pirates of the Caribbean fic idol.
--
Upon the blue-grey crest of northbound tide
Lies a ship with sails coloured like ink
To bring a bloody mutiny to the brink
And seem like feral clouds against the sky
The helm's man escaped fated capture thrice
His heart belongs to the vast and open sea
Wherein he finds a fulfilled fantasy
Beyond Tortugan whores' ungodly price
The crew's faces of white and glowering bone
Smear with blood when the ship sails ashore
To find their gold and be cursed never more
Repay the gods when rough hatchet is thrown
To many of the men, the ship is freedom
They needn't wash their hands clean of a crime
For they know that there will come a time
When their suffering can be redeemed
They are the damned, forevermore
Crew of the Pearl, with blight and gore
