The time has come for sailing the seas.
For silver and gold and diamonds and pearls.
The moral have nothing, and less every day.
Marauders, sail boldly or dearly pay.
The wealth of the world lies in faraway seas,
Where dark oysters bear beautiful pearls.
It is our right to take, their duty to give.
Our right to great wealth exceeds their right to live.
The time has come for sailing the seas.
For silver and gold and diamonds and pearls.
We need not justify our slaughter;
Sing praise of greed, of power, of murder.
