The Pirate and the Emperor

The Emperor rules from a great hall
Will enforced with a mighty fleet
The Pirate embraces freedom’s call
But one must steal if one’s to eat

Will enforced with a mighty fleet
The Emperor offers the Pirate gold
But one must steal if one’s to eat
Noble promises will feel cold

The Emperor offers the Pirate gold
To plunder his enemies’ ships
Noble promises will feel cold
Poison, stemming from honeyed lips

To plunder his enemies’ ships
The Emperor has made an ideal friend
Poison, stemming from honeyed lips
The Pirate is a means to an end

The Emperor has made an ideal friend
But soon it will become clear
The Pirate is a means to an end
That is something both will fear

But soon it will become clear
The partnership will fail
That is something both will fear
Their only difference is scale

The partnership will fail
The Pirate embraces freedom’s call
Their only difference is scale
The Emperor rules from a great hall
