Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the rolling waves
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
So sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
[Verse 2]
So the years rolled by and several died and left us somewhat reeling
Johny strummed his tommy gun left blasting through the ceiling
What became of rebels who sang for you and me
Grappled with their demons in the search for liberty
[Verse 3]
Sufferers who suffer all can swim upon the desert
Avarice ravaged all in spite of good intentions
Don't fill your mouth with gluttony, for pride'll surely swell
But nothing's unforgiven in the four corners of Hell
[Verse 4]
So sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the rolling waves
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
Sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
[Verse 5]
Ah, envy and it's evil twin have crept in bed with slander
Idiots, they gave advice, the sloth, it gave no answer
Anger kills the human soul with bitter tales of lust
Like Pavlov's dogs keep chewing on the legs they never trust
[Verse 6]
Oh, sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the rolling waves
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
Sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
We're seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
[Verse 7]
But it's the only life we'll know
Blagards to the bone
So don't wreck yourself, take an honest grip
For there's more tales beyond the shore
[Verse 8]
Ah, the years rolled by and several died, and left us somewhat reeling
In and out came crawling out and spewed upon the ceiling
What became of rebels who sang for you and me
Grappled with their demons in the search for liberty
[Verse 9]
Oh, sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the rolling waves
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
Sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
[Verse 10]
Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the rolling waves
Together undivided but forever we'll be free
Sail away aboard our rig, the moon is full and so are we
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
Seven drunken pirates, we're the seven deadly sins
