Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some men are killed by gunfire
Some men are killed by swords
Some men are killed by undead minions
Of the zombie horde
Some men fall off buildings
And splatter to a paste
Some men will shit their guts to death
When poison, they do taste
[Chorus]
Explosions in the night
Your fucking ship is burning bright
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
Gunfire and cannon blasts
The pirate horde will kick your ass
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
[Verse 2]
Some men are killed by robots
Some men are killed by cars
Some men will die asleep in bed
But that's not very, yarr
Some men are killed in outer space
While walking on the moon
Some men will have their entrails gouged out
With a rusty spoon
[PreChorus]
There's just one death
That matters to me
You must be killed by piracy
[Chorus]
Explosions in the night
Your fucking ship is burning bright
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
Gunfire and cannon blasts
The pirate horde will kick your ass
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
[Chorus]
Explosions in the night
Your fucking ship is burning bright
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
Explosions in the night
Your fucking ship is burning bright
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
Gunfire and cannon blasts
The pirate horde will kick your ass
Your doom comes from the sea
Killed to death by piracy
