They cast of the mooring with a fleet full of four
Two for the crew, and two more
For the grog they will drink
Face down in hell's sink
A fistful of darkness
A knock on death's door
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door! Death's Door!]
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door! Death's Door!]
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door! Death's Door!]
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
While they were asleep
The crags did a creep
From off in the distance to under their feet
The call from crow's nest came down too late
None would escape their miserable fates
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door! Death's Door!]
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door! Death's Door!]
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door! Death's Door!]
[Ha ha ha]
Knock on death's door!
[Death's Door!]
[Death's Door!]
[Death's Door!]
