	You take our gold and we'll take yours too You fire your cannons and we'll fire ours too So when you're waiting for the next attack Don't set your sails, there's no turning back The cannons sound, battle begins But on this blackened ocean no one wins The smell of gunpowder and rotting flesh As we plunge towards the briny depths The ship lists to one side, we break to run The mighty roar of the pirate guns We jump on board their ship, over the wall The screams of pain as my shipmates fall We slice their bodies to the ground And take their treasure from within their hold They got so near yet so far away They won't live to sail another day Back to our own ship, leap with all your might With all our cannons get them in our sights We light the fuses and they feel the blow The blast sends them sinking down below Now as we sail towards the setting sun We know our Pirate Trooper's work is done Now to a tavern we will sail full speed To spend our booty on Wenches and Mead!

FREE SINGLE for International Talk Like a Pirate Day 2018

Lyric video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoDWZbcXepo

Anyone who's seen us live knows a staple of our set and firm fan favourite is our piratified version of The Trooper by that other slightly better known "Iron" band, Iron Maiden. However up until now it has only ever been heard live… So, to celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day 2018, we present for the first time THE (PIRATE) TROOPER in it's full studio-recorded glory! This was recorded during the Hoist the Black Flag album sessions, but has never seen the light of day until now.

Originally by Iron Maiden, written by Steve Harris. Arranged and adapted by Iron SeaWolf.

On this recording:
Nick Wragg: Lead vocals, viola, guitars, bass
Sam Morley: Guitars, drums, backing vocals
Owen Evans: Accordion, backing vocals
