RustyNell Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I wrote this song using our crews back story The Ballad of the Bone Island Buccaneers Across endless deserts of sea Sun scorched and cursed men, we be Forever our sails made We're bound to this rough trade We search to unravel the key Reese charted a map long ago To fortune and riches untold The church bound to hide it We swore we would find it and make Reese's treasure our own So dressed as a priest Jai did go Stole the map so we sailed for the pole But the Arch Angel followed and Sterling, he bellowed "Make way, or the locker you'll know" Bloody Spike Pierce ruled the day Through maelstroms, storm squall and spray to the earths frozen center we never surrendered We fought them like hell all the way X marked the spot was Atlantis A temple of gold quite fantastic A tree life eternal both crews now immortal locked in great battles were tested Atlantis destroyed in our haste The mystery now is laid waste We're marked to remember the symbols surrendered in the rubble of that sacred place Our captains left arm be our guide to unravel this secret through time the first to the key is the crew to be free No longer men cursed by the prize. Across endless deserts of sea Sun scorched and cursed men, we be Forever our sails made We're bound to this rough trade We've sailed here for many long years Forever our sails made We're bound to this rough trade as Bone Island Buccaneers. music and lyrics by Terry Lynn Conrads aka Rusty Nell Riley “PIRACY, n.
