Black & Gold

[Verse 1]
Once you were all seafolk and you sailed upon the sea
Crossed the roaring ocean with the devil at your heels
Oh, the time has come again now, I'll tell you how this will unfold
I wanna see the western ocean painted black and gold

[Chorus]
Welcome to the seaside, it's been occupied
Burrow to the bottom, and behold!
The mother lode of black and gold

[Verse 2]
Yes, once you were all sea-wolves, proudest on the western seas
These days you linger in the shade of taller trees
But the devil has a weak spot for the wounded and the poor
For the hungry and the crafty and the wicked and the small

[Chorus]
Onward to the seaside, it's been occupied
Burrow to the bottom, and behold!
The mother lode of black and gold

[Verse 3]
Keep that fire burning, keep a keen eye on the count
The bounty of the ocean, astronomical amounts
You all know where it's coming from, you all know where it's going
Yes, in the end I always had a cut of every coin

[Chorus]
Welcome to the seaside, it's been occupied
Burrow to the bottom, and behold!
The mother lode
You enjoy the seaside now, blindly occupied
Burrow to the bottom, and behold!
The mother lode of black and gold
