The Pirate Queen

\nShe raised the Jolly Roger when he died;
\nWith vengeance in her heart and sword in hand –
\nThe men who’d hung her husband couldn’t hide.<\/p>\n
The witnesses against her man had lied,
\nNo use for truth they knew they were too grand;
\nShe raised the Jolly Roger when he died.<\/p>\n
Each night she’d taste the tears that she had cried,
\nThey fuelled her feud in ways few understand –
\nThe men who’d hung her husband couldn’t hide.<\/p>\n
Beneath her lash no orders were defied
\nAnd riches fell from all the raids she planned.
\nShe raised the Jolly Roger when he died.<\/p>\n
The courts they bribed found for the other side
\nBut she would drive their malice from her land,
\nThe men who’d hung her husband couldn’t hide.<\/p>\n
Each guilty man was slaughtered by the bride,
\nOur Pirate Queen saw each of them unmanned –
\nShe raised the Jolly Roger when he died
\nThe men who’d hung her husband couldn’t hide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
