Captains of Adventure Lyrics

 

We brought updates that were free, to those who sailed the sea
though there's always more potential within.
And as this song will spell out, there's plenty to sing about,
now that you can finally be a captain.

Can you imagine, owning your own ship.
Decorated with what you acquire.
Then to satisfy your vanity, as long as there's no profanity,
you can name it just how you desire!

Ooooooooh tooooooo set sail as a pirate captain,
There's boatloads of new features we proclaim.
Oh to set sail as a pirate captain
That's why we really think that you should play this game!
And it's available with Xbox Game Pass, of course!


Oh to set sail as a pirate captain,
Adventure will come knocking on your door!
Oh to set sail as a pirate captain,
and you'll be amazed at what we have in store!

The choice is yours whatever captain you may be,
we'll make sure you're rewarded all the same.
When you walk the path you choose, there's no way that you can lose,
whether that's gold looting, no-scope shooting, Rowboat racing, lore embracing, everybody's welcome in this game!

Sooooo coooome set sail as a pirate captain!
Our time is almost up so as we leave,
if you want to be a pirate captaaaaaaaaaaaain!
Come do it in Season Seven of Sea of Thieves.

Hoist the Colours

The famous song from Pirates of the Caribbean can be heard during the Captains of the Damned Tall Tale at the Fort of Lost Souls. The lyrics tell the tale of the Pirate King and First Brethren Court binding Calypso to her mortal body.

Hoist the Colours Lyrics (as heard in game)

 

The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones
The seas be ours
and by the powers
Where we will, we'll roam.

Yo ho, all together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die

(It's a) Rare Shanty

The Rare Shanty was released to commemorate Rare Ltd's 35th anniversary. The song's lyrics contain multiple references to other games created by the company.

Lyrics

 

It's a Rare Shanty, a song from me,
for all upon the Sea of Thieves.
Of distant lands, and adventures grand-
Draw near, cause here, are tales you won't believe.

A jungle explorer went in search of gold,
cursed by a wolf or so the stories told.
Jigsaws hunted by a bear and bird,
save them from a witch, well, that's what I heard.

It's a Rare shanty, to mark a jubilee,
we'll head out on a treasure hunt to sail across the seas.
Jewels that gleam like a wildest dream, so pass, a glass, and listen to the rest.

On this throne sits a king of all the land,
piles of coins and a tankard in his hand.
Hehehah, ahh that's a lovely tune that is. I wonder who wrote it?
I don't know, do you know? I don't know.

There's ancient relics, magic keys, bananas, and a secret cheese.
A legendary pirate hoard, ooh there's too much to count it all.
It's a Rare shanty for a family, for pirates that are old and new.
We've had laughs and cheers in the thirty five years-
Be free, at sea, and join our Rare Shanty-

It Had To Be You Lyrics

 

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found, the somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinking of you

Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, try to be boss, but they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill, with all of your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!

la la la la
la la la la laaaaaaa
la la la laaa laaaaa
la la la laaa laaaaaa
la laa laa laa laaaaaaa
laaa laa la la LAAAAAAAAAAA
laaaa laa la la laaaaaaaaaaa

It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you
It had to be yooooooou
It had to be you.
I wandered around, and finally found, the somebody who
For nobody else gave me a thrill, with all of your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.
*woof*

Oh Hail, the Pirate Lord

Oh Hail, the Pirate Lord can be read from a Journal found on islands.

Oh Hail, the Pirate Lord Lyrics

 

Beyond the ocean, rocks and mist, lies a secret none can tell. Filled with booty, grog and reminisce, it's my crew's true place to dwell.
Oh where will I find a haven safe to stash my hoard? Hush now, you sea urchin! Just take it to the Lord!
He waits amongst a pile of gold. He wants them chests, unearthed, found and stole.
Just give em' up and then you'll see...Pirate Legend, maketh thee. Now set sail for destiny! Oh hail, the Pirate Lord!
Beyond horizon, reefs and port. Be a place that none can see. Stocked with parchment, grog, and long lost maps. It be filled with mystery.
Oh how will I make my ship a legend that's adored? Hush now you land lubber! You haves to please the Lord!
He waits amongst a pile of gold. Tell him, the things, to your crew never told.
Just serve him and then you'll see...Pirate Legend maketh thee. Now angle those sails for destiny! Oh hail, the Pirate Lord!

Deck the Hulls

Deck the Hulls is a festive singalong shanty, released in 2019, which celebrates the Bilge Rat Adventures and Content Updates that had come to Sea of Thieves since the game's release in 2018 up to December 2019.

Dialogue icon.png

Deck the Hulls Lyrics

 

Deck the hulls with boughs of holly,
fa la la la la, la la la la

Sea of Thieves just keeps expanding,
adding more adventures for your crew.
Every month, new updates landing,
bringing ways to play and things to do.
Settle back and fill your tankard,
raise a glass to days of yore.
Make sure that you're firmly anchored,
Here's a taste of all that's gone before!

First into the fray came Merrick
with a special drum we could equip.
Only to get all hysteric
when it caused the Meg to eat our ship.

Next we went in search of Wanda
and her army from the deep.
Blew her to the wild blue yonder
with the cannonballs we got to keep.

The Forsaken Shores Alliance
sailed out to find The Devil's Roar.
Morrow's act of proud defiance
brought a whole new region to explore!
Red-hot geysers,
streams of lava,
catch a Rowboat for your ride!
If it's all the same I'd rather
run into a nearby cave and hide.

We saw flames while out patrolling,
every fire burned with ghostly light.
Then the fog began to roll in,
helping us to keep well out of sight.

Duke created monthly missions,
just one chance to join the fun.
Everyone knew our positions
when we tried a deadly Reaper's Run!
The Arena crowned its winners,
those who captured silver for their haul.
We fished up delicious dinners
trading with the hungry Hunter's Call.

Then we went in search of glory,
to the fabled Shores of Gold.
Carving out an epic story
in the Tallest Tales ever told!

We recovered powder stashes
and a bunch of stolen relics too.
Spending coins from ancient caches,
bringing home a pet to join our crew!

Now we brave the wintry weather,
arm in arm, hearts filled with cheer.
Join us as we sail together.
We've got plenty more in store next year!

Call of the Bells Lyrics

 

Hark at the bells hear what they tell
Calling to say ships on their way
Danger is near pirates are here
Soon to attack no turning back
Pistol and sword readied aboard
Hear how they sing of plundering
Then lanterns light blinding and bright
Now cannons flare filling the air
Oh, how they pound striking the ground
Crews reach the land weapons in hand
Caught in the brawl the people fall
Framed by the fire flames soaring higher
All around the smoke and sounds of fighting
And the powder barrels are igniting
Choked in their smell
On tolls the bell
Ding dong, ding dong

Those of us who can take up position
We will never cower in submission
Let the bells ring more they will bring
With every peal never to kneel

We built a home made it our own
Ours to uphold we must be bold
If this should be our elegy
We shall die well so says the bell
Raising our swords we raise towards them
Blades in the darkness, oh, how they spark
If this is the day our world is ended
All who sail shall know it was defended

Hark at the bells
Hear what they tell
Our final stand on Golden Sand
On pirates roam to every home
Ding dong, ding dong

Captains of Adventure - On Yule Tides Lyrics

 

We sailed across the sea, now let's gather round the tree
To celebrate and raise a glass, me hearty
The year is at its end, so link arms with foes and friends
It's time for us to throw a pirate party


Can you imagine shaking your own gift?
Trying to work out just what lies inside
As long as it's vaguely plunderable and hopefully still refundable
You'll be wearing a grin three miles wide


Oh, let's have ourselves a pirate party
As fireworks light up the starry sky
Yes, we're here for another pirate party
It's amazing just how quickly time can fly


Everybody loves a pirate party
Let food and drink unite us all in cheer
You're invited to our pirate party
As we look back on another loot-filled year


Now as we through another wood crate on the fire
Sing with us in our festive revelry
While the snowflakes fall, listen closely for our call
Whether you're gift wrapping, bunk bed-napping, friend-surprising, sprout-despising
Everybody's welcome on the sea (take it away)


So it's time to start our pirate party
The pints are almost pulled so as we leave
Thanks for joining in our pirate party (party, party)
And we'll see you all next year in Sea of Thieves


I saw Grogg Mayles come strolling in, he said the drinks were all on him
But then he couldn't pay his tabs, so he was thrown out the tavern
*laughter*
