Once you were all sea-folk and you sailed upon the seas
You crossed the roaring ocean with the devil at your heels
Your time has come again now, I'll tell you how this will unfold
I wanna see the western ocean painted black and gold
Welcome to the seaside
It's been occupied
Burrow to the bottom
And behold! -The mother lode
Of black and gold
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 wounded and the poor
For the hungry and the crafty and the wicked and the small
Onward to the seaside
It's been occupied
Burrow to the bottom
And behold! -The mother lode
Of black and gold
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
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
