"Hoist the Colours"

'The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones
the seas be ours
and fight the powers
where we row we'll roam

Yo ho all together
hoist the colours high
heave ho
thieves and beggars
never shall we die
*chains rattle*'

Is it bad that I memorized that song in less than 10 minutes? And why do you think that little boy had a piece of the eight?

Pieces of eight was just a currency of the time so anybody could have had one. I think it was just a teaser to get the thought processes going.

Not to sure about the singing though. I guess it was to start the reconvening of the 9 but does that mean that any piece of eight could do it?

The song is about 2 minutes long 🙂 But it's great! I love this music!

well, the kid sung the song, and had a PoE in his hand, when in Singapore Liz is singin it and Barbossa hands a PoE to Sao Feng would that mean coz the boy sung the song....the "song has been sung"?

Word must have traveled fast about the song. I'd have to watch it again, but all these people that are hanged in the beginning are hanged because they were either pirates or helped pirates. So that kid may have been a pirate and knew about the song all along, or maybe was part of a pirate legacy.

well, he had a PoE

I learned that when the song is sung,the pirates who have a piece of the eight,their piece will vibrate.

Just realized something!

''The king and his men''-King of the pirates and all the others.

''stole the queen from her bed''-they took Calypso

"and bound her in her bones" -bound her in human form

O.o I listened to this song to much.

lol i posted that on another thread somehwere.. but yeah haha

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

The symbolism of the song is so beautiful. I love it. I haven't decided if it ranks above the classic, "Yo ho a pirate's life for me."

I actuall perfer it above 'A pirates life for me'. It has a much deeper meaning to it. I mean come on,even the Navy officers started to back away from them!

A pirates life for me is a happy song though 🙂

true. 🙂

Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me

anyone have a video of that? how to sing it.. the whole of it? i really wan't to kinda memorize it, but can't.. want to.. anyone have a link or something?

Tomorrow,I'll just be posting the song on YouTube.
