Words and Music Chris Foster Copyright May 3rd 2003 Terror on the high seas wrought by Charles Gibbs Brandishing his sword in pirate fame For wealth that surfed the currents between the old world and the new Countless were the victims that he claimed A modus operandi of debauchery and greed No prisoners were the words of his command A cruel and vicious person with a gross incessant need To claim the life of every single hand Chorus They would hoist their mighty sails under the black flag Catch a trade wind to their date with infamy On a mission to destroy every time that they deployed They lived a vile evil life of treachery He sailed the Florida Straits searching for his prey Stealing all the treasures from their fold This madman on a mission would abscond with what he claimed Pavilion key was where he stored his gold. His ship would pull along side and tie their ropes to fore and aft They’d swing aboard with lust and greedy hearts They’d rape and murder woman and torture all the men Then throw their bloody carcass to the sharks. Repeat chorus Sax solo To romanticize a pirate is to make a mockery of life The Dark ages from our past in maritime But good traverses evil, so let the record show Charles Gibbs was hung at the age 29 Repeat Chorus Artist notes: Charles Gibbs had sworn a pact with his crew men to not take any prisoners. Gibbs was pretty true to this creed with the exception of a 17 year old Dutch girl that he could not bring himself to execute. He spared her life and built her a pavilion to stay in. After a week his crew threatened mutiny if she was not disposed of. Gibbs had his cook poison her. Pavilion Key was named for the structure built to house this lone prisoner from the elements. http://www.theamericansongwriter.com  More Chris Foster Song Lyrics
