Marcy Playground - The Tale of Captain McGuire lyrics

Four and four-hundred solstices past When the sea was wild and the world was vast The king sent men to off the head O' brave Ryan McGuire and the pirates he led They hoisted sail and his majesty's flag And they sailed for the seas near the islands of Celtisag Two days and a fort-night by the sky When alas ' The Cutter Ryan ' the king's men he did spy And there a pirate chewed and pried The cork from a bottle to drink before he died "Full straight ahead!" howled Admiral Tannon "Load shot to the guns and fire the starboard cannon!" And a pirate cried, "Fire in the sky" "Fire in the sky" "Fire In the sky" The moon was black and the clouds they bled When alas the tall ship had sank to sea-bed Battered was that ship ' The Cutter Ryan ' But high on the mast the roger was flyin' The kings ship fell under violent fire No match for the great Captain McGuire And they all cried, "Fire in the sky" "Fire in the sky" "Fire in the sky"
