Hoist the Colours
[ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 hands
Hoist the colors high
Never shall we die
Now some have died
and some are alive
and others sail on sea
with the keys to the cage
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler's Green.
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
The bell has been raised
from it's water grave
Hear it's sepulchral tone?
A call to all
pay heed the squall
and turn yourself toward home
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die
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.
The song "Hoist The Colours" by Hans Zimmer from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" is a powerful and evocative song that captures the spirit and determination of pirates. The song speaks of the pirates' goal to seize control of the seas and the sense of camaraderie and determination that binds them together.
The opening lines of the song tell the story of the Queen, who has been stolen from her bed and bound in her bones by the King and his men. This alludes to the idea of pirates taking control of that which is not theirs, and in doing so, becoming a force to be reckoned with. The line "the seas be ours and by the powers, where we will we'll roam" reinforces the idea of pirates as a powerful and unstoppable force, determined to conquer the ocean and everything in it.
The song then moves on to speak of those pirates who have died, and those who are still alive and sailing on the sea. These pirates are portrayed as bound together by both their love of adventure and their determination to succeed. The line "with the keys to the cage and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green" is a reference to the afterlife, with Fiddler's Green being a mythical place where dead sailors go to find eternal rest.
The repeated refrain "yo ho, haul together, hoist the colors high, heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die" epitomizes the collective spirit of the pirate crew. They act as one, drawing strength from their shared sense of purpose, and refusing to be defeated.
Overall, "Hoist The Colours" is a rousing song that celebrates the spirit of the pirate. It portrays pirates as bold and determined, willing to risk everything to achieve their goals. It's a song of unity and camaraderie, reminding us of the power of working together to achieve great things.

The King and his men
The group of men led by the King
stole the Queen from her bed
They took the Queen from her sleeping place
and bound her in her bones
They tied her up tightly
the seas be ours and by the powers
We have power over the seas
where we will we'll roam
We can travel wherever we want to go
Yo ho, all hands
A call to action for everyone present
Hoist the colors high
Raise the flag to signify our presence
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Let's work together, despite our differences
Never shall we die
Our spirit will never be broken
Now some have died
We have lost some members
and some are alive
But some of us are still here
and others sail on sea
And others are still out there sailing
with the keys to the cage
With the power to set someone free
and the Devil to pay
And a price to be paid for our actions
we lay to Fiddler's Green.
We will rest in a peaceful place in death
The bell has been raised
A warning has been sounded
from it's water grave
From the depths of the ocean
Hear it's sepulchral tone?
Can you hear its ominous sound?
A call to all
A call to action for everyone
pay heed the squall
Beware of the powerful storm
and turn yourself toward home
And head back to safety

🏴☠️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 hands
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
Now some have died
And some are alive
And others sail on the sea
With the keys to the cage
And the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green.
Yo ho, all hands
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
The bell has been raised
From it's watery grave
Hear it's sepulchral tone?
We call to all
Pay heed the squall
And turn yourself toward home.
Yo ho, all hands
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
Yo ho, haul together
Hoist the colors high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die. 🏴☠️
I appreciate the likes, since I wanted so bad to listen to it with proper lyrics, and I wasn't able to find it anywhere on this comment section, so I decided to do it myself.
pretty time consuming tbh 😂
Ps: I noticed some mistakes and fixed it 👍

I absolutely adore this sort of singing. Reminds me of why mongolian throat singing and choirs tend to get me from deep within. Legit shivers, I'm not religious but man imagining this being sung in a cathedral ... Amazing work everyone and Thatbassvoice caught me so off guard, someone said "Dragon king" in the comments and this is so spot on lmfao like bothering a dragon king from its slumber for an audience that can only end 1 of 2 ways !! bruh if I wasn't such a lazy motherf* I'd make an animatic in a he(art) beat ;;
