lyrics

Dead Men Tell No Tales

The rumor lives on
Of a treasure so dear
But dead men tell no tales,

That seekers have sought
For many a years
And dead men tell no tales,

Oh soldiers have fought
Through pain and tears
And dead men tell no tales my friend,

And thinkers have thought
With that thing between their ears
Ya Dead men tell no tales...

Ya dead men tell no tales my friend
Ya dead men tell no tales...
There’s nothing safer than a secret untold,
and dead men tell no tales.
and dead man tell no tales.

The clues we bought
With silver and gold
and dead men tell no tales,

And the story we got
Was rotten and old
and dead men tell no tales,

The treasure`d found
If someone was told
but dead men tell no tales my friend,

For the Fountain of Youth
From our soles got sold
Ya dead man tell no tales...

Ya dead men tell no tales my friends
Ya dead men tell no tales...
There’s nothing safer than a secret untold,
Cause dead men tell no tales
and dead man tell no tales.

The map with the foe
Got sunk in the brine
But dead men tell no tales,

Shreds of evidence
Down with those nine
And dead men tell no tales

We've searched for so long
We're running out of time
and dead man tell no tales my friend.

The rumor remains
we’re loosing our minds
And dead man tell no tales...

Ya dead men tell no tales my friends
Ya dead men tell no tales...
There’s nothing safer than a story untold,
Cause dead men tell no tales
and dead man tell no tales.

Dead man wail no veils my friends
Dead man wail no veils,
There is nothing louder than a grievers moan
As dead men wail no veils
Yes, dead man wail no veils l...

Ya dead man sail no sails my friends
Ya dead man sail no sails,
There's nothing cleaner than a canvas in fold
And dead man sail no sails,
Ya dead man sale no sails...

What's behind the veil my friends
What's behind the veil,
It's crossing the sea, a birth and a deck,
A coffin and a nail
Dead man tell no tales...
