about

Walk the Plank depicts a narrative of rebellion and defiance against a corrupt and oppressive authority. The lyrics convey a sense of being in a place ruled by dishonest and unjust individuals, where the protagonist and others are marginalized and manipulated. The song expresses a desire to challenge this system, and conveys a message of rebellion, empowerment, and the refusal to succumb to oppression.

lyrics

In a land
Where thieves and liars rule
Feeling banned
Where we are all but fools
No regrets
We accept these terms
Stating the facts
Only to confirm

bridge:
Washing their hands
In the blood of the innocent
Trying desperately to cleanse
The world of the imminent

They say walk the plank
Head held high, embrace your death
While the sharks attack the flank
Close your eyes…

chorus:
Lie to my face
Walk away
No more disgrace
Don’t delay
Close those gates
Just betray
Set it all ablaze
Let it decay

Sails set high
Ready to conquer all
We cannot abide
This will be your downfall

I take a stance
Crown myself as your new leader
You don’t stand a chance
You’re outnumbered and weaker

Repeat bridge & chorus

Let’s attack that ship and
loot the treasure
Hoist the flag
Take no prisoners,
leave them all for dead
Hoist the flag
Take command, steer into the flank
Hoist the flag
Capture the captain,
tie him up and make him
walk the plank

Repeat bridge

Walk the plank (4x)

Repeat bridge

Walk the plank
into the sea of death (3x)
