- Hunting Pirates Lyrics

Full sails ahead, oceans painted red
When the soldiers of fortune hunt for pirates
No questions asked, we fulfil our task
Tones all turn grey after sunset

Slaying a man, taking what you can
What is right, what is wrong, who can answer?
Sailing the seas, we do just what we please
Emperors, pirates; all cancer

Hoist the sails!  Wipe them out now
Kill them all!  Let them die
Scum they are!  Foe of mankind
Clear the sea!  Show no ruth

We have no choice, it's you who are the bad guys
You've taken it all and yet you still dare to fault
Who are you to judge and to condemn us
Underneath the paint your flag is still black

Hoist the sails!  Wipe them out now
Kill them all!  Let them die
Scum they are!  Foe of mankind
Clear the sea!  Show no ruth

Yes we can, and therefore we do so
Please understand, that there's nothing you can do
The world has changed, your justice is outdated
What is right, is what is right for me
Full sails ahead, oceans painted red
When the soldiers of fortune hunt for pirates
No questions asked, we fulfil our task
Tones all turn grey after sunset

Slaying a man, taking what you can
What is right, what is wrong, who can answer?
Sailing the seas, we do just what we please
Emperors, pirates; all cancer

Share the wealth, your holdings should be ours
It's all a smile on our sunny bright kolkhoz
Where's the crime, when no-one's really losing?
Out of cash? Why don't you print some more

Full sails ahead, oceans painted red
When the soldiers of fortune hunt for pirates
No questions asked, we fulfil our task
Tones all turn grey after sunset

Slaying a man, taking what you can
What is right, what is wrong, who can answer?
Sailing the seas, we do just what we please

Emperors, pirates; all cancer
Both we are but selfish chancers
Taking what's there

What is the meaning behind Hunting Pirates lyrics?


When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Turisas’ track ‘Hunting Pirates’ portrays metaphorically a gang of the soldiers of fortune going after the pirates and claiming their actions were necessary against those whom they tagged as the scum. It thus challenges the traditional views of right and wrong, showing a world where people rely on their own meaning of justice and look out only for themselves, even if that means taking their own moral standards aside. Hunting pirates lyrics predominantly convey social commentary, anger, angst, adventure and empowerment. On the other hand, the song also highlights morality and justice, rebellion and defiance as well as greed and exploitation. The lyrics to the song bring out the act of violence through slaying and killing, which the song keeps portraying throughout. The diction hints at the adult-themed content and the grimness of the moral issue involved, thereby rendering the song inappropriate for children unless they are supervised by their parents.
