⚓ “The Black Stars Burn” ⚓
A Star Wars Pirate Shanty
🎵
(Verse 1)
Out past the rim where the stars grow cold,
We sail in silence, bold and old,
No laws of Jedi, Sith, or clone—
The void is dark, and we’re alone.
(Chorus)
Yo ho, let the black stars burn!
Spin the helm and fire in turn!
No spice too hot, no vault too deep,
We steal from kings, and we never sleep!
(Verse 2)
We plundered spice on Kessel’s run,
And drank our rum on moons with suns.
With sabers cracked and blasters drawn,
We rule the dark before the dawn.
(Chorus)
Yo ho, let the black stars burn!
Spin the helm and fire in turn!
No Empire’s leash, no New Republic chain,
We ride the storms through plasma rain!
(Bridge)
We carved our names on a Star Destroyer’s hull,
We danced with death ‘neath a crimson skull.
With droid and Wook and Twi’lek fair,
Our crew’s a curse, a cosmic snare!
(Verse 3)
The Force may guide, but gold we crave,
Our ship, the Night Reaver, rides each wave.
From Jakku sands to Nar Shaddaa,
We leave our mark like a blazing scar.
(Final Chorus)
Yo ho, let the black stars burn!
Let hyperspace twist and comets churn!
From Core to Fringe, we fly and fight,
Galactic pirates in endless night!
