I'm gonna do my best to format this the way it sounds.

Nothing sounds more fun thanLandings unopposedNo cannon on the headlandNo bay'net at my noseTake their silver, take their landTake their women by the handRoll the heads of those who standBetween us and the coast

From Calais to L'Anse aux MeadowsLindisfarne, up the SeineAt Jamestown and GallipoliI kept the shore in mind

I was a lass who ship to seaThe tape on my chest read "Scourge of Ye"The ramp went down at half past fourI took one step and strode ashoreAn iron axe, an M-16A thousand years packed in betweenOne spoke Old Norse, one spoke MarineI know exactly what they mean

Nothing sounds more fun thanLandings unopposedNo cannon on the headlandNo bay'net at my noseTake their silver, take their landTake their women by the handTake the heads of those who standBetween us and the coast

The Norse supply blood appetiteThe English made the papers rightThe Navy brought me ship to shoreThe Corps did what the Corps was forI took the crown, I took the chairI took the plates and silverwareI asked the lady waiting there,"Are you coming too?"The lady packed a single caseThen slapped a lord across the face"I never liked this fucking place,Make room aboard for two."

Gallipoli went differentlyThey guarded that one properlyThe strait was mined, the heights had gunsWhich rather spoiled all the fun

So if you own a patch of sandKeep title papers close at handAt quarter after three, you'll see me,Scourge of Ye, come in from seaI'll take your silver, house, and key,Your women, voluntarilyI'll pack your head separatelyAnd ship it C.O.D.!

Nothing sounds more fun thanLandings unopposedNo cannon on the headlandNo bay'net at my noseTake their silver, take their landTake all their women by the handTake the heads of those who standBetween us and the coast!

From Calais to L'Anse aux MeadowsLindisfarne, up the SeineTo Jamestown and GallipoliI'll come ashore in time

One thing I wannt to poinnt out is that "ship to sea" is the most natural way of saying it, at least when I do. "Shipp'T TOO" is so awkard, and i dont want anyone reading it that way because it adds a GARBAGE NOISE

should I change it from third person to first person? I might.

Late to this, but I literally just watched a video about Grant crossing the Mississippi at Bruinsburg, which fits so perfectly
