"Marked for Death"
Written by Port Sulphur Band
Publication July 4, 1895

Pack your bag, come to port
There are 16 souls aboard
Blade is whet, take the bet, marked for death

Sinner's laugh, madmen weep
I never sleep to dream
Port's ahead, eyes turned west, marked for death

Among the rocks tempest rage
The sail a turning page
Windswept met, sails are rent, marked for death

Bleeding heart, mason's stone
Maelstrom, shell, graveyard bone
Mary wept, heaven sent, marked for death

Inky black, final song
Rising tide, lover's fall
Sun in the west, final breath, marked for death
