Hoist the Colours
Posted on Jun 12, 2007
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colours high.Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die.
The king and his men stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours and by the powers
where we will -- we'll roam.
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colours high.
heave, ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die .
Some men have died and some are alive
And others sail on the sea.
With the keys to the cage, and the devil to pay,
We lay to Fiddler's Green!
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die.
The bell has been raised from its watery grave,
Do you hear its sepulchral tone?
A call to all, pay heed the squall
And turn your sails toward home!
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never say we die.

The PTB got the message. I didn't have anything to worry about, but a number of lj friends were a little PO because of this fiasco. Luckily this seem to be getting back to normal - bit of an oxymoron really since there's nothing that's really normal nowadays.

no problem! Tis a good theme song for any who have encountered wrong-doing and need to stick together! Arrrr! Hope you all were able to get your point across, to the powers that be!

Arrrr.... About 2 weeks ago someone from "Warriors of Innocence" had complained to the powers that be over at livejournal claiming that LJ was harbouring pedophiles and other sickos - which was completely false. So because of this complaint LJ did a mass suspension without checking into these so-called offensive journals first (mostly fanfic and a few surport comms - from what I could see). So far Six Apart (the powers that be) reinstated the suspended journals days later, in the meantime a lot of people (myself included) posted this song as a kinda portest. Either way I still enjoy the song. Sorry if this is a little long-winded.
