about

Dedicated to the squatters, anarchos, antifas and creatives of Den Haag in the Netherlands (now to be found at De Samenscholing, Batrijstraat, Den Haag)

lyrics

De Vloek
On a cold and bleak horizon there’s a beacon shining bright
Haul away for freedom haul away
The black flag flutters proudly in the Scheveningen night
Haul away for freedom haul away

Haul away, haul away, haul away for freedom, haul away
Haul away, haul away, haul away for freedom, haul away

Intolerant of intolerance and those who seek control
For a vibrant rebel culture to feed the body and the soul

Now there’s cracks in sterile concrete where the seeds of freedom grow
They gentrify but we defy by the North Sea’s ebb and flow

Swashbucklers and soapdodgers pin your colours to the mast
We’ll defend De Vloek and freedom, we’ll defend it to the last

Freebooters and freethinkers, wherever you may roam
Stand in pirate solidarity with our comrades across the foam
