lyrics

Jeronimus Cornelisz is a naughty man
Before we string him up we'll chop off his hands
With a chisel and hammer
On Cemetery Island

You know how we know he's a naughty man?
There's arms and legs poking out of the sand
Those who survive tell a tale most foul of heresy, betrayal and murder

Hoist up the banner of the VOC
The gibbet is built, what's a little blood spilt in the name of this glorious company?
The crabs will make short work of what the blowflies leave behind
On Cemetery Island

Jan Polgrom is a naughty boy
With a glint in his eye he swore to destroy
As Cornelisz commanded
On Cemetery Island

You know what we do with naughty boys?
We hold them underwater and poke out their eyes
Until they're either dead or ready to talk
Hark! I hear him speaking

Come now, devils with your sacraments -
Where are you?
Who wants to be stabbed to death?
I can do that very beautifully

Fold up the banner of the VOC
We'll maroon this lad for being very bad
In the name of this glorious company
We will all be glad to weigh anchor and depart
Cemetery Island
