Hoist the Colours

"Hoist the Colours" is a musical theme composed and conducted by Hans Zimmer for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. It appears as track one on the film's soundtrack, at 1:31 in length.

The track begins with snare drums and a lonely chime, followed by a boy singing a pirate shanty. A rabble of pirates continue the song, and the track ends with snare drums and a chain rattle. It accompanies the journey to Sao Feng's bath house in Sinapore at the start of the film.

Lyrics

 * ''Yo ho, all together, Hoist the Colours high
 * Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!''
