[Shadowsoul]

Post it here probably.

Here's mine:


Shadowsoul was quite the pirate
Until the events that evil night.
He was fighting the undead on Padres
Until he saw Jolly Roger's face.
He ran as fast as he could,
just as he knew he should.
But Jolly Roger was faster
and you know what happens after.
Now old Shadow is one of the undead
and these were the last words he said:

UNDEAD MEN TELL GOOD TALES!!!

[edwardburnskull]

Here lies the pirate Ed
Sadly, he is now Dead
Because something fell on his head
He now knows what not to do
Don't fall into a trap intended for you.
That night a srange wind blew...
On Port Royal, Jolly came
Ed laughed at this game
Ed, called him a bad name
Jolly threw a adder at his head
He did not know that he was dead
In fact he lived instead!

Here lies a man who is alive
may these shacles let him not thrive.
For he still lives, plotting to send you for an eternal dive.


BEWARE EDWARD BURNSKULL
1642 AD - Present
[Insert a stone carving of Eds face]






Details about the Epitaph:
The tombstone is a black stone in the shape of a ↓. The stone is covered with a victims blood, and grave shacles. At midnight on hollows eve. Ed's carving of a face will dishappear, leaving his ignited skull, for he is not in his place, each year it is illeged that he comes out and kills one pirate. The stone is surrounded by a pile of decayed bones. They too reek havoc as the undead on Hallows eve. There is nothing other than them surrounding him for 42 feet, and everything within 42 meters is dead (42 is my favorite number). All of those who went to vanquish Ed died looking at the stone, so no picture was made. My location is a mystery, for you will seek me, but never find me.

[Davy Keelhawk]

Davy Keelahwk
1889-????

Here lies old Davy
Keelhawk
Maybe alive, maybe not......
Was hanged by the navy
With a cursed knot

the headstone itself is made of bronze, with a large, gold hawk being hanged from gallows

it is said that every febuary, Davy comes alive, and the "body" is roaming, during this time, the hawk portrayed in the headstone becomes alive aswell, and the only way to kill Davy is to kill the hawk, which usually goes home to the skies

[Fireflies]

Young Angel was a bright one,
Having a strong hand made of bronze,
She danced as she fought,
Thinking nothing about her end.

The end came,
As Angel saw,
Her mouth opened into a small smile,
And an owl flew over the sky.

The Gravestone shall look like this :

it's tall and gray with specks of dust over it. These words, I have written above, will be imprinted in tiny letters in the middle. The head of a stone shall have a music note of any kind. At the bottom, shall be the picture of a heart and owl tangled together with the words 'Tide Dancer' below the heart and owl.

[Jack Sharkbane]

Here Lies Jack,
Whom we thought came back,
but turns out when death came to jack with roger,
Jack just could not dodge 'er.
While we thought nothing can stop a god,
we remembered this was the god of odd.
Tis there a lesson to be learned?
Yes, as long as you live...
Never EVER write 'Jack Rulez and EKB Droolz' on the sailors yern.

*dramatic Bow*

[Deadpool]

The name says it all, he died from a fall
Never learned to swim, which made him feel of so quite dim....
Had another name before this "Dead Joke".... Either way he's one dead bloke
"Edward Ironbones" read his stone "He is now Dead and Gones"

[Liz Fireburn]

Liz was a whiz in the sailing biz
For she loved the ocean blue
Twas a dreadful night when she saw the surface fizz
Up came the Flying Dutchman bold and true
The organ played and the cannons roared
Down with her ship she went
Back to the depths the Dutchman soared
Now here her time is spent

[william kid]

With gun and sword I terrored the sea
That was what lead to the end of me
Finally laid in the cold damp ground
When from the gibbet they brought me down
Capt. William Kid 1645-1701

[Eliza Creststeel]

Eliza T. Creststeel

Our daughter of the sea
Whose blonde Amazon might
and strength in a fight,
was matched only by her love
of hearing the call - "helm's alee!"

Many a kindred spirit knew her love
and she was a sister to all.
When that day came of her fall -
she met her death valiant.
Now, she sails the clouds above



Lying Next to:

Here lies
Johnny Places
Thought his two pair
could beat four Aces

[Lisa]

The text says:
"A pirate lies here
O'Malley she be
Lisa the Mighty
Queen of the Sea
She met her fate
She has passed on
But her legend remains
And will always live on
For as she is now
Soon you shall be
So hoist up the sails
And voyage the sea"

[furballbuckeyes3114]

Ok, I got one:


Here lies Will, an easy kill, Hit in the head with a 'nade.
But wait, Will's not the one we want,
It's Jason who was on the hunt.
Looking for the Fountain, yes he was.
The Fountain of Youth indeed.
But all the myths, legends, stories too.
He did not care to heed.
Jack Sparrow wanted to get there first,
He really wanted to quench the thirst.
But Ol' Jason got the best of the man,
He knocked him out with the palm of his hand.
Now Jason knew this was bad.
He tried to cover Jack, with whatever he had.
Took the sail of the Pearl, yes he did.
With which he covered Jack, the whole body it hid.
Now my friends, Jason got to the Fountain of Youth,
Upon he gazed with fear,
Then upon Jason's smooth face,
Came rolling down a tear.
He knew that all he did was wrong,
He thought about what he did,
Thats when HE was struck in the head,
By Good Ol' Cap'n Kidd.
Jason woke up in the bottom of a well,
Which it was not very hard to tell,
It was in this well that he had fell.
Jason cried out in agony,
Then a ray of hope he came to see,
A Red Hawk swooping down below,
And came down and stopped his glee.
The Hawk killed Jason then and there,
Then pulled him up by strands of hair.
He was buried then in that same spot,
Which is known today as The Red Hawk's Dot.

The End.

Tombstone: A well, Red of course with a bronze hawk on the edge.


Some helpful hints: Will is Jason's brother, who wanted to be buried with him.
They are next to each other, and Jason's ( Sorry it's so long ) Will's just says the parts about him.

[Erich Uchiha]

R.I.P.

Here Lies Ol' Erich,
He was too barbaric,
He lost his head with a cutlass in his head,
The Blood has been shed, here lies good ol' Erich

[elise royale]

She fought and she did plunder
so now you may all wonder
How a pirate; fierce and brave
came to lie here in this grave.
It's a story to tell,
and tell it she did well.
So that many a man
Will do what they can
To set her spirit free,
letting it forever roam the sea.
Through the years,
she conquered her fears,
drank lots of rum,
got gangreen on her thumb.
But that never stopped her,
she kept going after
Jolly Roger's undead,
cutting off each head.
With her bounty raised high,
her spirit wanted to fly,
or sail far away,
and stay more than a day.
But alas, what a travesty,
the body of her majesty,
washed up on shore,
with only the bones of her core.
So her friends dug a hole
to rest her soul.
They laid her body in
and said good-bye with a grin.
Now her story's been told,
it's gotten a little bit old.
But at last she's at rest
in a place she loves best.

[combatlizzy]

Sank many a ship,
Defeated many a Foe,
But these things weren't the cause of this lass's tale of woe.
Lizzy loved her Rum-by the barrel ya know,
She fell overboard to Jones Locker below.
So tip your mugs for this wench with glee
Lizzy sails on now, but in another sea!
