Question:

In pirates of the carribian: At world's end, what is the meaning of the last two verses of the song?

hoist the colors high was the song in the begining. I understand the first one refers to davy jones being the piarate king, and his men sealing caylpso to her bones, but whats with the bell and the fiddlers green? I get the part about his keys, I think its to the chest with his heart, and the men have died part is to him ferrying the souls part too. where does fiddlers green fit in? and I have no idea what the bell part means.

Some men have died and some are alive
And others sail on the sea
with He keys to the cage
and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green

The bell has been raised
from it's watery grave
do you hear it's sepulchral tone
We are a call to all, pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home

According to Joshamee Gibb's The Pirates Code - Guidelines - published by our friends at Disney:

"If a pirate has made his apologies for his wayward life, and sought and received pardon for his misdeeds, he may be fortunate enough to be offered residence in Fiddler's Green at his Final Judgment. Here there is eternal calm and joy. Here, the fiddler's fingers never rest and dancers never tire.

To get to Fiddler's Green, an old pirate puts his oar over his shoulder and walks inland until he reaches a place where the villagers ask him what he is carrying. There he will receive a bottomless mug of grog, an eternally smoking pipe, and a seat in the sun at the local inn where he can watch beautiful maidens dancing for the rest of time."

Now, the ship bell was used to warn, wake up, call, as in when the bell was rung in the Curse of the Black Pearl when the cursed pirates attacked, etc. However, if the bell rang by itself it was considered to be a bad omen. I think the bell in the song referred to the bell on the Dutchman, which would be raised each time the Dutchman surfaced.
