Royal Galley

By the rail he stands On black waves he rides The tomorrow belongs to him And the queen by his side Do not fear the storm Master the oaken galley And be brave at heart For your king and country Turn the prow towards the storm For it's too late to turn back Royal galley under the sky Oh oh Breaking waves oh, so high Oh oh The ship is swaying Great white sails are torn "Work harder faithful crew, Or you'll do nothing more." The firm hand of doom Makes the ship heal. Rocking out of control Bending up its keel The imposing galley twists and turns Struggling in the wild waves Royal galley sailing no more Oh oh The ship is doomed forevermore Oh oh Panic and agony hands in the cold air As we're heading towards our destiny The figurehead is going down towards the black end Never to be seen again crossing the seven seas Clashing waves are our tragic requiem Since the maiden voyage was the last to be The golden flagship of the fleet Is heading for its deepest grave Royal galley lost at sea Oh oh Down in the deep, restin' in peace Oh oh --- Royal Galley - Falconer
