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

Ooooh ooooh

Breaking waves oh, so high

Ooooh ooooh



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 impsing galley twists and turns

struggling in the wild waves



Royal galley sailing no more

Ooooh ooooh

The ship is doomed forevermore

Ooooh ooooh



Panic and agony hands in the cold air

as weÄre 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 maidenvoyage was the last to be



The golden flagship of the fleet

is heading for its deepest grave



Royal galley lost at sea

Ooooh ooooh

Down in the deep, resint in peace

Ooooh ooooh
