Falconer - Royal Galley lyrics

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 woooh ooooh
Breaking waves, oh, so high woooh 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 heel
Rocking out of control bending up it's keel

The imposing galley twists and turns
Struggling in the wild waves

Royal galley sailing no more woooh ooooh
The ship is doomed forevermore woooh ooooh
Royal galley sailing no more woooh ooooh
The ship is doomed forevermore woooh ooooh
Panic and agony hangs 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 it's deepest grave

Royal galley's lost at sea woooh ooooh
Down in the deep, resting in peace
Woooh ooooh royal galley's lost at sea
Woooh ooooh
Down in the deep, resting in peace
Woooh ooooh

The galley is lost and she's resting in peace
