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
