Royal Galley

(album: Falconer - 2001)

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
Ooh ooh
Breaking waves oh, so high
Ooh ooh

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
Ooh ooh
The ship is doomed forevermore
Ooh ooh

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
Ooh ooh
Down in the deep, resting in peace
Ooh ooh
