| So ends the tale of a hero
|
| With a true English heart
|
| Of a man who knows pain and sorrow
|
| And the fortunes in life
|
| Villain, then hero, then scapegoat was I
|
| Once I was knighted, now my star disappeared
|
| In a darkening sky
|
| Never feared the enemy
|
| Not on land, nor on sea
|
| Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate
|
| I’ve been always fighting for
|
| For my Queen forevermore
|
| The empire’s blade for a changing fate
|
| This news is too disappointing
|
| To ignore it, Sir Drake!
|
| Sunken ships and twelve thousand fallen
|
| A disastrous mistake!
|
| You’ve been a daring, reliable man (I'm still that man!)
|
| Upright and loyal to his Queen and land
|
| Now our union must end
|
| Never feared the enemy
|
| Not on land, nor on sea
|
| Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate
|
| We’ve been always fighting for
|
| Our land forevermore
|
| The empire’s blade for a changing fate
|
| … the island’s fate forever
|
| May England’s people ever
|
| Know well our names and honour
|
| Our legacy …
|
| Will now the overrun armada rise again?
|
| Finally tide has turned
|
| I fear the menace of invasion is at hand …
|
| Hear me now, I have learned my lesson, please be gracious
|
| I shall never fail anymore! |
