Royal Galley Lyrics - Falconer

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 

Ohh, ohh 

Breaking waves oh, so high 

Ohh, ohh 

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 imposing galley twists and turns 

Struggling in the wild waves 

Royal galley sailing no more 

Ohh, ohh 

The ship is doomed forevermore 

Ohh, ohh 

Royal galley sailing no more 

Ohh, ohh 

The ship is doomed forevermore 

Ohh, ohh 

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 

Ohh, ohh 

Down in the deep, restin' in peace 

Ohh, ohh 

Royal galley lost at sea 

Ohh, ohh 

Down in the deep, restin' in peace 

Ohh, ohh 

Royal galley lost at sea 

Restin' in peace
