High rolling waves
Give away and break For great beasts Embodied with steel Across the vast black sea A formation of death High sea fleet and grand fleet Heading for a battle so certain Thousands of men at arms With bravery towards glory or doom Here standing on deck On the dreadnoughts and cruisers With all of the heart filled with fear Yet strife and determination Here with the stain of the sea on skin Standing pale and grim To clash and crash them down The pitch black grave The horizon seem so distant and dark As the wind chills me to the bone How many shall die of us that are here now I must stand the test of battle High rolling waves Give away and break For great beasts Embodied with steel Across the vast black sea A formation of death Here standing on deck On the dreadnoughts and cruisers With all of the heart filled with fear Yet strife and determination Here with the stain of the sea on skin Standing pale and grim To clash and crash them down The pitch black grave 02. Last Line Of Defence
So this is the time
I see them closer now Great ships coming right at us Now there is no return The first of canon blasts The first of hundreds to come The first of ships been hit The first of many to go down Of all that I have seen And all that I have believed Nothing has been the bad All this confusion And the chaos all around Still there is no panic Somehow I still carry on The first of canon blasts The first of hundreds to come The first of ships been hit The first of many to go down 03. Burial Waters. Deepsome Graves
Another ship there blew
We've been hit here too If only this was through Will I die here with you God I really wish I knew My brothers a few hundred feet to my night I see them go down in a burning wreckage of flames The burning oil on the surface They burn, they drown Reign of fire, steel that crumble In rain of fire, enraged is the sea Under command of Admiral Beatty The squadron hunt the enemy south Taken by surprise, forced to retreat They did not know we foresaw their first draw Another ship there blew We've been hit here too If only this was through Will I die here with you Reign of fire, steel that crumble In rain of fire, enraged is the sea 04. Swift Turns Of War
After the Germans retreat
Our luck suddenly turned And hipper made us turn north Pursued by their dreadnoughts Somehow our plan did fail Two battle cruisers been sunk But we must prevail Yes, we must prevail So thus the tables had turned it seemed Little did they know what was to come The dreadnoughts close behind us came Straight into the blaze of Jellicoe's guns The swift turns of war Hear the bombardments roar The swift turns of war Hear the bombardments As they now roar And so the German fleet Once again in (temporary) defeat Fleeing for the Baltic Sea But we won't let that be The dreadnoughts close behind us came Straight into the blaze of Jellicoe's guns 05. The Stale Drownings

06. Battlespawn
Near the port of Great Yarmouth
92 feet of steel deep below A pride for our Kriegsmarine Here in august 1915 Commanded by Lieutenant Karl Gross 12 men and I set out for the northeast With our 18-inch torpedoes and our machine guns We were ready to repeat what had been done to Harpalyce Two days in wait, then on Sunday eve We spotted the Inverlyon, we steered to intercept We were meant to go aboard and set her alight... Near the port of Great Yarmouth 92 feet of steel deep below A pride for our Kriegsmarine Here in august 1915 Two days in wait, then on Sunday eve We spotted the Inverlyon, we steered to intercept With our 18-inch torpedoes and our machine guns We were ready to repeat what had been done to Harpalyce 07. Where Night Is Total
Now all is lost
We must turn back They knew our plan We fell into their trap Seems the Britts have won All hope is gone Under heavy fire The flames are reaching higher Just one grave error And the outcome was set for us One... grave... error Now all is lost We must turn back They knew our plan We fell into their trap Seems the Britts have won All hope is gone Under heavy fire The flames are reaching higher Here in the end of may Our fleets saddest day In our final draw We go down deep below In this battle of Jutland Where our German fleet was crushed In this battle of Jutland Where the reign of the sea was lost 08. Sealer Of Fates
A rapid guns blasts
The conning tower burst Splinters of steel flying inside Beheading the man beside me The lieutenant must be dead Cried deafening my ears And I see that I bleed But I don't know from where We drifted on tide And all of the shots kept coming I panicked and screamed Then we were gone Ribbled by shell splinter Filling with water and smoke We went down below Without having fired even a shot 09. The Blunted Weapon
We head back in disgrace
With the failed vision Of Kaiser Willhelm II So many lives we've lost This our blinded weapon Fell into depths and despair This nation's pride and honour Lost and beyond repair And so many dead Now on the ocean floor lie We head back in disgrace With the failed vision Of Kaiser Willhelm II So many lives we've lost What have we done All was in vain All blasts and fire Drew us insane With all the men that went down The cold waters embrace This our blinded weapon Fell into depths and despair This nation's pride and honour Lost and beyond repair And so many dead Now on the ocean floor lie |
