Crashing through the raging sea flagship of the line
Commander of the English fleet the greatest of her time
Searching the horizon a thousand leagues or more
Mighty winds will carry you onto bloody war

Let the four winds blow
The tempest come
Let the seas run high
Till the battle's won
Let the cannons roar
English men of war

Built of oak hard as steel masters of the sea
Six thousand yards of sail she flies into liberty
Call to arms man the deck soon the guns will roll
Ram the ball and load the shot the fight will take its toll

Let the four winds blow
The tempest come
Let the seas run high
Till the battle's won
Let the cannons roar
English men of war

Hear the sound of iron shot smashing down the mast
Ripping through the flesh and bone ship's company stands fast
The battle raged on through the night flagship of the line
Bathed in pride and glory the greatest of her time
