scythian fate - mary rose lyrics
built on a dry-dock at portsmouth
a n0ble ship of the age
state of the art warship
she sailed with poise and pride in her sails
longbows, cannons and with her crew in detail
her name was the mary rose
the pride of the tudors’ fleet
from his castle at southsea
henry watched as his pride sank into the sea
in denial of the unfolding tragedy
torrents gushing through the gun-ports
plunging deep beneath the surface
deafening screams, sinking bubbles
abandon ship, god bless the mary rose
enemy ships spotted on the far horizon
with thrashing oars and wind in their sails
the french, they rush into the war
with speed they enter the solent strait
a reckless sharp turn with a freak gust of wind
now her hull begins to fill
the stranded ship tilts onto her side
and begins to submerge into its watery grave
so there her ghosts did remain
for four hundred and thirty seven years
muted and mostly forgotten
but just like their shipwreck sanctuary
silence will unravel and truth be told
so rise, now rise
salvaged from the sea
speak now mary rose
reveal your secrets
many centuries of lies
torrents gushing through the gun-ports
plunging deep beneath the surface
deafening screams, sinking bubbles
abandon ship, god bless the mary rose
fire
fire
fire
abandon ship, god bless the mary rose
fire
