| 1692, the 29th of May
|
| Sir «Tourville», the admiral, his fleet is on its way
|
| He commands his ships to fight, they attack the british line
|
| He must be caught in senseless pride, to him his honour’s prime
|
| His mighty flagship strong and brave, heading for the fight
|
| It pets the british men to grave, cruising through the tide
|
| The veil of night obscures the sea, the tables getting turned
|
| Confusion rules, no chance to flee, his fleet is getting burned
|
| Cannons speak the fatal words, the language of death
|
| Wipes away to many men, takes away their breath
|
| Heat and fire, burning pyre
|
| Smoke and flames, a raging hell
|
| Death and blood, the fatal rub
|
| Blows away «Soleil Royal»
|
| Their position’s getting intricate, heading for «Cherbourg»
|
| Desperatly they dare their fate, they feel too much secured
|
| Cannons fire round by round, the smell of acred smoke
|
| Vibrating full from top to ground, shacken by its poke
|
| Cannons speak the fatal words, the language of death
|
| Wipes away to many men, takes away their breath
|
| Heat and fire, burning pyre
|
| Smoke and flames, a raging hell
|
| Death and blood, the fatal rub
|
| Blows away «Soleil Royal»
|
| To cape «Barfleur» they try to flee, the battle’s raging hard
|
| Balls of lead rushing the sea, hit the hull windward
|
| The english-man hard on their trace, follow turn by turn
|
| A heavy round, the coupe de grace, tearing up its stern
|
| The powder in the storage room, litten by a spark
|
| Bursting kegs, a giant boom, tear the decks apart
|
| The blood spills of the scupperholes, the sea is turning red
|
| No time to pray, no bell to toll, no burial for the dead
|
| Cannons speak the fatal words, the language of death
|
| Wipes away to many men, takes away their breath
|
| Heat and fire, burning pyre
|
| Smoke and flames, a raging hell
|
| Death and blood, the fatal rub
|
| Blows away «Soleil Royal»
|
| Heat and fire, burning pyre
|
| Smoke and flames, a raging hell
|
| Death and blood, the fatal rub
|
| Blows away «Soleil Royal» |
