Candida Navis Lyrics

A royale voyage on the seas

Let the tale be told

Oh liege oh lord guide this ship

As we set sail along the coast

"Bring us wine!", the sailors cried

The ship swiftly braves the waves

Tis the hour for us to sing!

Under the stars of winter

No more! The vessel is struck hard

Three hundred lives will be cast to the deep

The churning, choking ship to fall

You row for your lives

So sudden is the shock

And severe is the anguish

Clinging to debris

The mourning sorrowful king

A prince once full of pride

And a man of little grace

Sacrificed his life to the sea's grip

Only god knows where his soul resides

No more! The vessel is struck hard

As the nobles drown in the deep

The churning, choking ship to fall

Row for your lives

Your curses and prayers are made in vein

Lost is the prince

Woe is me

The morning sun rises on the water

A time of anarchy, and a time of civil war

The realm's rule will never be the same
