So ends the tale of a hero With a true English heart Of a man who knows pain and sorrow And the fortunes in life Villain, then hero, then scapegoat was I Once I was knighted, now my star disappeared In a darkening sky
 
Never feared the enemy Not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can't negate I've been always fighting for, For my Queen forevermore The empire's blade for a changing fate
 
This news is too disappointing To ignore it, Sir Drake! Sunken ships and twelve thousand fallen, A disastrous mistake! You've been a daring, reliable man (I'm still that man!) Upright and loyal to his Queen and land Now our union must end
 
Never feared the enemy Not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can't negate We've been always fighting for Our land forevermore The empire's blade for a changing fate
 
 the island's fate forever May England's people ever Know well our names and honour Our legacy 
 
Will now the overrun armada rise again? Finally tide has turned I fear the menace of invasion is at hand  Hear me now, I have learned my lesson, please be gracious I shall never fail anymore!
