Falconer - Man Of The Hour Lyrics

Heading into the battle
Against inferior foe
Early morning's sea lies so silent and clear
Let them feel a broadside
From our three decker of pride
Let the enemy fleet shatter for the wind

The man of the hour
In a challenging game
He rose to power
By his fam'ly name

The man of the hour
In the lion's den
Wielding his power
While dooming his men

With gun ports open
And without striking sail
He turned the ship around
To chase the Danes away

The wind made the ship heel
Causing panic aboard
Cannons, men and cargo
They all broke astray

The man of the hour
In a challenging game
He rose to power
By his fam'ly name

The man of the hour
In the lion's den
Wielding his power
While dooming his men

Lower decks were flooded
Chaos and agony
The morning air was filled
With an aria of cries

Crewmen jumped the rail now
Choosing ice before the fire
Down from powder deck
They saw the smoke arise

The man of the hour
In a challenging game
He rose to power
By his fam'ly name

The man of the hour
In the lion's den
Wielding his power
While dooming his men

Danes in confusion
Surprisingly greet
The self termination
Of the Swedish fleet

Without firing a round
On the stronger foe
They're victory bound as
'The Crown' went below
