Masquerade
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 puts 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 too 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 hull from top to ground, shacken by its poke 


Cannons speak the fatal words, the language of death 
Wipes away too 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 too 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"
