Man  Of  The  Hour  -  Falconer

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
