jeremy asked me to get this to natopia asap
When news of the Heroes of the turn of the year reached UCS an official song was released to the tune of the floral dance www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElnCI1fkfFMand it was sung throughout the Númenorean Empire to celebrate the heroic survival of the 2008.
"I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the rockets, catherine wheels and big loud bangs
cracks, whizzes, big deathening blasts
yellow, green and bright red flames
Far away, as in the distance
I heard the sound of the Admiral James' last chance
As they sailed alone on a Summer night
When stars in Heav'n were shining bright
Far away came a rockets glare
Into the cold and salty air
Above where the Westernesse went down
Borne from afar on the gentle breeze
Joining the murmur of the summer seas
Distant tones of a massive bang
Sounding from the Sabre perchance
On the calm seas it came floating down
I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the rockets, catherine wheels and big loud bangs
cracks, whizzes, big deathening blasts
yellow, green and bright red flames
Far away, as in the distance
I heard the sound of the Admiral James' last chance
I heard the sound of the Admiral James' last chance
And soon I heard such a blasting and banging
And then I saw the whole ship was burning
In and out of the decks they came
Senior officers, young recruits, all the same
Above where the Westernesse went down
After all the rockets were placed
And sped forward with tremendous haste
Whether they knew they would survive I care not
Whether they cared at all, I know not
But they cheered as they sailed along.
I thought I could hear the curious tone
Of the rockets, catherine wheels and big loud bangs
cracks, whizzes, big deathening blasts
yellow, green and bright red flames
Far away, as in the distance
I heard the sound of the Admiral James' last chance
I heard the sound of the Admiral James' last chance
Sailing here, not sinking there
Speeding, speeding ev'rywhere
Up and down, and round the sea
Hurrah! For the Sabre's last given chance!"
