Changing Fate - Serenity

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!
