Trafalgar History
(21 October 1805)
The Franco-Spanish fleet sailed South,
From oldCadizsailed out;
Sailed out to history.
Englandwas waiting for them there;
Nelson was waiting near;
Waiting for history.
TrafalgarBaywas where they met;
Trafalgar where they fought;
Trafalgar: history!.
Guns flamed, guns roared, shot tore their sheets:
Flamed, roared and smashed their ships;
Guns blaring history.
Heroes, on both sides, in melée
Lived, fought and died that day;
Heroes of history.
The victory toEnglandcame;
Brought dying Nelson fame;
The fame of history.
