🎤 Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Launched from steel and British pride,
The Hood set sail on the ocean wide.
The flagship of the Royal might,
A fortress born for the naval fight.

Through Atlantic waves and foreign seas,
She roared with power in the salty breeze.
A symbol of strength, a legend bold,
The Pride of the Fleet, in stories told.

Pre-Chorus:
From the Med to the Arctic cold,
The Hood stood tall and uncontrolled.

Chorus:
Pride of the Fleet, on the ocean’s roar,
A shadow of thunder from shore to shore.
With guns ablaze and armor bright,
She sailed the seas, a beacon of might.
But in the waves where heroes tread,
The Hood met fate, and the sea ran red.
Pride of the Fleet, forever gone,
The legend lives, the battle’s song.

Verse 2:
In May of forty-one she sailed,
To meet the foe that none had hailed.
The Bismarck’s guns, a deadly call,
Two giants clashed, one doomed to fall.

A salvo struck with deadly speed,
A mighty roar as the Hood did bleed.
A flash of fire, a broken keel,
The ocean claimed her iron and steel.

Pre-Chorus:
With smoke and flame, the battle raged,
A chapter closed, a war’s dark page.

Chorus:
Pride of the Fleet, on the ocean’s roar,
A shadow of thunder from shore to shore.
With guns ablaze and armor bright,
She sailed the seas, a beacon of might.
But in the waves where heroes tread,
The Hood met fate, and the sea ran red.
Pride of the Fleet, forever gone,
The legend lives, the battle’s song.

Bridge:
Three men survived to tell the tale,
Of a ship that fought but could not prevail.
Yet in their hearts, the Hood sails on,
A ghostly figure in the dawn.

A symbol of courage, sacrifice,
Of sailors' lives paid the highest price.
The Royal Navy’s shining star,
A memory of war’s cruel scar.

Chorus:
Pride of the Fleet, on the ocean’s roar,
A shadow of thunder from shore to shore.
With guns ablaze and armor bright,
She sailed the seas, a beacon of might.
But in the waves where heroes tread,
The Hood met fate, and the sea ran red.
Pride of the Fleet, forever gone,
The legend lives, the battle’s song

Outro:
Beneath the waves, she lies in rest,
The Hood, the brave, the very best.
Pride of the Fleet, her name lives on,
In every wave and every dawn.
