Crimson Tide

On a sandy beach a mile wide Blood remains from a crimson tide With our battle fought upon the sea The only survivor was me Since I alone can tell the tale On that fateful day our ships set sail To meet our foes both crew and master Most every heart aboard beat faster The wind was blowing waves were crashing Teeth were grit with lightning flashing Our banners waved and cannons roared And with each strike our spirits soared But as we neared our final breath As we sailed headlong into death There wasn't much that I recall Just that one armada would fall So in memory of that day History will forever say Ten thousand men are here no more One sailor washed up on the shore
