Set sail into the fog of war with “Grand Fleet Eternal”, a thunderous power metal anthem inspired by the Battle of Jutland, where the Royal Navy met the German High Seas Fleet in the greatest naval clash of World War I.

Lyrics:

From Scapa Flow we thunder north,
The pride of empire steaming forth.
With Jellicoe’s cold iron will,
And Beatty’s rage, we hunt to kill.
The battle line in silence looms,
Across the Skagerrak’s grey tomb.
The Kaiser’s fleet, they dared to fight—
Now we shall test their metal might!

Lion roars, our fate is cast,
Steel meets steel, and fire blasts!

Queen Mary burns, but still we stay!
Though torn by flame and battered mast,
The Grand Fleet fights—stands unsurpassed!
Iron Duke commands the night,
Jellicoe wheels into the fight!
We strike with wrath, our duty done—
The Empire’s war is never won…
…But never lost.

The seas erupt in fire and pain,
Invincible lives not again.
The German fleet, they punch and run—
But flee the wrath of Albion’s guns.
Our walls of steel, the Dreadnoughts line,
Held fast beneath the fading brine.
Though ships may sink and men may fall,
We held the line — we gave it all.

Horns of brass and thunder’s sound,
But British hearts hold battle ground!

We paid the price, but made them pay.
From Lion’s decks to Neptune’s jaws,
We fought for King, for Fleet, for cause.
Steel and honor, fear no grave—
We ruled the storm, we faced the wave!*
Our ships may fall, but never we—
Grand Fleet shall guard the endless sea!

"There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today."
— Vice Admiral David Beatty, 31 May 1916

Though fire rained and decks were torn,
The salt and smoke of glory sworn—
We held the sea, we paid the cost…
But never once was Britain lost!
Our flags still fly, our hearts still burn—
Let tyrants come, they’ll never learn!
From Jutland’s depths to Dover’s shore—
The Grand Fleet stands, forevermore!
