Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When Britain first at heaven's command
Arose out of the azure main
Arose, arose from, from out the azure main
This was the charter
The charter of the land
And guardian angels sang this strain
[Verse 2]
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
[Verse 3]
Still more majestic shall thou rise
More dreadful from each foreign stroke
More dreadful dreadful from each foreign stroke
As the loud blast that tears the skies
Serves but to root thy native oak
[Verse 4]
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
[Verse 5]
The haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame
All their attempts to bend thee down
All their all their attempts to bend thee down
But will arouse arouse thy generous flame
But work their woe and thy renown
[Verse 6]
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
[Verse 7]
The muses with freedom found
Shall to thy happy coast repair
Shall to thy happy happy coast repair
Blessed isle with matchless with matchless beauty crowned
And manly hearts to guard the fair
[Verse 8]
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the waves
Britons never ever will be slaves
