| Sailing the raging seas | |
| To distant lands unknown | |
| Porto Bello fell in a day | |
| Now Britannia rules the waves | |
| Thirty thousand men at arms | |
| Red Ensign in the sky | |
| To Cartagena we set sail | |
| With blood and plunder we‘ll prevail | |
| Twice struck, and twice we‘ve failed | |
| But third time works a charm | |
| The greatest fleet the world has seen | |
| To fight the War of Jenkins‘ Ear | |
| Waters lash across the bow | |
| Through Caribbean Seas | |
| The year is 1741 | |
| The final battle has begun | |
| The skies are burning with thunder | |
| The seas are ablaze with flame | |
| Set the course for Cartagena | |
| The sands of time will remember our names | |
| The skies are burning with thunder | |
| The seas are ablaze with flame | |
| Set the course for Cartagena | |
| History is written today | |
| Across the sea-lashed deck | |
| Our captain gives a cry | |
| „Cartagena lies ahead | |
| The Spanish foe will soon be dead!“ | |
| Portents of coming doom | |
| Engulf the battle line | |
| High above, the heavens sigh | |
| A red light burning in the sky | |
| An omen of dread | |
| Which no man can deny | |
| The legends hold true | |
| We must turn back or die | |
| Superstitious fools | |
| Be gone from my sight | |
| Blast the trumpets of war | |
| And prepare for the fight | |
| The skies are burning with thunder | |
| The seas are ablaze with flame | |
| Set the course for Cartagena | |
| The sands of time will remember our names | |
| The skies are burning with thunder | |
| The seas are ablaze with flame | |
| Set the course for Cartagena | |
| History is written today | |
| Hard to starboard | |
| Man the cannons | |
| And on my command, unleash hell! | |
| FIRE! Show them your steel | |
| Bring them to death on the battlefield | |
| Ride on the wind, and conquer the foe | |
| The legends be damned, to our deaths we will ago | |
| The skies are burning with thunder | |
| The seas are ablaze with flame | |
| Set the course for Cartagena | |
| The sands of time will remember our names | |
| The skies are burning with thunder | |
| The seas are ablaze with flame | |
