Our Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
When Britain first, at Heaven's command
Arose from out the azure main;
Arose, arose, from out the azure main;
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."

[Verse 2]
The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall;
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."

[Verse 3]
Still more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful, from each foreign stroke;
More dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke;
As the loud blast, loud blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."

[Verse 4]
Thee, haughty tyrants never shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse, but arouse thy generous flame;
But work their woe, and thy renown.

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."

[Verse 5]
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine:
Thy cities shall with commerce shine:
All thine shall be, shall be the subject main,
And every shore it circles thine.

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."

[Verse 6]
The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair;
Shall to thy happy coast repair;
Oh Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crown'd,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.

"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves:
"Britons never never never will be slaves."
