Ode to the Szent István

[Verse] Iron bones on a restless tide Her heart of steel could never hide She sailed the storm with fearless pride Until the waves claimed what she denied [Verse 2] Born to guard with a steadfast roar A fortress afloat in the face of war Yet even giants fall to the ocean floor And history whispers forevermore [Chorus] Oh Szent István the sea's embrace Took your glory left no trace But your legend sails through time and space A ghostly hymn in the water's face [Verse 3] The Adriatic sang her dirge When fate and torpedoes began to merge The silent depths became her purge Her tale survives in every surge [Bridge] She was more than bolts and fire A nation's dream her lone desire But the waves are cruel they never tire Her fall lit history's funeral pyre [Chorus] Oh Szent István the sea's embrace Took your glory left no trace But your legend sails through time and space A ghostly hymn in the water's face
