Queen Above The Oceans
Hail to you my King above the mountains
High and proud
this pale tribute, at your feet
I lay before you now
Standing with the legions of Megido
I have been
A witness to damnation of
a wild colonial boy
Hail to you my queen above the oceans
Forever cold
your silvery shroud of wisdom
only now do I behold
Midnight’s softer word of prayer
Spoke ‘gainst an early wind
safe crossing and remembrance of
a wild colonial boy
Hail to you Beloved, cross dark waters
Have I strayed
Forever lost in distance still
the song of you shall fade
No more the mortal embrace
of your arms about me now
until the last redemption of
a wild colonial boy
