Over deze songtekst:

The Battle of Saints is de zeeslag bij Saintes of ook wel Les Saintes. Saintes is een eilandengroep van Guadeloupe dat je kunt vinden voor de kust van West-Afrika ter hoogte van Marokko. Het is een Frans departement. De zeeslag vond plaats in 1782. De Engelse marine vocht tegen de Franse marine. De Engelsen kwamen als overwinnaars uit de 3 dagen durende strijd. Het lied gaat over deze zeeslag.

De Grasse was samen met Bougainville de commandant van de Franse schepen. Bij de Engelsen waren dat Rodney en Hood.

Quest!
Set a course to the battle
Speed is our weapon of war
De Grasse will pay with his ichor
Blood, mutilation and gore
This is a mission of murder
Death is the freedom you crave
We are the agents of slaughter
Swift is the path to the grave

Breaking the line
Formidable rage
Raking their broadside with fire

Sail away, set sail into the blue horizon
Ride the waves, that guide our destiny
Sail away, today we fight and there will be
No mercy for those with no grave
No grave but the sea

Ride!
Now the winds are a-changing
Into the breach we will sail
Flanked by the Duke and the Bedford
Formidable charge cannot fail

Fire!
With a volley of grapeshot
Blood stains the ocean this day
We are the agents of slaughter
Swift is the path to the grave

Three thousand dead
France is defied
The Battle of Saintes will be mine

Sail away, set sail into the blue horizon
Ride the waves, that guide our destiny
Sail away, today we fight and there will be
No mercy for those with no grave
No grave but the sea

Sail away, set sail into the blue horizon
Ride the waves, that guide our destiny
Sail away, today we fight and there will be
No mercy for those with no grave
Sail away, set sail into the blue horizon
Ride the waves, that guide our destiny
Sail away, today we fight and there will be
No mercy for those with no grave
No grave but the sea
