We head back in disgrace
With the failed vision
Of Kaiser Willhelm II
So many lives we've lost
This our blinded weapon
Fell into depths and despair
This nation's pride and honour
Lost and beyond repair
And so many dead
Now on the ocean floor lie
We head back in disgrace
With the failed vision
Of Kaiser Willhelm II
So many lives we've lost
What have we done
All was in vain
All blasts and fire
Drew us insane
With all the men that went down
The cold waters embrace
This our blinded weapon
Fell into depths and despair
This nation's pride and honour
Lost and beyond repair
And so many dead
Now on the ocean floor lie
