Warspite in the Battle of Crete

(Verse 1) In the Aegean's azure waters, where the sun kissed the sea, The mighty Warspite sailed so gallantly. With her guns at the ready, and her crew standing tall, She answered the call, she gave it her all. (Chorus) Warspite, oh Warspite, hero of the deep, In the Battle of Crete, your legacy we keep. With courage and valor, you faced the enemy's might, Warspite, oh Warspite, you shone in the fight. (Verse 2) May of '41, the Axis came in force, The skies dark with planes, on their ruthless course. Warspite stood her ground, her cannons did roar, Protecting the soldiers on that distant shore. (Chorus) Warspite, oh Warspite, hero of the deep, In the Battle of Crete, your legacy we keep. With courage and valor, you faced the enemy's might, Warspite, oh Warspite, you shone in the fight. (Bridge) From Souda Bay to Maleme, the battle raged on, With each strike and salvo, the Warspite led strong. She weathered the storms, and the bombs from the skies, A beacon of hope, with unwavering eyes. (Verse 3) With the dawn's early light, as the fight carried through, Warspite’s guns thundered, defending the crew. She took on the damage, but never backed down, A legend in war, with her steel and renown. (Chorus) Warspite, oh Warspite, hero of the deep, In the Battle of Crete, your legacy we keep. With courage and valor, you faced the enemy's might, Warspite, oh Warspite, you shone in the fight. (Outro) Now the tides have grown calm, and the battle is past, But the memory of Warspite, forever will last. In the annals of history, her name is enshrined, Warspite, oh Warspite, a hero for all time.
