LYRICS:

Praise who made this ship, and he who captained it.
May we praise. Praise the Sun’s enlightening rays that led this trip,
and praise the prizes claimed of it.

Praise.
(Praise! Praise! Praise!)
Praise the hero who refused to die.
Praise the courage of he who denied ever-violent tides.

Praise Theseus, who hath slain the beast!
Praise he we trust, who hath lain our peace!

It must stay just;
free from flaw and rust.
Replace parts we can’t now trust.
(Praise! Praise! Praise!)
These seas were kind just once.
But now, the duty falls to us.
And so, it is thus:
A ship that sailed so verily will live in posterity.
It will sail free.
Each and every piece.

So, we’ll pray.
(Praise! Praise! Praise!)
We will party till the night is day.
We will drink. We will feast. We will play.
We will sing so that it may not decay.
He will hear us say

“Oh, Theseus, may our praises reach!
(Praise! Praise! Praise!)
Apollo’s golden light shines on thee!
Hark! Athens’ children roam free!
We commend thee!”

We can’t let such craft adept fall weak and frail.
Delos-bound, with grace profound, we’ll humbly, gently tend these sails.
Through time, it will prevail.
