Her name it means power Her silhouette brings fear No mercy for the dreadnaught When the sight at sea is clear She's defying every dancer Through mist, ice and snow Dominates the oceans And its depths below She spreads terror and death When her cannons spit lead She the ruler at sea Gladiator of steel In a dark and misty night She went for open sea Slipping through the allied maze Whose radar couldn't see Now the deadly game begun With the home flee on her tail And in the demonstration She sank the hood and the prince of waves Steaming on with dignity Continuing her mission Enjoying every victory Reloading the cannons Solem iron majesty Goddess of destruction With her banners high To the last confrontation Seventy-one torpedos Couldn't sank the battleship The bismarck become Ruderless because of one lucky hit She was to proud to bow Sunken by her own crew Now the glory lives on Gladiator of steel
