[Verse 1]
大航海時代のトップランナー
新大陸から巨大な富
ハプスブルク家が支配する
太陽の沈まぬ帝国 スペイン
[Pre-Chorus]
最盛期を築いたフェリペ2世
カトリックの盟主として
ヨーロッパに君臨した
無敵艦隊「アルマダ」を率いて
[Chorus]
でも栄光は長く続かない
オランダが独立戦争を仕掛け
イギリスの海賊 ドレークに敗れ
無敵艦隊は敗北した
[Verse 2]
レパントの海戦では
オスマン＝トルコを打ち破り
カトリック世界を守った英雄
でも栄光はその時までだった
[Bridge]
新大陸からの銀がインフレを招き
国内の産業は育たない
栄光の裏側で
帝国は静かに朽ち果てていった
[Outro]
オランダ イギリスへ
海の覇権は移っていく
絶対王政の
光と影の
