Lyrics
[Intro] [Oarlock Clank & Eight Oars Slicing Water Foley]
Clank, pull... thirty-eight strokes per minute on the lake
A synchronized power for our victory's sake!
[Verse 1] [Heavy Rhythm Guitar and Driving Beat]
Carbon fiber rowing shell sixty feet long and narrow
Flying across the water like an arrow
Eight rowers moving in complete harmonic phase
Through the morning water and the misty haze
Coxswain shouting the cadence through the speaker loud
Making our rowing nation proud
Two thousand meters of burning lactic pain
Washing away every ounce of worldly strain
[Pre-Chorus] [Snare Roll and Bass Pulse]
Bow ball crosses the finish line by two inches ahead
Following where our synchronized teamwork led
[Chorus] [Synchronized Powerful Rowing Drop]
Eight carbon oars slicing the water in perfect sync
Faster than the opposition even can think
Across the Olympic rowing lake of Eton Dorney
At the glorious climax of our sporting journey
Pull hard, slide smooth, let the boat lift free
In the finest exhibition of rowing majesty
[Verse 2] [Felt Piano and Bassline]
We collapse on our handles with exhausted pride
With our eight brothers resting side by side
The horn sounds for the gold medal crew
Making our Olympic rowing dreams come true
[Bridge] [Soulful Vocal Belt and Guitar Solo]
Oh, rowing eights are masterpieces of the team
Living inside an immortal sports dream
Oars, boats, lakes and an honest heart
Where every noble victory has to start
[Chorus] [Synchronized Powerful Rowing Drop]
Eight carbon oars slicing the water in perfect sync
Faster than the opposition even can think
Across the Olympic rowing lake of Eton Dorney
At the glorious climax of our sporting journey
Pull hard, slide smooth, let the boat lift free
In the finest exhibition of rowing majesty
[Outro] [Finish Horn & Eight Rowers Panting in Joy]
Rowing eight gold...
Two inches ahead!
[Fade Out]
[End]
