Its about the sinking of the R M S Titantic |
Dreams and ambitions have crossed Britans eye. A city at seas to one day sail under God's starry sky. It shall be massive made from rivots and steel. Eight hundred and eighty two feet to stay afloat backboned. By hundreds of boatyards realms. Inspiration has filled a countrie's resolve Inovation for the new and out with the old Who wil venture to make such a dream come to life Something so grand as this will take years to define Laborers and welders are called to come in To commence wok on a project that seems to have no end Months have passed with sweat brimming down boatmen's eyes As a dream of the future has met it' deadline To see so many people with smiles running across each face To have accomplished such a task in record pace The question now rings through Whie tar Lines Who will Captian this vessel through the oceans tides Weeks go by before a man is chosen But in the end the good Captian EJ is unanonymously voted With great applause he accepts this task wh the nod ohs cap Unaware of the chaos soon to attack April 10, 1912, a ship of grandure sits in Harbor Liverpool"s mouth You can smell the paint as if it had just come off the line With ropes attached to a ship so devine So their she sits, what an emaculant sight Ready for it's maiden voyage across agreat ocean at Captian and crews delight Many now come from abroad Most holding third class tickets Livig in sterage in cabinss small Was it a curse to sysucha shipcoul not plunder While claps andscrams resignte like thunder A tuboat toot signals last call As men, women and children file into this giant's hull Golden vents crackle now with th steam of burnng coal This city of seas purpelles now churnig, carying 2200 souls Waves of godbye come from all decks Out to see there she glides As swans from above do so fly Was this a day of days t truley marvel Before almost coliding with another boats rumble All you see now is ocean blue A ship to make records, to ew York they persue With on stop t make on this infamous journey Docking for moments at Irelands gurney Off they go quickening pace Uncertian of the nigtmars soon to be faced A day has passed on such a wonderous day Passengers unaware of the dept soon to be paid The good Captian anounces they picking up sped While iceburg warnings come to thee Parties ar commne with brandy and cigars As the wealthy talkof money and cars Life on deck comes with peace and ease Laugter and joy come from walking aboard with a calm gentle breeze Another day ends, but not for all The crowsmen will see the culprit to this giant's downfall At the eye of the man, the tyrant does stand. Ice as big as a mountian storming in this mamoths way The crowsmen alerts all decks to stop in it' tracks Now a ship meant to break records is shreding steel a ice rips through With no time to spare, orders where given To reverse all systems and shut down all engines To late where they as destiny has come Taking in it's wake, a ship sp young Clashing was heard all through the dwecks Ice ripping a gash through the hull, sparing no time for any defence Compartments are flooding, as so many are running Could this ship have ever been saved Chaotic mayhem now spreads through the choridors Of men, women and childrten, crying, knowing, most will be slain The bow sinks lowe as the water moves even slower to claim all life aboard Certianly unexpected, for no one can be protected on this cold desolint night The order has been given to save all women and children from this cold frightning sights Lights now start to flicker as the mercilless water pulls the ship even deeper Water moves faster as there is no time to master a plan to save everyone The good Captian's realization fights the sensation to jump, but rather go down in glory to this infamous story of the grandest ship of it's generation Lifeboats now carry survivors so weary afraid to go back and rescue those cleft behind Rips now split down the center seam Giving no warning as the bow now is no longer seen Screaming and begging climbs up the stern's legging As it's the last to go The water so freezing,leaving no time for thinking As fifteen hundred die off so very slow A ship now missed, a titan it was can only be seen under the water's abyss |
