They Are Unfortunately Dead

I saw the mighty waves

They were crashing against the hull

The vessel would soon be forgotten

I was feeling the pain of them all

So far from the safety of shore

There's often a need to explore

The captain they thought was God

Incapable of a mistake

He had just finished a shot

Unfortunately it was too late

The trust that they put in one man

Had ended before it began

The liquid he chose to abuse

Apparently it was his muse

The passengers huddled in terror

Poor judgement and many an error

A sad and untimely end

The vessel would soon descend

The minute you step out that door

A chance that you will be no more

They are unfortunately dead

The end of the book as it's read

The faces have changed in the river

Unwillfully they died in terror

They are unfortunately dead

At the end of a book and it's red

A mistake that ended in error

That led to their dying in horror

Along the Western sea

There was a ship that once sailed

A date with destiny

It can no longer be found

The captain he new so well

Due south he'd end up in Hell
