Farewell

On a cold dark winter night

When the moon light owns the night

A mighty steamer born on Ireland

Came to see its end

With the speed of twenty one knots

As they go through the night

There was no time to escape its destiny

See now when the moon hits their eyes

As the only light they have

Out in the night you hear them crying

No time to say farewell

There was nothing we could do

More than enough were bound

To haunt the sea when the night was done

In the morning all was gone

Ancient stories tell of curse

And damnation on the ship

The voyage of their dreams

Turned into the nightmares

As they tried to lean to starboard side

They were hit by the ice

There was no time to escape its destiny

So see now when the deepest of sea

Come to claim the ship to its fate

Someone is screaming

Fear not you'll be dreaming

More than fifteen hundred

People in that water died
