The Final Hour

(Save us tonight

From deep unknown

Time's running out

This is our final hour)

Water's closing in on left and right

From every side

Nowhere to run or to hide

Only a few lifeboats hanging around

Others have gone to sea twenty in one

Only twelve in the first

In Belfast they filled up with sixty men

And if you have money to spare

Then someone could save your life

Only way to find a way out

Is to go around the boat

And blinded you search for hope

Take control of your own life

When twenty other people

Try to find a way to survive

Save us tonight

From deep unknown

Time's running out

This is the final

Death lurks below

Nowhere to run

This is their final hour

Struck by ice in the middle of the night

The only thing to do is try to survive when

The water draws near

Only one degree and if you're lucky maybe two

The water will take your life

Lifebelts on and you're ready to go

You feel now how death crawls nearer

Who should we blame, should we blame the ice

Or the people who starred the boat?

Fifteen hundred people made their grave

Out in the water on that night (on that night)

Everyone will be remembered

See your life it flashes before your eyes

Save us tonight from deep unknown!

Time's running out!

This is the final hour!
