The headlines read this was a night

we always shall remember

daughter of the emerald island

taken by the sea.

What went wrong? How could this be so?

That was not the story they told.

She was born to wear

The badge of unsinkable.

Sail forever never dying.

More than strong, Indestructible.

The waves can't break her down.

Liberty, that shining woman.

Tarnished by the promise.

The flame she holds has lost its glow.

Turned from gold to green.

Leaving from the Liverpool dock,

The air is thick with fire and rust.

To the new world.

God speed you unsinkable.

Goodbye.

Hands wave and smiles are crying.

Hurry home, we will wait for you.

The world is yours _ travel on.

Out of the dark came a mountain of glass.

The beauty of it's crystal

Hides a dark and deadly secret.

Struck by the rock with no  hate or remorse.

cut below the water line,

A wound that will not heal.

Velvet shrouded buck-shot sky

was all illumination.

Shine down on the ink-black glass,

cold as silent silk.

The band was playing three quarter time.

Dance on Dancers for the last time.

They were safe and warm

on this night.

unforgettable.

This is their night they will live forever

nothing could go wrong.

How unthinkable.

The greatest time for them all.

Out of the dark came a mountain of glass.

The beauty of it's crystal

Hides a dark and deadly secret.

Struck by the rock with no  hate or remorse.

cut below the water line,

A wound that will not heal.
