The Great Palace of the Sea

One hundred years in our memories A palace upon the sea A maiden voyage over ice icy seas A terrible destiny Feast and joy, life is swell This is a true fairytale Join the dance, a waltz down to hell While the moon is shining pale Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy! She's a queen of steel From the Irish Sea See how proudly she rides the waves Caught in pride and human vanity We took the White Star line to our grave Destruction ahead, disaster in sight A sinister streak in the air A giant of ice disguised by the night Made all passengers cry in despair The night was black as raven wings When we sank to our watery grave Morning came with silent strings There weren't many to save Ship ahoy! Ship ahoy! She's a queen of steel from the Irish Sea See how proudly she rides the waves Caught in pride and human vanity We took the White Star line to our grave See the queen of steel From the Irish Sea Slowly sink beneath the waves While the band played: "Nearer my God to thee" We went singing to our grave
