Poem
They were as Jonah was, cast down into the belly of the whale They were soon to experience every unimaginable horror on this ship of hell On the voyage of the damned, you hear the cries of the condemned Be prepared to die as well, unless God chooses to intervene A lot of souls won't make it on the food they were given to eat Rancid water, spoiled bread and maggot infested meat That rank disgusting swill, you wouldn't even give to a dog It had the most foul stench ever, as if dredged from the filthiest bog On the voyage of the damned, you hear the cries of the condemned Be prepared to die as well, unless the captain wants to hear you sing You got whipped for moaning too loud, 'cause you're hurting from being whipped before You got beaten longer than the last time, as someone you knew was getting beat even more The drunken prince and the devout priest are both chained and bound together The greatest as well as the least are each tossed off during stormy weather On the voyage of the damned, you hear the cries of the condemned Be prepared to die as well, unless the cook becomes your friend Tortured wails in the night prevent you from getting much sleep You can't afford to get too sick from the rough waves of the deep Or you'll get pitched overboard to the insatiable trailing fins Don't be the last to follow orders, or you'll be the next one thrown in On the voyage of the damned, you hear the cries of the condemned Be prepared to die as well, unless your body can satisfy ten men You're surrounded by diseased walls and an unbreakable trap door Your clothes reek of a piss odor from laying on the excrement covered floor Each day you desire death within this cruel house of motion Each night you always pray this death ship sinks in the ocean On the voyage of the damned, you hear the cries of the condemned But if that ship of woe reaches land, a new and different kind of hell is awaiting
