only an iceberg

it is only an iceberg one of the underlings said
captain of this ship knew most would be dead
He had not wanted to eliminate all of those boats
but the promoters thought this beast would always float

only an iceberg, and the ship disappeared into the sea
with fifteen hundred people lost in the bowels of history
on her maiden voyage, this glorious vessel went down
For a disaster in history, the Titanic wears the crown
