Titanic: En La Coeur De La Mer

They are the walking dead; I know their fate and see their dismay. How they scurry, fury, and grapple to go – Running in circles to try and save their own. Ninety-two spheres gone by As I sit here and watch Their lives gone awry. “Put your top-hat and coat on, Sir – It’s bound to be a very cold night”. Below I feel the quaking rise Of water threatening at the bow’s side. Approaching tides, pending encroach, Those left behind Not good enough to be let go. En la Coeur de la mer: I see your face But I can’t help you there. The rats in the hallway Will show you the way out. Keep them down below, An iron gate holds – their doom is foretold. “I need your help…wait!...Hello?” I’m sorry there’s just no more room to behold. “For God’s sake man - There are women and children down here!” En la Coeur de la mer I look to you And give forth my fears. All the strength and wisdom I had always counted upon in life Will not save me this night. And all my wealth will not bring me To the front of this line. All the grandeur of my time will be left behind – The others are mostly gone: Here…I’ll play you a final tune, For the dead are walking And I am amongst you.
