If only you knew,
The other side.
You know the one,
We learn to hide.
Life and death so absolute.
The Wolf and sheep are deaf and mute.
Heart of love,
Heart of hate,
Tell me now-
Which has a gate?
You will sleep.
You're body will fail.
You can't escape.
The ship set sail.

(RIP Titanic April 15, 1912)
So near my God to thee, his spirit calms -
there is no arrogance unsinkable -
its icy fingers melt within the psalms,
and hopeless paths become unthinkable.
The frozen ships of white drift through the night
along with lunar winds on cosmic breath.
Clandestine vessels on a fated flight
now sink with solemn prayers that measure death.
So cold the sea, so cold its blanket warms -
the din that's all about at once is stilled
and stars meet at the sea, and there they swarm,
together in a peace that's now fulfilled.
Up to the heavens float a holy wraith
that beckons and renews undying faith...

She grew resplendent on the docks,
Growing upwards from below,
A magnificent sight to behold,
A luxurious hotel to sail the sea,
Rich, famous and poor all looked on in awe,
"Unsinkable" they said,
But mistakes where made,
Hitting an iceberg below, she slowly sank,
Some saved but most died,
The fascination with the Titanic to be evermore,
Sitting on the bottom of the sea bed rusting away,
A monument for those that stayed on board.

However far we go our bond
won’t break for it is strong
no place or time too go beyond
will make our bond be gone
If friends need me I’m in for it
they show it back we’re infinite
forever will our flame be lit
for nothing can extinguish it
Let bygones be bygones
goodbyes don’t mean gone
tied strong is our bond
forever and beyond

'Twas claimed Titanic was unsinkable.
To think otherwise was unthinkable!
Alas, she met her fate,
Because she swerved too late!
Tangling with ice cubes proved it sinkable!

In the twinkle of the night, she skips along the trails through the forest. The
moonlight shines upon her face. She smiles jauntily and her eyes sparkles
like a twinkling star. Reeling with unfettered joy, she leaps upon her toes and
she dance mirthful through the forest in the moonlight like an angel that come
down from heaven.
