Just a cursory look at the
blueprints here
Shows the weaknesses that
we have missed
How the water poured in
A three-hundred-foot gash
And caused the bow
to flood and to list
And then it filled to the top
Our separate watertight
compartments
And began to overflow
Because the walls in-between
the compartments
Are too low
She's only sinking
because these bulkheads
Stop a deck too low
But here's a thought
Take the line
And extend up
the walls to the brink
It's just a small redesing
But when it's done then
i know she can't sink
Like this Like this
Like this Like this
The ship will start to plunge
beneath the surface
The water lapping at our feet
Down sinks the bow
up flies the stern
To the sky
The panicked people in retreat
A thousand strong they'll climb up
Toward the aft deck
They'll cling there desperately
Like bees to a hive
There they'll hold fast
Doomed to the last
Lost and abandoned
and all still alive
A few of them will hang there
From the railings
As one by one they'll drop away
More than two-hundred-fifty feet
They will fall
And after that I cannot say
I will not say
The rest in swarms
will overrun the boat deck
They'll lose all sense
of right and wrong
It will be
Eevery man from himself
all right
The weak thrown
in with the strong
First class and third and second
Will mean nothing
And sheer humanity
alone will prevail
One single class
Brute harsh and crass
That's what will come
of the world that set sail
Autumn
Shall we all meet in the Autumn
Shall we all meet in the Autumn
