Great sunken mistress
Take me to the depths of the sea.
Let me wallow in the whispers,
Coming from the murky darkness.

Iron giant slips beneath the surface.
The stars, now but invisible.
Moonlight can not touch her.
Cruel emptiness fills the air.

Barreling through the salty chaos,
In a desperate race for death.
Crashing into the muddy bottom,
She finds a watery grave.

In the lifeboats, lamentations.
The survivors far too few.
No Captain to take command,
He's gone down with his lady.

A young girl softly crying,
On this awful frigid night.
So little movement in the distance,
Is help even on the way?

At break of dawn, a rescue,
but no jubilation to be had,
Survivors far too few
and heartaches far too many.

Still, sunken mistress waits there,
For a day that won't ever come.
Just another dreary chapter,
in the great mysteries of the sea
