On a cold dark winter night When the moon light owns the night A mighty steamer born on Ireland Came to see its end With the speed of twenty one knots As they go through the night There was no time to escape its destiny
See now when the moon hits their eyes As the only light they have
[Chorus:] Out in the night you hear them crying No time to say farewell There was nothing we could do More than enough were bound To haunt the sea when the night was done In the morning all was gone (From: http://www.elyrics.net)
Ancient stories tell of curse And damnation on the ship The voyage of their dreams Turned into the nightmares As they tried to lean to starboard side They were hit by the ice There was no time to escape its destiny So see now when the deepest of sea Come to claim the ship to its fate
[Chorus]
Someone is screaming Fear not you'll be dreaming More than fifteen hundred People in that water died
