It was night

A starry moonless sight

Out in the mid Atlantic

There sailed a ship of light

She was big

This ship of luxury

Everything was peaceful

No safer place to be

And she sailed

Through the night

On her way

Down among the dead men

Down among the dead men

The band played

She sailed the virgin

She sailed the sea

Down among the dead men

Captain Smith

The master in command

A man with wealth of wisdom

A fine upstanding man

But the fog

He didn't hear the calls

The ice block was waiting

For fifteen hundred souls

And she sailed

Through the night

On her way

Down among the dead men

Down among the dead men

The band played

She sailed the virgin

She sailed the sea

Down among the dead men

Down among the dead men

And into history
