Rest In Piece Lyrics - Blessing In Disguise - Metal Church

Integrity of construction 

The best money can buy 

Her size is greater than any 

A Belfast shipyard's pride 

Signal flags spelled out the word 'Success' 

On her maneuvering trials 

Preservers and lifeboats were not in excess 

Unsinkable, no plans to save lives 

Athinai reports icebergs and field ice 

At seven bells ahead just five miles 

A black hulk against the night's darkness 

Disaster along starboard side 

Full speed astern were the orders 

It would do them no good 

No apparent collision 

A rip deep below the waterline 

Come at once, we have struck a berg interference in transmission 

The newest, largest ship afloat had two hours to live 

Lower all lifeboats, we have too few women and children first 

Distress rockets fill the air, abandon ship 

Sinking faster, every light ablaze 

Machinery, engines, crashing to the bow 

Arching vertical, stern points to the sky 

The great ship fractured everyone must die 

Watching their families make it to safety fifteen hundred went down 

The orchestra played to the last moment an eerie almost unreal sound 

The calm and icy North Atlantic Titanic's burial ground
