๐ Lyrics
The pale moon rose in its glory
Out on the Western town
She told a sad, sad story
Of the great ship that went down
It was the fourteenth day of April
Over the waves she rode
Sailing into tomorrow
To a golden age foretold
The night was black with starlight
The seas were sharp and clear
Moving through the shadows
The promised hour was near
Lights were holding stedy
Gliding over the foam
All the lords and ladies
Heading for their eternal home
The chandeliers were swaying
From the balustrades above
The orchestra was playing
Songs of faded love
The watchman, he lay dreaming
As the ballroom dancers twirled
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
Into the underworld
Leo took his sketchbook
He was often so inclined
He closed his eyes and painted
The scenery in his mind
Cupid struck his bosom
And broke it with a snap
The closest woman to him
He fell into her lap
He heard a loud commotion
Something sounded wrong
His inner spirit was saying
That he couldn't stand here long
He staggered to the quarterdeck
No time now to sleep
Water on the quarterdeck
Already three foot deep
Smokestack was leaning sideways
Heavy feet began to pound
He walked into the whirlwind
Sky splitting all around
The ship was going under
The universe had opened wide
The roll was called up yonder
The angels turned aside
Lights down in the hallway
Flickering dim and dull
Dead bodies already floating
In the double bottom hull
The engines then exploded
Propellers they failed to start
The boilers overloaded
The ship's bow split apart
Passengers were flying
Backward, forward, far and fast
They mumbled, fumbled, and tumbled
Each one more weary than the last
The veil was torn asunder
'Tween the hours of twelve and one
No change, no sudden wonder
Could undo what had been done
The watchman lay there dreaming
At forty five degrees
He dreamed that the Titanic was sinking
Dropping to her knees
Wellington he was sleeping
His bed began to slide
His valiant heart was beating
He pushed the tables aside
Glass of shattered crystal
Lay scattered roundabout
He strapped on both his pistols
How long could he hold out?
His men and his companions
Were nowhere to be seen
In silence there he waited for
Time and space to intervene
The passageway was narrow
There was blackness in the air
He saw every kind of sorrow
Heard voices everywhere
Alarm-bells were ringing
To hold back the swelling tide
Friends and lovers clinging
To each other side by side
Mothers and their daughters
Descending down the stairs
Jumped into the icy waters
Love and pity sent their prayers
The rich man, Mister Astor
Kissed his darling wife
He had no way of knowing
It'd be the last trip of his life
Calvin, Blake and Wilson
Gambled in the dark
Not one of them would ever live to
Tell the tale on the disembark
Brother rose up 'gainst brother
In every circumstance
They fought and slaughtered each other
In a deadly dance
They lowered down the lifeboats
From the sinking wreck
There were traitors, there were turncoats
Broken backs and broken necks
The bishop left his cabin
To help others in need
Turned his eyes up to the heavens
Said, "The poor are yours to feed"
Davey the brothel-keeper
Came out dismissed his girls
Saw the water getting deeper
Saw the changing of his world
Jim Dandy smiled
He never learned to swim
Saw the little crippled child
And he gave his seat to him
He saw the starlight shining
Streaming from the East
Death was on the rampage
But his heart was now at peace
They battened down the hatches
But the hatches wouldn't hold
They drowned upon the staircase
Of brass and polished gold
Leo said to Cleo
I think I'm going mad
But he'd lost his mind already
Whatever mind he had
He tried to block the doorway
To save all those from harm
Blood from an open wound
Pouring down his arm
Petals fell from flowers
'Til all of them were gone
In the long and dreadful hours
The wizard's curse played on
The host was pouring brandy
He was going down slow
He stayed right to the end and he
Was the last to go
There were many, many others
Nameless here forever more
They never sailed the ocean
Or left their homes before
The watchman, he lay dreaming
The damage had been done
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
And he tried to tell someone
The captain, barely breathing
Kneeling at the wheel
Above him and beneath him
Fifty thousand tons of steel
He looked over at his compass
And he gazed into its face
Needle pointing downward
He knew he'd lost the race
In the dark illumination
He remembered bygone years
He read the Book of Revelation
And he filled his cup with tears
When the Reaper's task had ended
Sixteen hundred had gone to rest
The good, the bad, the rich, the poor
The loveliest and the best
They waited at the landing
And they tried to understand
But there is no understanding
On the judgment of God's hand
The news came over the wires
And struck with deadly force
Love had lost its fires
All things had run their course
The watchman he lay dreaming
Of all the things that can be
He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
Into the deep blue sea
Out on the Western town
She told a sad, sad story
Of the great ship that went down
It was the fourteenth day of April
Over the waves she rode
Sailing into tomorrow
To a golden age foretold
The night was black with starlight
The seas were sharp and clear

[09:08.85] Of brass and polished gold
[09:13.12] Leo said to Cleo
[09:16.90] I think I'm going mad
[09:20.46] But he'd lost his mind already
[09:24.21] Whatever mind he had
[09:28.07] He tried to block the doorway
[09:32.11] To save all those from harm
[09:35.66] Blood from an open wound
[09:39.99] Pouring down his arm
[09:44.40] Petals fell from flowers
[09:48.18] 'Til all of them were gone
[09:51.61] In the long and dreadful hours
[09:55.24] The wizard's curse played on
[09:59.51] The host was pouring brandy
[10:03.32] He was going down slow
[10:07.38] He stayed right to the end and he
[10:10.61] Was the last to go
[10:15.06] There were many, many others
[10:18.56] Nameless here forever more
[10:22.76] They never sailed the ocean
[10:26.35] Or left their homes before
[10:30.68] The watchman, he lay dreaming
[10:34.22] The damage had been done
[10:38.52] He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
[10:42.04] And he tried to tell someone
[10:46.61]
[11:04.08] The captain, barely breathing
[11:07.24] Kneeling at the wheel
[11:11.31] Above him and beneath him
[11:15.12] Fifty thousand tons of steel
[11:19.14] He looked over at his compass
[11:23.28] And he gazed into its face
[11:26.87] Needle pointing downward
[11:30.85] He knew he'd lost the race
[11:34.69] In the dark illumination
[11:38.44] He remembered bygone years
[11:42.27] He read the Book of Revelation
[11:46.07] And he filled his cup with tears
[11:49.86] When the Reaper's task had ended
[11:53.94] Sixteen hundred had gone to rest
[11:58.26] The good, the bad, the rich, the poor
[12:02.34] The loveliest and the best
[12:05.80] They waited at the landing
[12:09.37] And they tried to understand
[12:13.47] But there is no understanding
[12:17.21] On the judgment of God's hand
[12:21.28] The news came over the wires
[12:25.35] And struck with deadly force
[12:29.32] Love had lost its fires
[12:32.93] All things had run their course
[12:37.22] The watchman he lay dreaming
[12:40.88] Of all the things that can be
[12:44.69] He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
[12:48.39] Into the deep blue sea
[12:51.51]
