Going To Sleep

As I walk toward my cabin I do so without any fears
UNSINKABLE! Thousands of highly trained Irishmen built this ship
I change my mind as I head toward the deck, the ocean she is so calm and clear
I look over the rail of ths ship staring down at the sea, but what is thisI see? To me it looks like ice chips.

So cold the wind as it blows. I bet it blows across peices of ice
As I walk farther down the deck, so many people still wake
It's almost midnight I think, usually being up this late for most, others think just isn't nice
But being on a big ship most people think if they sleep they will miss something so it is better to be awake.

Every thing seems to be going along s normal as can be
But all of a sudden a strange vibration and sound
I look to the side and see a gigantic iceberg,see
People yelling, screaming, and running all around.

Unsinkable? Right! I think God just proved us wrong
After awhile it finally sinks in this ship will flounder and die
How many of us this night will sing death's morbid song?
Freezing to death, I have always heard is just like going to sleep, I do hope this is the way I die.

I pray to God most of us will die this very way
Life boats being lowered over the side. Women and children first! Hurry, we can't afford any delays
The lifeboats being lowered into a sea so cold and deep
"Nearer My God To Thee" the band slowly and sadly plays.
