Iceberg Dead Ahead

Verse 1

Setting Sail, 2000 lives
A one way ticket no return
The final destination concealed from your eyes
Kingdom born you travel to the land of the free
Poseidon’s grasp of death comes from under the sea

Chorus

Fast approaching death
Iceberg dead ahead
The captain cannot see
The icy depths that wait for me

Verse 2

The bow sinks down, the stern ascends
Split in half from end to end
Panic struck the sea attacks
Impending death as rivets crack

Frozen corpses litter the sea
Preserved in silent agony
21 knots too fast for you
Hoping the end will come too soon

Outro

Hold onto the railings as you contemplate your death
Your grip loosens, you start to fall
You draw your final breath
