Tempest[00:00:05]

The pale moon rose in its glory[00:00:23]

Out on the Western town[00:00:27]

She told a sad, sad story[00:00:31]

Of the great ship that went down[00:00:35]

T'was the fourteenth day of April[00:00:39]

Over the waves she rode[00:00:43]

Sailing into tomorrow[00:00:47]

To a golden age foretold[00:00:50]

The night was black with starlight[00:00:55]

The seas were sharp and clear[00:00:58]

Moving through the shadows[00:01:02]

The promised hour was near[00:01:06]

Lights were holding steady[00:01:10]

Gliding over the foam[00:01:14]

All the lords and ladies[00:01:18]

Heading for their eternal home[00:01:22]

The chandeliers were swaying[00:01:26]

From the balustrades above[00:01:29]

The orchestra was playing[00:01:33]

Songs of faded love[00:01:37]

The watchman, he lay dreaming[00:01:41]

As the ballroom dancers twirled[00:01:45]

He dreamed the Titanic was sinking[00:01:49]

Into the underworld[00:01:53]

Leo took his sketchbook[00:02:13]

He was often so inclined[00:02:16]

He closed his eyes and painted[00:02:20]

The scenery in his mind[00:02:24]

Cupid struck his bosom[00:02:28]

And broke it with a snap[00:02:32]

The closest woman to him[00:02:36]

He fell into her lap[00:02:39]

He heard a loud commotion[00:02:43]

Something sounded wrong[00:02:47]

His inner spirit was saying[00:02:51]

That he couldn't stand here long[00:02:55]

He staggered to the quarterdeck[00:02:59]

No time now to sleep[00:03:03]

Water on the quarterdeck[00:03:07]

Already three foot deep[00:03:11]

Smokestack was leaning sideways[00:03:15]

Heavy feet began to pound[00:03:18]

He walked into the whirlwind[00:03:22]

Sky splitting all around[00:03:26]

The ship was going under[00:03:30]

The universe had opened wide[00:03:34]

The roll was called up yonder[00:03:38]

The angels turned aside[00:03:42]

Lights down in the hallway[00:03:46]

Flickering dim and dull[00:03:50]

Dead bodies already floating[00:03:54]

In the double bottom hull[00:03:57]

The engines then exploded[00:04:01]

Propellers they failed to start[00:04:05]

The boilers overloaded[00:04:09]

The ship's bow split apart[00:04:13]

Passengers were flying[00:04:17]

Backward, forward, far and fast[00:04:21]

They mumbled, fumbled, and tumbled[00:04:24]

Each one more weary than the last[00:04:28]

The veil was torn asunder[00:04:32]

'Tween the hours of twelve and one[00:04:36]

No change, no sudden wonder[00:04:40]

Could undo what had been done[00:04:44]

The watchman lay there dreaming[00:04:48]

At forty-five degrees[00:04:52]

He dreamed that the Titanic was sinking[00:04:56]

Dropping to her knees[00:05:00]

Wellington he was sleeping[00:05:19]

His bed began to slide[00:05:23]

His valiant heart was beating[00:05:27]

He pushed the tables aside[00:05:30]

Glass of shattered crystal[00:05:35]

Lay scattered roundabout[00:05:38]

He strapped on both his pistols[00:05:42]

How long could he hold out?[00:05:46]

His men and his companions[00:05:50]

Were nowhere to be seen[00:05:54]

In silence there he waited for[00:05:58]

Time and space to intervene[00:06:02]

The passageway was narrow[00:06:06]

There was blackness in the air[00:06:09]

He saw every kind of sorrow[00:06:13]

Heard voices everywhere[00:06:17]

Alarm bells were ringing[00:06:21]

To hold back the swelling tide[00:06:25]

Friends and lovers clinging[00:06:29]

To each other side by side[00:06:33]

Mothers and their daughters[00:06:37]

Descending down the stairs[00:06:41]

Jumped into the icy waters[00:06:45]

Love and pity sent their prayers[00:06:48]

The rich man, Mister Astor[00:06:52]

Kissed his darling wife[00:06:56]

He had no way of knowing[00:07:00]

It'd be the last trip of his life[00:07:04]

Calvin, Blake and Wilson[00:07:08]

Gambled in the dark[00:07:12]

Not one of them would ever live to[00:07:16]

Tell the tale on the disembark[00:07:19]

Brother rose up 'gainst brother[00:07:24]

In every circumstance[00:07:27]

They fought and slaughtered each other[00:07:31]

In a deadly dance[00:07:35]

They lowered down the lifeboats[00:07:39]

From the sinking wreck[00:07:43]

There were traitors, there were turncoats[00:07:47]

Broken backs and broken necks[00:07:50]

The bishop left his cabin[00:07:55]

To help others in need[00:07:58]

Turned his eyes up to the heavens[00:08:02]

Said, he poor are yours to fee[00:08:06]

Davey the brothel-keeper[00:08:11]

Came out dismissed his girls[00:08:14]

Saw the water getting deeper[00:08:18]

Saw the changing of his world.[00:08:21]

Jim Dandy smiled[00:08:27]

He never learned to swim[00:08:30]

Saw the little crippled child[00:08:33]

And he gave his seat to him[00:08:37]

He saw the starlight shining[00:08:41]

Streaming from the East[00:08:45]

Death was on the rampage[00:08:49]

But his heart was now at peace.[00:08:53]

They battened down the hatches[00:08:57]

But the hatches wouldn't hold[00:09:00]

They drowned upon the staircase[00:09:05]

Of brass and polished gold.[00:09:09]

Leo said to Cleo[00:09:13]

I think I'm going mad[00:09:16]

But he'd lost his mind already[00:09:20]

Whatever mind he had[00:09:24]

He tried to block the doorway[00:09:28]

To save all those from harm[00:09:32]

Blood from an open wound[00:09:36]

Pouring down his arm[00:09:40]

Petals fell from flowers[00:09:44]

Til all of them were gone[00:09:48]

In the long and dreadful hours[00:09:51]

The wizard's curse played on[00:09:55]

The host was pouring brandy[00:09:59]

He was going down slow[00:10:03]

He stayed right to the end and he[00:10:07]

Was the last to go[00:10:11]

There were many, many others[00:10:15]

Nameless here forever more[00:10:18]

They never sailed the ocean[00:10:22]

Or left their homes before[00:10:26]

The watchman, he lay dreaming[00:10:30]

The damage had been done[00:10:34]

He dreamed the Titanic was sinking[00:10:38]

And he tried to tell someone[00:10:42]

The captain, barely breathing[00:11:04]

Kneeling at the wheel[00:11:07]

Above him and beneath him[00:11:11]

Fifty thousand tons of steel[00:11:15]

He looked over at his compass[00:11:19]

And he gazed into its face[00:11:23]

Needle pointing downward[00:11:26]

He knew he lost the race[00:11:31]

In the dark illumination[00:11:34]

He remembered bygone years[00:11:38]

He read the Book of Revelation[00:11:42]

And he filled his cup with tears[00:11:46]

When the Reaper's task had ended[00:11:50]

Sixteen hundred had gone to rest[00:11:54]

The good, the bad, the rich, the poor[00:11:58]

The loveliest and the best[00:12:02]

They waited at the landing[00:12:06]

And they tried to understand[00:12:09]

But there is no understanding[00:12:13]

For the judgement of God's hand[00:12:17]

The news came over the wires[00:12:20]

And struck with deadly force[00:12:25]

Love had lost its fires[00:12:29]

All things had run their course[00:12:33]

The watchman he lay dreaming[00:12:37]

Of all things that can be[00:12:40]

He dreamed the Titanic was sinking[00:12:45]

Into the deep blue sea[00:12:48]
