'Tis thus the wind billows,
Forever and on
And upon these sea waters
A tiny ship glides
It glides on the water,
In the salty sea air,
Forever and everOn and on…
With the ever going ship
Reaching the horizon,
The sailors, ever so undaunted,
Reach their point of fear
Never before had they been in such grave danger,
Never before were they afraid at sea
Their duty lay unperformed,
For they never lived to fulfill their task
They saw a giant crystal,
A shining jewel on the horizon,
The ship went crack as it hit the jewel
Their task was never fulfilled
All was lost,
Beyond their aid,
Never again to come
Gone forever
Their lives aren't at stake,
At stake any longer
Their lives lost forever,
Souls locked away tight
'Twas not a jolly night,
'Twas not a moment to be happy
'Twas a night of great sorrow
And disbelief
It was a night of pure destruction,
For many people died that night
And disbelief came to the sailors,
For it froze them there and then
They had never seen the wind billow so,
They had never seen that jewel
Their ship disappeared at the horizon,
But no one lived to tell its tale
There is one thing I can tell you though,
One thing you won't believe
There was one sailor who survived,
But no one listened to his tale
That was a night,
One when many sailors died
Yet as brave as they were,
They had one point of fear
And so must we if we are human,
For all humans have a fear
Be brave like those sailors,
Be bold as they were
Listen to this story,
Listen to its morals
Listen to its truths,
Listen to it and remember
Remember the sailors,
Those who died that night
Remember them forever
Be brave, bold and strong
Remember the sails,
Those that carried the ship,
Remember the courage to stand through,
Remember forever, too
