Just a cursory look at the blueprints here

Shows the weaknesses that we have missed
How the water poured in
A three hundred foot gash
And caused the bow to flood and to list
And then it filled to the top
Our separate watertight compartments
And began to overflow

Because the walls in between the compartments
Are too low

She's only sinking because these bulkheads
Stop a deck too low

But here's a thought take the line

And extend up the walls to the brink

It's just a small redesign

But when it's done then I know she can't sink

Like this like this

Like this like this

The ship will start to plunge beneath the surface

The water lapping at our feet

Down sinks the bow up flies the stern

To the sky

The panicked people in retreat

A thousand strong they'll climb up
Toward the aft deck

They'll cling there desperately

Like bees to a hive

There they'll hold fast

Doomed to the last

Lost and abandoned and all still alive

A few of them will hang there
From the railings

As one by one they'll drop away

More than two hundred fifty feet
They will fall

And after that I cannot say

I will not say

The rest in swarms will overrun the boat deck

They'll lose all sense of right and wrong

It will be every man from himself all right

The weak thrown in with the strong

First class and third and second
Will mean nothing

And sheer humanity alone will prevail

One single class

Brute harsh and crass

That's what will come of the world that set sail

Autumn

Shall we all meet in the autumn

Shall we all meet in the autumn
