Tragedy (Be Careful What You Say)

The sinking of the Titanic: April, 15th, 1912

They said that you would never fail at sea.
But, down you sank into the depths of night.
So confident, you sailed majestically,
Till humble too late, you gave up the fight.

But down you sank into the depths of night,
Taking with you many innocent lives,
Till humble too late, you gave up the fight,
Separating husbands, children, and wives.

Taking with you many innocent lives,
Because you weren’t prepared at sea to fail.
Separating husbands, children, and wives.
Did you stay afloat long to hear them wail?

Because at sea, you weren’t prepared to fail,
Passengers, hulk, and dreams all set adrift.
Did you stay afloat long to hear them wail,
Hubristic, unprepared, Captain John Smith?

Passengers, hulk, and dreams, all set adrift.
So confidently, you sailed majestically,
Hubristic, unprepared, Captain John Smith.
They said that you would never fail at sea.
