May this ship sink with grace,
Return to its maker,
Become a home anew for those living under
Am I one of those souls now?
The darkness of the depths
Appears to surround my eyes
May the corpses bring new life
Upon the dead and
deadened
Bless the souls of those who died
Upon this ship
For it sank with grace
And became a home.
