[Verse 1]
The ship went went down in cold water
The band played on
Women and children float away
Nearer my god to thee
The crew, the black gang, and men who made her
Nameless, gone, all gone
Cry out to the world
We're going down, we're going down, we're going down
Dead sons, lost lovers
Fathers and brothers gone
Belfast, Southampton
Weeping, weeping women

[Verse 2]
Over and over and over
Ships of state, ships of fools
Lower the lifeboats
The rich sail away, nеarer to god are they
No powеr, no glory
Only hope remains
Swim to the star
Down, down, in dark water
The show goes on
Cry out to the stars
We're going down, we're going down, we're going down
The stars listen
The stars listen
And drift away
