City of Abandoned Ships

Oh my love I hope you have not forgotten me
Just know that it was you on my mind when our ship was lost at sea
A crew of two hundred and thirty five men whose families never would see them again
Their faces forgotten sunk to the abyss now on the seafloor their souls will persist
Oh my love I have long since lost track of time
It must have been aeons since all of us had died
Way below the violent sea here lies we infernally
We’re the ones who time forgot eternally left to rot
And I swore i heard a sirens call as waves took hold and sunk the hull
Hundreds of men were screaming floating bodies bleeding
Attracted sharks for feeding towards this oaken grave
Oh my love I'm sure you have long since passed
I pray that your soul unlike mine was able to find peace
A manifest of two thirty five names who would be forgotten down to the last page
A nation they served until the grave this ungrateful government would never repay
Wives and brides will look to sea determinedly to no avail
Never to see those tattered sails have long since drowned and won't be found
