Never an Absolution
You looked across the harbor one last time before making the trip of your life
Thousands gathered to watch you set sail across a doomed ocean and never to be recovered
No one had any doubts that you wouldn't make it, your speed was more graceful then the creatures that now surrounded you below the surface
People walked upon your surfaces and felt a sense of freedom and desire for they would be headed to the land of opportunity
Others had the feeling they were heading right back to the beginning of despair and misfortune
I only knew that should something happen then it was God's way of saying you failed beautifully
And who could blame you?
As each day came and went, more and more people anticipated what was to be the most unexpected turn of events in human history
On that last night everyone celebrated what would be your second to last night on the ocean before making your return to the harbor and continue a tradition that would've been beautiful for years to come
The only thing that stood in your way…an obstacle bigger then life itself…it's icy cover blanketed half the ship causing it to overturn those 2,000 on board
No one really knows who survived…or why so many men were forced into the water…
It was the worse mistake people could make…and yet they still let it haunt them
Most of those who survived…with one toss of the dice…are almost on death's wheel
Spinning and Screaming they know what to expect as to those who died that dreadful evening
And now that we know we'll never recover it…we have a piece of history
Pieces that will make those remember…remember the 14th of April in 1912
Those who screamed and cried when their lovers were never found did them no good
And to this day I regret going…for I can't sleep…without an absolution…
