Who might know of this The notes we left Our final thoughts And we knew they'd get ours out Sink Sink Drowned by our country Old machine, is cursed And forgotten Never surface again The air runs out The captain is first So we take to memories And layers of clothes Up there the family waits And outside we heard hammers Noises sound like the end And we will never see them Sink Sink Drowned by her country Failed machine is cursed Old and rotten Never surface again
