driftwood carried by the waves

old ship sunken to its grave
plank is all of its remains
driftwood carried by the waves

proud old liner mighty brave
oil spill bloody spots of stains
old ship sunken to its grave

remnant could not just be saved
screams aboard were bathed in pain
driftwood carried by the waves

cracked in half, its hull was shaved
took on agony in strain
old ship sunken to its grave

super hull was all the rave
met its match against the grain
driftwood carried by the waves

ship dispersed in separate caves
old songs sung in hushed refrains
old ship sunken to its grave
driftwood carried by the waves
