Ghost ship
Abandoned on the seas
Ghost ship
Loaded to the gunwales with refugees Ghost ship
Staring out into the glaring blue Ghost ship
With never a single sailor crew
An old rust bucket Bound for scrap
Reused as a floating tomb Packed with frightened families
Fleeing was terrors at home Thrown on the unforgiving sea
Lives broken,
torn apart Bits and pieces of families
Tracted,
buffered and warped
Ghost ship
Ghost ship Ghost ship
Bereft
of options, out of choice Floating on the tide
Hope is dying with the light Seeking reluctant aid
The skeleton crew
Slipped over the side
The sad and the luckless
To the honor of every sea captain
To help all vessels in distress Ghost ship
Ghost
ship
Abandoned on the seas
Ghost ship Loaded to the gunwales with refugees
