The band played and the cameras turned
 As the bottle smashed on her bow
 The flagship of the gilded age
 Moved slowly out to sea
 Never had such luxury
 Been seen afloat before
 They said she was unsinkable
 The fools were wrong once more 

 S.O.S.
 We're sinking fast, you better get to the boats
 S.O.S.
 The captain cried for God sakes save your souls 

 Sailing on into the night
 Toward the northern star
 Laughter rang, people danced
 Under crystal chandeliers
 No-one sensed the danger
 In the unforgiving sea
 Steaming into legend
 voyage into history 

 2,000 tortured souls cry out
 Cry out from their sleep
 Damned to spend eternity
 Travellers of the deep
