Hypothermic - I Declare War

Hypothermic

Countless lives aboard the iron

Shrouded in our best attire

Soon we will be fathoms down

Sediment upon the ground

Massive Tonnage

Slipping further from the surface

Freezing water

Warms me up inside

Hypothermic

Screams of horror all around me

Field of bodies

Floating in the night

Twisted metal

Of the wreckage stories high

Breaking, Failing

Further from the sky

By the maker!

Save me from the icy hell

On the sea floor

This watery grave I dwell

A story I’ll never tell…

Pale!

Stale!

Frial!

Floating marvel

Sinking into icy water

Precious moments

Turning into frozen slumber

Rescue futle

Wading in the bloody mire

Soaked in the void

Under stars that fill the sky

Poor ones trapped behind the gates

Failure to resuscitate

Death begins to nauseate

Flesh begins to separate

Pale!

Stale!

Frail!

Hypothermic!
