Silent Shanties
The men sing their shanties
Unaware of the looming monster
By the time the lookout can issue the warning
The beast is already too close
Through the howling wind
And washing-machine waves
The shanties give way to shouts
Frantic sailors fighting for their lives
As quick as it came
The storm passes on
Having wiped the surface clean
Those who were singing, now sinking
And as the waves return to the sea,
So the words give way to silence.
