Amidst a rolling scape of blue
Where land nor logic be
A metallic island bobs there
In this dynamic sapphire sphere
Where depth is but heaven above
Percieved by the mortal eye
What war can there be
No birds come here, yet to die
Still men breech the silence e'er
How can it be to work the deck
Enslaved by armaments thermal
Nature remains our master
Shining sun, fresh air, vivid colours
A quiet celebration, all that is life
Above a crew doomed by men
There is no rhyme or reason
Aboard a saline transference
Where a steel coffin floats
This microcosm of dissention
Tainted by diesel, grease, and must
Its inhabitants condemned
The land will never again be seen
Nor the faces familiar, endearing
Our incidental voyage to paradise
