Down Among The Dead Men Lyrics

It was night
A starry moonless sight
Out in the mid Atlantic
There sailed a ship of light
She was big This ship of luxury
Everything was peaceful
No safer place to be

And she sailed
Through the night
On her way
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
The band played
She sailed the virgin
She sailed the sea
Down among the dead men

Captain Smith
The master in command
A man with wealth of wisdom
A fine upstanding man
But the fog He didn't hear the calls
The ice mountain was waiting
For fifteen hundred souls

And she sailed
Through the night
On her way Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
The band played
She sailed the virgin
She sailed the sea
Down among the dead men
Down among the dead men
And into history

Cover art for Down Among The Dead Men lyrics by Flash And The Pan

This song is obvoiusly about the Titannic and the afte she suffered. The band that played was the ships band, who lpayed on through the panic and kept going till the ship sank. None of them survived. They tried to keep everyone calm and upbeat through the ordeal.
