Halcyon, for those of you who do not know, means "a period of carefree good times." In other words, the singer is using a metaphor of a ship sinking to the fall he had. He is regretting having had days where the booze flowed freely as it led him to disaster. He feels his only hope is to pray to God for salvation.
