Sunken Graveyard
So down and down and down we spin.
Through the water, I see the Devil's grin.
Swiftly dragged down to the ocean floor.
Where the ocean waves no longer roar.
Other sunken boats and ships we see.
Many ghostly tombs of what used to be.
Lying on its side, the carcass of a plane.
More vanished souls...the Devil to blame.
Our boat comes to rest on the Ocean bed.
Now trapped in a world of the living dead.
An underwater Hell, that the Devil patrols.
In this timeless world, full of long lost souls.
Saddened ships I see with skull like teeth.
Buried without friends, no prayer or wreath.
Disappeared without trace, be dusk or dawn.
No final farewell, no loved ones to mourn.
From ships in distress, their 7 bells ring still.
In this sunken graveyard, they forever will.
For all eternity now, this is to be my home.
The reason I vanished...will never be known.

A grim sequel, Mike, but good.
