Twenty two hundred souls at the mercy of the sea
In the frozen darkness merely hundred remained
Hopes been shattered like so many sheets of ice
But true love flourishes in the final hour
Chorus
Fading ember called her Ship of Dreams
Queen of December oh the Ship of Dreams
Women and children and gentlemen first
Who decides which life is most important?
Watch in horror as the vessel is going down
Conscience will be your eternal sentinel
Chorus
Fading ember called her Ship of Dreams
Queen of December oh the Ship of Dreams
Cast off for America! Land of promise and glory!
Steaming to new horizon!! How surreal this life seems
Solo
They claimed nothing could sink her
It was just a folly of man
Nature can shatter our monuments
With but a breath
Chorus
Fading ember called her Ship of Dreams
Queen of December oh the Ship of Dreams
Always remember oh the Ship of Dreams
Queen of December oh the Ship of Dreams
