Fare thee well
May the Lord who watches all
Watch over thee
May God´s heaven be your blanket
As you softly sleep...
Softly sleep...
In every age mankind attemps
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...
On dessert sounds, from mountains of stone
An pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man´s ecstasy!
One man´s ecstasy...
Miracles them all!
China´s endless wall...
Stonehenge, the pathenon, the Duomo,
The aqueducts of Rome
We did not attemp to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid,
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothik walls that radiate with light...
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!...
Floating city!...
A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And a perfection
Of physical engineering...
At once a poem
And a perfection
Of physical engineering...
Sail on, sail on
Great ship, Titanic!
Cross to the open sea
Pray the journeys sound
Till your part be found
Fortune´s winds
Sing godspeed to thee...
Fortune´s winds
Sing godspeed
To thee
