//LYRICS//
The ventilation moans in nonstop serenade
Pushing air across the decks of marbled tiled gray.
The air is filled with grunts and groans of us who dwell within
This cold gray void surrounded by plate steel we call a skin.
Bright light, it pierces every part, as if to make us falter,
And wraps us neatly in at night in racks we call coffin lockers.
Organized as little things among a higher being
We settle in as if this hulk was here to do our keeping.
Our bodies rest on pads too thin to serve a healthy lad,
We wake a bit more battered for a good rest still not been had.
We occupants arise and roll to step on cold and dress,
Rarely do you hear complaint of ill or of distress.
The voice that sounds without a word is heard within this berth,
The absence of a loved one, waiting somewhere here on earth.
We put our lives out on the line; with honor we serve gladly,
Equipped to fight in any war 'cept that of social apathy.
