Riegal

First I will describe the scene to you
 Do you have it right?
 In 1944, the Riegal, she went down
 She went down with 4, 000 prisoners asleep on board
 Well, now do you
 I want to know if you
 Have it right
 Is it like the borders of a dream
 Have taken you inside?
 The Riegal was a mighty ship
 4, 000 prisoners strong
 The Captain, he was gallant
 Or perhaps he was a prisoner, too
 Who's to know for sure who's who?
 One night it was very late
 The Riegal tore its side
 4, 000 prisoners and the Captain
 They were trapped inside
 Has there been any news?
 I feel so out of place
 The Captain's always busy
 Being in a state of grace
 But what I want to know is
 Are you listening out there?
 The crew, they were a sorry lot
 Blinded by their blood
 The Captain, he whispered orders
 But you could not hear him above the flood
 And then somebody said
 "Well, the ocean is here"
 But someone said
 "No, there's more"
 And the last thing I remember
 Is a broken hand clinging to the Captain's door
 Has there been any news?
 I feel so out of place
 The Captain's always busy
 Being in a state of grace
 But what I want to know is
 Anybody listening? (Are you listening out there?)
 Is anybody listening? (Are you listening out there?)
 Is anybody listening?
