The last time the Midshipmen had beat the Fighting Irish in competition, President Kennedy was still breathing. 43 years of loss, a lifetime of many filled with sorrow and regret, all ended on this day in 2007.
Somewhere below the depths, the USS Thresher lets out a shriek, signaling a brief return from their eternal patrol. The line between past and future begin to blur.
lyrics
antiquity
caught somewhere far below
a distant record, unbroken tradition
midshipmen pay the price
we will sink down to the depths
never knowing that it's the last
no chance to catch a breath
no time to say farewell
in a flash of an instant
frustration, futility
lopsided loss shadows narrow defeat
in a flash of a lifetime
our hopes have been restored
to end a new beginning
eternally patrol
SSN-593
what once was is no more
toppled down by the gods
by this cursed year
they were lost at sea we know
the thresher's strike has come from a
long, long time ago
on a starless night
full speed ahead
the lost harbor awaits
washed ashore
on eternal patrol
we will never return
by the grace of the cursed
we will surface once more
"scattered fragments
and twisted metal
are all that remain
of the USS Thresher"
