| [00:47.19] |
Across the eerie waters |
| [00:51.67] |
Misty covered glass I spied |
| [00:55.38] |
A sad procession snaking down |
| [00:59.45] |
The dry and deathly trail |
| [01:03.14] |
|
| [01:04.09] |
And as my telescopic eye |
| [01:07.28] |
Focused on the marching line |
| [01:11.54] |
It settled on the fallen crown |
| [01:15.56] |
Now covered with a veil |
| [01:18.88] |
|
| [01:19.84] |
The heavy weight of mourning |
| [01:23.47] |
Drew each head to face the ground |
| [01:27.26] |
Muscles tight on bearer arms |
| [01:31.59] |
Each body cold and frail |
| [01:34.92] |
|
| [01:35.76] |
And through the muslin mist |
| [01:39.06] |
The beating drums the only sound |
| [01:43.89] |
Twenty boat out in the bay |
| [01:47.56] |
All ready to set sail |
| [01:50.81] |
|
| [01:51.86] |
Ashes take me back to earth |
| [02:06.77] |
Water quench my human thirst |
| [02:23.68] |
Ashes take me back to earth |
| [02:39.30] |
Water quench my human thirst |
| [02:51.31] |
|
| [02:54.62] |
My bones soaked in the icy cold |
| [03:00.27] |
And fixed me where I lay |
| [03:03.65] |
Until each vessel left the shore |
| [03:08.33] |
And made a line for me |
| [03:10.62] |
|
| [03:11.63] |
There never was breeze |
| [03:14.89] |
The leaves were silent all that day |
| [03:18.59] |
They say the sails were ghosts |
| [03:22.54] |
That stole the wind to set them free |
| [03:26.67] |
|
| [03:27.65] |
I lay transfixed |
| [03:29.61] |
Felt nothing but the beating of my fear |
| [03:35.20] |
As flames rose up and swallowed whole |
| [03:39.99] |
The greatest of the fleet |
| [03:43.00] |
|
| [03:43.85] |
The others circled round |
| [03:47.40] |
And I heard chanting fill the air |
| [03:51.44] |
The ashes, lifted high |
| [03:54.57] |
Were falling back into the sea |
| [03:59.58] |
|
| [04:00.50] |
Ashes take me back to earth |
| [04:15.30] |
Water quench my human thirst |
| [04:30.70] |
Ashes take me back to earth |
| [04:47.10] |
Water quench my human thirst |
| [04:59.09] |
|
