[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]
