The ships move through the veil of the night
Fading into the darkened sky
Journey beyond all legend and song
They'll follow the way of which they belong
They sail for a world unknown to the sword
To steal away the peace of the day
The lanterns sway to the beat of the waves
The darkness drowns all their days
They'll carry the cries of the women behind
A sweet, soft ache, not enough to remain
The ships move through the veil of the night
Fading into the darkened sky
Journey beyond all legend and song
They'll follow the way of which they belong
The lanterns sway to the beat of the waves
The darkness drowns all their days
They'll carry the cries of the women behind
A sweet, soft ache, not enough to remain
