Ill Met By Moonlight Songtext

Our souls will rest
By heavens blessed
The light has waned
By the gods' ordained

All seems lost
All the sands of time run
As the tempest subsides
And the dusk has begun
How the winds of fate have blown
In this world we nevеr called our own

We sailed thе night
And heaven's delight
Beyond the fading sun and starlight
There never waits a dreamer's dawn
When this night has gone

Through the eyes of the seer
Bind the curse of the night Their fate becomes clearer
As we turn to the light
Their souls are forsaken
As our hearts turn to the sea

They rode the storm (Through the ages gone)
Spray and foam (The winds have blown)
Starlight (Our souls will rest)
Long out of sight (By the heavens blessed)
Croatoan (Through ages gone)
Their souls are gone (The winds have blown)
Starbright (Our souls will rest)
Lost to the night (By heavens blessed)
We are (The light has waned)
Ill met by moonlight (By the gods' ordained)

They left no sign
And no trace in the brine
But a trail of smoke along the coastline
Forsake all hope ye who journey here
To this lonely Cape of Fear

With their souls now forsaken
In the palest moonlight
With a fateful course taken
They return to the night
No sins are forgiven
As our eyes turn to the sea

They rode the storm (Through ages gone)
Spray and foam (The winds have blown)
Starlight (Our souls will rest)
Long out of sight (By heavens blessed)
Croatoan (Through ages gone)
Their souls are gone (The winds have blown)
Starbright (Our souls will rest)
Lost to the night (By heavens blessed)
We are (The light has waned)
Ill met by moonlight (By the gods' ordained)

Icy grasp of sorrow
In the lament of the waves
Shadows on the water
As they sailed towards their graves

They rode the storm (Through ages gone)
Spray and foam (The winds have blown)
Starlight (Our souls will rest)
Long out of sight (By heavens blessed)
Croatoan (Through ages gone)
Their souls are gone (The winds have blown)
Starbright (Our souls will rest)
Lost to the night (By heavens blessed)
They rode the storm (Through ages gone)
Spray and foam (The winds have blown)
Starlight (Our souls will rest)
Long out of sight (By heavens blessed)
Croatoan (Through ages gone)
Their souls are gone (The winds have blown)
Starbright (Our souls will rest)
Lost to the night (By heavens blessed)
Lost souls (The light has waned)
Ill met by moonlight (By the gods' ordained)
