[00:46.19]Across the eerie waters
[00:51.62]Misty covered glass I spied
[00:54.86]
[00:56.05]A sad procession snaking down
[00:59.20]
[01:00.01]The dry and deathly trail
[01:02.80]
[01:03.71]And as my telescopic eye
[01:07.82]Focused on the marching line
[01:12.01]It settled on the fallen crown
[01:15.39]
[01:15.92]Now covered with a veil
[01:19.03]
[01:20.04]The heavy weight of mourning
[01:22.85]
[01:23.36]Drew each head to face the ground
[01:26.53]
[01:28.27]Muscles tight on bearer arms
[01:32.00]Each body cold and frail
[01:35.09]
[01:36.08]And through the muslin mist
[01:38.74]The beating drums the only sound
[01:42.85]
[01:44.07]Twenty boat out in the bay
[01:48.13]All ready to set sail
[01:50.30]
[01:52.99]Ashes take me back to earth
[02:03.31]
[02:04.23]Water quench my human thirst
[02:19.40]
[02:24.11]Ashes take me back to earth
[02:35.60]
[02:40.05]Water quench my human thirst
[02:51.42]
[02:56.18]My bones soaked in the icy cold
[02:59.41]
[03:00.00]And fixed me where I lay
[03:02.59]
[03:04.15]Until each vessel left the shore
[03:08.07]And made a line for me
[03:10.40]
[03:12.24]There never was breeze
[03:16.21]The leaves were silent all that day
[03:18.77]
[03:19.72]They say the sails were ghosts
[03:23.18]That stole the wind to set them free
[03:26.46]
[03:28.16]I lay transfixed
[03:30.22]Felt nothing but the beating of my fear
[03:34.53]
[03:36.17]As flames rose up and swallowed whole
[03:40.00]The greatest of the fleet
[03:42.97]
[03:44.21]The others circled round
[03:47.20]And I heard chanting fill the air
[03:50.60]
[03:52.34]The ashes  lifted high
[03:55.29]Were falling back into the sea
[03:58.47]
[04:00.35]Ashes take me back to earth
[04:11.81]
[04:15.90]Water quench my human thirst
[04:27.31]
[04:32.14]Ashes take me back to earth
[04:43.49]
[04:48.00]Water quench my human thirst
