lyrics

we are the black ships
we are the dead men
skeleton crews
riding the breeze
a hopeless romantic
raises her banner
can anybody say what she sees

mystics and mirrors
a warning to call for
bleeding, not bashing the best of them in
sun it is setting, who can be calling
a message
a message
is all that I bring

for honor and glory
the walls have been falling
for honor and glory
there is something to be
one humble servant
one act to call for
oh lord how could you do this to me

stately kings
darkened thrones
long lush grasses the winds do blow
where blood is spilled
now the flowers will grow

never thought I
would be hearing
words that you found most endearing
can you speak your bitter language
can you tell me
where you are buried
summer through winter
winter through fall
somehow you managed to last through them all

stately kings
darkened thrones
long lush grasses the winds do blow
where blood is spilled
now the flowers will grow
