"Ill Met By Moonlight" lyrics

Through ages gone
The winds have blown
Our souls will rest
By heavens blessed
The light has waned
By gods ordained
The stars shine bright
In moonlit night

Through ages gone
The winds have blown
Our souls will rest
By heavens blessed
The light has waned
By 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 never called our own

We sailed the 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
Spray and foam
Starlight, long out of sight
Croatoan, their souls are gone
Starbright, lost to the night
We are ill met by moonlight

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
Spray and foam
Starlight, long out of sight
Croatoan, their souls are gone
Starbright, lost to the night
They were ill met by moonlight

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

They rode the storm
Spray and foam
Starlight, long out of sight
Croatoan, their souls are gone
Starbright, lost to the night

They rode the storm
Spray and foam
Starlight, long out of sight
Croatoan, their souls are gone
Starbright, lost to the night
Lost souls, ill met by moonlight
