"Eventide" lyrics

Passing through the dark
Like silent ships at night
Drifting on the waves to find a beacon
A peaceful harbor
Here you are again
Just like so many times before
To share with me the stories of our lives

From you, my friend
I ask just one thing

Shine your light in Eventide
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
Your song shall guide me through
My house of pain

Spiritual Oracle

A passenger departs
Into the vast unknown
Lovingly he reads the final chapter
They ever wrote
The company more comforting
Than words could ever say
Until the ending pages
I will stay

From you, my friend
I ask just one thing

Shine your light in Eventide
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
Your song shall guide me through
My house of pain

Spiritual Oracle

We did not go quietly into the night
Old friend, now it's time for you and I
To wave our goodbye

I will be there waiting with a smile
When you arrive

I'll shine my light in Eventide
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
My song shall guide you through
My house of pain
