Ill Met by Moonlight Lyrics


The Colonists:

Through ages gone

The winds have blown

Our souls will rest

By heaven blessed

The light has waned

By gods ordained

The stars shine bright

In moonlit night

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

The Rescue Company:

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 joureny 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
