Fracticide Lyrics

Now do our eyes behold the tidings which were told
Twin fallen kings, twin perished hopes to mourn
The slayer, the slain, entangled doom forlorn
ruinous end of twain

The ship of souls, the dark
The ship of souls, the unreturning bark

Say, is not sorrow, is not sorrow's sum
Oh, home and hearthstone come?
Oh, waft with sighs, the sail from shore
Oh, smite the bosom, cadencing the oar

The ship of souls, the dark
The ship of souls, the unreturning bark

That rows beyond the rueful stream for aye
To the far strand
Whereon light never falls nor foot of Day
Even to the bourne of all, to the unbeholden land
