When we came into the ballroom it was all ablaze
Bells ringing overhead and echoing through
the hall where a symphony once played variations on a theme
and we degenerate few lay beneath the waves
our souls given up to the rise and fall
the ships over deep waters and searching
for some way to turn back the currents
take hold of the sky that watched them go
and fell beyond the dying seas
One day maybe they’ll find the way back
and gladly go to the hall that stands ablaze
loyal to the glory bright and stranger than the sky
