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.
