The Crossing

[Violin & guitar instrumental intro) (Verse 1) An old man at the seashore, His eyes are filled with grey, Looks out on the horizon For an old familiar shape. (Verse 2) A vessel made years ago, The Nightingale's her name. She carries lost souls to guidance, For they've long forgotten the way. (Verse 3) A single masted ship with canvas sails unfurled, She is the word of Gods bringing those to the next world. The forgotten shall go nameless, And the nameless shall go unheard, As the whisper of the forgotten shan't even be words. (Chorus) This is for the long forgotten, Their cries in wind are unheard. The nameless are crying Tears shed for them long long ago. [Instrumental] (Verse 4) The raven casts a shadow Over the shallow grave, Calling out to the old man, It's time to sing farewell to the world. (Verse 5) His feet upon the decking, As she carves her way through the surf, He shall fade from memory, And he too shall go unheard. (Chorus) This is for the long forgotten, Their cries in the wind are unheard. The nameless are crying Tears shed for them long long ago. (Bridge) So long ago, If only they know… [Instrumental] (Chorus Reprisal) [Added singers) We sing for the long forgotten, Their cries in the wind shall be heard. We are all crying Tears shed for the loved the ones that go. [Fading violin solo] (Bridge) So long ago, If only they know… [Instrumental] (Chorus Reprisal) [Added singers) We sing for the long forgotten, Their cries in the wind shall be heard. We are all crying Tears shed for the loved the ones that go. [Fading violin solo] (Bridge) So long ago, If only they know… [Instrumental] (Chorus Reprisal) [Added singers) We sing for the long forgotten, Their cries in wind are heard. We are all crying Tears shed for the loved ones that go. (Chorus) We are the long forgotten We sing out to be heard We are all crying Tears shed for the memories of long ago [Fading violin solo]
