Lyrics:



We in our present life

Knew that the stars were right

That if you are the first to go, you’ll leave a sign to let me know, tell me so.

So if you are the first to go you’ll

Leave a sign to let me know oh tell me so.



Please carry the lantern lights.



You cross the sea of night

Free from the spell of fright

Your cloak it is a spirit it shroud you

Wake me in my sleeping hours like a cloud.



Please carry the lantern high



Me in my sorry plight

You waiting every night

My face it turns a deathly pale, you’re

Talking to me through your veil. I hear you wail.



Please carry the lantern light.



The servants sleep, the door’s are barred. You hear the stopping

Of my heart.



Please carry the lantern high.
