Ages ago I met a ghost flying across the sea
Lost in a rhyme, rhythm sublime
Do gods really speak?
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices strong
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices long
Echoing rain filling the frame, sinking low beneath
A curtain of clouds, deepening south
Bones will not cease
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices strong
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices long
The truth is aloud, wasted in the lie
Prayers ring out, hastened lullaby
Wave the ribbon to your heart's delight
All that's given only you deny
Phrasing of time steeps in the mind
Colors won't repeat
Blink of an eye, scattering light, before the golden seas
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices strong
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices long
Wave the ribbon, a thousand voices gone
