Sing your hymns of Evensong,
|
Sail out to far lagoons,
|
All you fishermen and you fortune hunters,
|
Sharpen your harpoons.
|
Sing rhapsodies to the fickle gods that guide you,
|
Awake the brave adventurer that sleeps inside you.
|
Before you VANISH AWAY LIKE MIDNIGHT SMOKE,
|
So that no signs or memories remain,
|
You might VANISH AWAY LIKE MIDNIGHT SMOKE,
|
And never be seen again.
|
|
You sailors, sail your stormy seas;
|
You gamblers, roll your ball.
|
All you butterflies and you ballerinas,
|
Dance until you fall.
|
Dream and believe; follow what you're searching for,
|
One day the brave adventurer will be no more.
|
|
You just VANISH AWAY LIKE MIDNIGHT SMOKE,
|
So that no signs of memories remain,
|
You'll just VANISH AWAY LIKE MIDNIGHT SMOKE,
|
And never be seen again.
|
|
(Instrumental Break)
|
|
You just VANISH AWAY LIKE MIDNIGHT SMOKE,
|
So that no signs or memories remain,
|
You'll just VANISH AWAY LIKE MIDNIGHT SMOKE,
|
And never be seen again.
