The Tide's Keep

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold glass in the night
I keep up the light
I write in the book
Of the lives the sea took
The pages turn gray
At the break of the day
[Pre-Chorus]
The ocean will call
As the black shadows fall
The cold waters rise
To the limits of skies
[Chorus]
Burn bright through the gale
For the ghost of a sail
I stand by the door
Though they return no more
The deep waters swell
Like a tolling bell
[Verse]
The brass has grown cold
And the keeper grows old
The oil starts to drain
Through the frost on the window pane
I look at the deep
Where they silently sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
The ocean will call
As the black shadows fall
The cold waters rise
To the limits of skies
[Chorus]
Burn bright through the gale
For the ghost of a sail
I stand by the door
Though they return no more
The deep waters swell
Like a tolling bell
[Bridge]
The storm starts to fade
In the grave we have made
No ships will arrive
To keep hope alive
But their names will remain
Written clear in the rain
In the salt of the sea
They are finally free
[Chorus]
Burn bright through the gale
For the ghost of a sail
I stand by the door
Though they return no more
The deep waters swell
Like a tolling bell
They live in the tide
Where the great waters glide
[Outro]
