[Instrumental for the first half]

-----------------------------------------------------------

[Chorus: Tim Charles]
Masquerading, the grey vultures
Coalescing in black swansongs
Of the dead
As the dead sigh-igh-igh

Therein the quickening shadows
Kisses upon lifeless fingers
As the dead sigh
As the dead sigh-igh-igh, oh
Of always
As the dead sigh-igh-igh, oh

Over the frontier of always
In remembrance, they are anthems
The anthems
Forget not
For those gone
Forget not

[Bridge: Xenoyr]
Never
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Xenoyr]
Down by the waters, beneath the willow drapery
Cold, timeless prince, cloaked in raven wings
Two penny moons, passage through the boatman
Cross starlit waters, where dreamscapes are golden

[Outro: Xenoyr and Tim Charles]
How they lived they will be remembered
We now stand in the footsteps of the anthems
Ne Obliviscaris
For the noble souls that were and will be
On, the dead sigh on (What waits beyond in exile's garden sings of the unknown)
Ne Obliviscaris
They are anthems (The renaissance of death echoes eternally, all's not lost)
Ne Obliviscaris (Death echoes, death echoes)
Forget not, forget not, forget not, never
