as the daylight is breaking
the chosen ones so quietly gather
no one's faith is shaking
their vision lies beyond

strangely mantled in silence
a grand parade of lives completed
faith alone gives them guidance
to find their journey home

send the last ship home
send the faithful home

with the first golden blazes 
they leave for their eternal voyage
and the lines in their faces
reflect the fiery skies

as the last ship is leaving
i see my father gently waving
clutching all i believe in
i whisper my farewell

send the last ship home
send the faithful home
