We, on our present life   Knew that the stars were right   That if you are the first to go   You'll leave a sign to let me kno   Tell me so   Please, carry the Lantern lights      You crossed the sea of night   Free from the spell of fright   Your cloak it is a spirit shroud   You'll wake me in my sleeping hours   Like a cloud   So, please, carry the Lantern high      Me, in my sorry plight   You waiting ev'ry night   My face it turns a deathly pale   You're talking to me, through your veil   I hear you wail   So, please carry the Lantern light      The servants sleep   The door's are barred   You hear the stopping of my heart-we never part   So, please carry the Lantern high
