[Intro]

[Verse]
Fog rolls in, a shroud of grey
On the waves, we drift and sway
From the mast, a spectral gleam
A cursed lantern, a waking dream
It swings and dips, a solemn sign
Marking souls that won't align
With the shore, or heaven's light
Lost forever in the night

[Chorus]
Black lantern, swing low, swing slow
Where the lost souls go, they go
Black lantern, a spectral guide
On the turning tide, we hide
Never to reach home, never to rest
Put your souls to the test
Black lantern, swing low, swing slow
Where the lost souls go

[Verse]
No compass guides, no stars above
Just the chill, devoid of love
Each creak of wood, a whispered plea
From the depths of the dead sea
The bell it tolls, a mournful sound
As the black light spins around
Chains they rattle, soft and low
A final journey, to and fro

[Chorus]
Black lantern, swing low, swing slow
Where the lost souls go, they go
Black lantern, a spectral guide
On the turning tide, we hide
Never to reach home, never to rest
Put your souls to the test
Black lantern, swing low, swing slow
Where the lost souls go

[Bridge]
A ghostly choir, a distant hum
To the abyss, we are numb
Accordion weeps, a mournful drone
We are adrift, forever alone
Footsteps heavy, on the deck
Sealing our eternal wreck

[Verse]
The wind it howls through tattered sail
A spectral waltz, a haunting trail
Each swing a soul, condemned to roam
Far from any earthly home
The foghorn cries, a lonely sound
As the black light spins around
No harbor waits, no peace we'll find
Leaving all we knew behind

[Chorus]
Black lantern, swing low, swing slow
Where the lost souls go, they go
Black lantern, a spectral guide
On the turning tide, we hide
Never to reach home, never to rest
Put your souls to the test
Black lantern, swing low, swing slow
Where the lost souls go

[Outro]
