The Light on the Bay lyrics

Last night, I saw it there

Shining in the dark again

The light that all men seem to fear

They say that sailors were drowning in the bay

And people kept away

Waiting for the riches that a wreck would bring

When the morning comes

And now the ghost of Blackbeard walks again

To haunt the ones who would not hear the pain

"Help me, help me"

I took the old path down, down to where the graveyard lay

The place I knew when I was young

They say that Blackbeard had hidden precious stones

Amongst the ancient bones

So I set off to the darkness down below

By the candle glow

T'was then I heard the voices, saw a light

And started on the journey of my life
