I spoke to the God's and they told me
I could live forever.
They said I would just have to pray to them
I said never
My piety broke like a fever
I was aware.
The apex of my life would
finally appear.
[Chorus
Bow down to the wisdom behind the vale.
The phantom's ship goes forth without a sail
Fifty crowns passed down through the days
In the end, it's only dust that remains
The time finally came for me to
take my last breath
The God's came back saying they
could save me from death
I told them \"If faith is what you
seek to be whole
Then to deny is worth more than
my immortal soul
Bow down to the wisdom behind the vale.
The phantom's ship goes forth without a sail
Fifty crowns passed down through the days
In the end, it's only dust that remains
I'll close my eyes and be as present as you
I'll close my eyes and be more alive than you
I'll close my eyes for I know what is true
and die knowing what I would do
what i would do
what i would do
Bow down to the wisdom behind the vale.
The phantom's ship goes forth without a sail
Fifty crowns passed down through the days
In the end, it's only dust that remains
