ENTIRE CREW ON ETERNAL PATROL

* SAILORS REST YOUR OARS, YOU WATCH HAS ENDED *

* Your Brothers Have Assumed The Watch *


The words to the haunting melody, we now know as "Taps"

Day is done
Gone the sun
From the Lakes
From the hills
From the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest.
God is nigh.

Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky,
Gleaming bright
From afar,
Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
Neath the sun,
Neath the stars,
Neath the sky,
As we go,
This we know,
God is nigh.
