lyrics

Quelch, heavy hearted by the lost treasure, but happy for his life, prepares his boat for departing. Unexpectedly, the haunted ship begins to groan and shift, calling attention to a ghostly train of hands emerging from below. The spirits return the jewels to Quelch, one by one, as he leans over the rail of his boat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quelch:

Hands of white swim to the line,
Where the darkness meets the light,
Bringing me a jewel bright.
No stranger sight.

And as the phantoms board their ship,
Set to sail their final trip,
The foaming waves begin to spin.
What's happening? What’s happening?

The ghost ship slowly begins its descent to the deep. Jesiah King gives a last nod to Quelch as the waves embrace him:

Sleep now, on your way down -
down, down -
(s l e e p n o w)
to the ocean ground
Sleep now, on your way down -
down, down -
(s l e e p n o w)
to the ocean ground
Sleep now, on your way down -
down, down -
(s l e e p n o w)
to the ocean ground
Sleep now, on your way down -
down, down -
(s l e e p n o w)
to the ocean ground
