In gentlest hands

They walk as if they're guided
By winds and gentle hands
Hold lanterns the distance 
Held in childish hands

Afar you see them floating 
Their Laughter echoes on
Those gentle hands caress them
These ghosts we are among 

They were the Children of the sun
But darkness called so sweet
They embraced the gentlest hands 
Walked with childish feet

They dissappear into the gloom
Watch the fading light
Those gentle hands have taken
Those children of the night
