Shadow of the Gods

And so we lay under the moon The stars have crossed our paths tonight So journey on our wandering souls Let our tears fall on our own Against the sun There are shapes in the fire Around the stars Are blue and grey halos Forever into the light A pathway silvered and untold A frozen river, a river of souls Let your tears fall on the ice In the shadow of the gods Somewhere there is hope In this heartless world together To come again On this new earth, once more Forever, evermore Journey on beyond the stars Our weary souls, the road is long We live in shadows of the gods The sunlit homeland Is not far In absolute night, in absolute zero The universe stops, a foetus in vitro And I have a river of souls underfoot One drop creates the light One drop will fill the night I need a necromancer that science has no use I need your skill to raise the veil, sanctify release A sacrifice at midnight, do what must be done I need your help to save them all, save my only son This is my world, world of the dead This is my life, world of the dead Before a body had grown cold You were there to steal its soul The son is dead, he told me so I gave him peace, he is let go So now a double threat unfolds and purgatory awaits The treble headed hellhound barks and opens up the gates Look at your life, world of the dead This is your life, world of the dead You have no life, world of the dead World of the dead We open up the temple gates Light the crucible again We watch the phoenix rise in fire Burning by the ritual flame So lay me down In the shadow of the gods
