Taking The Queen |
Who stole your heartbeat in the night? |
The acolytes fearful in the flickering light |
They hold a mirror, to catch the breath from your mouth |
But your breath was stolen, by the wind from the south |
Another winter’s tale is done, your immortal lover — he’s gone |
The chalice stolen from her hand, eternal life at her command |
Now all that she rules, must sleep… |
The howling shriek of death in your eyes |
The hawklord and the beast, enter your room |
The gold will turn to rust |
Your empire follows you, into your tomb |
The wraiths of night caress |
And whisper softly now «We are the dead» |
They bear your life away, they tear your heart in two |
They’ve taken the queen |
To some better place, so they think, as the flame burns low |
Now the flame burns higher and it purifies the love that died |
A stone rolls closed on a life |
Back to the earth, sealing the tomb |
Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood |
Who summons us now from our graves? |
«We are the dead» |
The shriek of death in your eyes, the hawklord and the beast |
Enter your room |
The wraiths of night caress, and whisper softly now |
«We are the dead» |
They bear your life away, they’ve torn your heart in two |
They’ve taken the queen |
