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
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
