Stranger Skies - Shadow Witch

Oh thou who burns in heart for those you find here burning

In this hall whose mighty fires you shall feed in turn

How long have you be crying no mercy for the weak

In the court of the dragon god

What mercy would you wanna seek

On the shore waves break the twin suns sink

Monsters rise to serve the yellow king

Shadows lengthen now through stranger skies

Red dawn comes to watch blue starlight die

Voice of my soul

My song is dead

Die here unsung

My tears un-shed

Nearer yet nearer still ~ no lock could bar his entry

Moving softly at the door ~ the bolts rot with his touch

Past human help or hope, past remorse, past relief

The yellow king ~ his tattered mantle

Opens spreading grief

On the shore waves break the twin suns sink

His tattered mantle opens

Monsters rise to serve the yellow king

The yellow king awakes

Shadows lengthen now through stranger skies

Under stranger skies

Red dawn comes to watch blue starlight die

Voice of my soul

My song is dead

Die here unsung

My tears un-shed

We have eaten of the tree

Eden’s innocence and dreams they flee

A grey blot is growing there in the gloom

Shadows fall about and bloom

Nearer and nearer still ~ no lock could bar his entry

Moving softly at the door ~ the bolts rot with his touch

Past human help or hope, past remorse, past relief

The yellow king ~ his tattered mantle

Opens spreading grief
