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
[Instrumental]

Em D Bm Em
A pathway, silvered and untold
D Bm Em
A frozen river, a river of souls
D Bm Em
Let your tears fall on the ice
D Bm C
In the shadow of the Gods

Somewhere there is hope
G D Bm
In this heartless world together
Em D C#m
To come again on this new earth
C Bm
Once more, forever, evermore
[Chorus]

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
[Verse 3]

Absolute night, in absolute zero

The universe stops

A foetus in vitro

I have a river of souls underfoot

One drop creates the light
G Bm
One drop will fill the night
[Riff]

I need a necromancer, that science has no use

I need your skill to raise the veil

A sacrifice at midnight

Do what must be done

I need your help to save them all

Save my only son

[Verse 4]
Bm D
Before a body had grown cold
Bm D
You were there to steal its soul
Bm D
The son is dead, he told me so
Bm
I gave him peace, he is let go
Bm D
So now a double threat unfolds
Bm D
And purgatory awaits
Bm D
The treble headed hellhound barks
Bm
And opens up the gates
[2nd Chorus]
F E F E
Look at your life, world of the dead
F E F E
This is your life, world of the dead
F E F E
You have no life, world of the dead
F E F
World of the dead
[Solo]
Em D G Bm x4
[Outro]
Em D G Bm Em
We open up the temple Gates

Light the crucible again

We watch the phoenix rise in fire

Burning by the ritual flame
Em D G
So lay me down
Bm Em
In the Shadow of the Gods
