Vast grey and crimson claw - snowblind and perplexed Alone in that moonlight - so close to dreams Beneath a moon - and gods above But there beyond - coiled and armed It?s the lion and the sun - the serpent and the wand The night shall cover all - let it be ever thus It?s the lion and the sun - the certain and the one A halo ever black - in the dark and endless burn Gods above beneath behind inside beyond Cloaked and armed - as the shadows commence "come forth o children under the stars - and take your fill of love" "you shall be few and secret - and rule the many and the known" Hail the lion and the sun - the serpent and the wand The night shall cover all - let it be ever thus It?s the lion and the sun - the certain and the one A halo ever black - in the dark and endless burn As the shadows commence - and demons erase your silver circles And all hell is closing in - "in a sort of runic rhyme" Blood and thorns and tears - a twilight torch light A secret rune a secret tune - may the raven guard and wand protect
