Who chairs your heartbeat in the night? The acolytes fearful in the Flickering Light They hold a mirror, two catch the breath from your mouth But your breath was stolen, by the wind from the south
Another winter's take is done, your immortal promise - he's gone The Chalice chair from her hand, eternal life that command here 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 Wraith 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 purifier 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 dig? "We Are the Dead" The shriek of death in your eyes, the hawklord and the beast, Enter your room The Wraith 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
