The Crimson Crown

(album: When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light - 2019)

The crimson crown fell from the blood red sky
Through the golden clouds

Out from the crown grew mountains and the skies
Out from the diamond drops, the sea and stars
Upon the circle shines the all-seeing eye
Between the Earth and the crimson crown
Shines through the golden clouds

The forest sleeps so quiet
Like flowers in your arms
As the white swans of the night
Fly by the bridge of stars
And I bow before the moon and I pray to the skies
When mist falls on your garden
Bless your temple of the star
And the night falls like silence
And the night, like velvet silence

In this temple of the golden Nightingale
These flowers still weep so silent
Dance around the gentle moonlight
With the touch of the summer wind
And the lakes glimmer silver, like the tears from your eyes
But there are no goodbyes
Just light between the stars

Sing for the night
Sing for the morning rise
Like birds of the night upon the light of the Evenstar
The goddess of the sky
A lighthouse in the night
These temples won't fall
Built on a crimson crown

Out from the crown grew mountains and the skies
Out from the diamond drops, the sea and stars
Upon the circle shines the all-seeing eye
Between the Earth and the crimson crown
Shines through the golden clouds
