Eyes of Ebony

歌詞

Ash clouds in the distance littered the sky Light faded in the world as I said "goodbye" The caw of the raven pierced the air Weep now or nevermore I peered into the eyes of ebony In a doleful state of reverie Frozen in the umbra of the past As melancholy washed over me Stolen from the light Unintended Fighting for your life Liberated now You stood tall amid the roar Raging against the black light (Black light) The hermit's timeless melody Will shine on forevermore (Shine on) Stolen from the light A primordial giant At the gates of Valhalla Freed from limbo You were fighting for your life In the heat of the flame As the dying embers burnt to ash The white rhino sang his last lullaby At the great gig in the sky The white rhino sang his last serenade As his light began to fade The shadowed raven above It called you beyond the veil Stolen from the light A primordial giant At the gates of Valhalla Freed from limbo You were fighting for your life In the heat of the flame As the dying embers burnt to ash At the end of your rope In the umbra time stands still A deathly silence cracks the air The eyes of ebony stare no more An existential twilight A sliver of an eternity The time has come now to let go Be rid of your mortal coil The ash clouds have blown away As the sun rises on a new day You gave me the power to believe As we climbed to the mountaintop You left your footprints in the sand Immortalised, you'll never walk alone You gave me the power to dream As we strode to the mountaintop
