Shadow of the Hierophant Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Veiling the nightshade
Bride stalks a flower revealed
Nearing the hour
Make haste to their threshold concealed
[Chorus 1]

Casting the same steps
Glimpsing his own fate to come
Melt in the dream void
From which he never can run
[Chorus 1]
Lost in thought, in search of vision
As the moon eclipsed the sun

Tears fill the fountains
Failing their promise to heal
Rippling the waters
Mirror an ended ideal
[Chorus 2]
Deep in thought but robbed of vision
As the moon eclipsed the sun
