Let It Be Ever Thus

Vast grey
And crimson claw
Snowblind and perplexed
Alone in that moonlight
So close to dreams
Beneath a moon
That guards above
But there, beyond
Coiled and armed
It's the lion and the sun
The certain and the one
The night shall cover all
Let it be ever thus
It's the lion and the sun
The certain and the one
Her halo will black
In the dark and endless burn
Guards above
Beneath, behind
Inside, beyond
Cloaked and armed
As the shadows commence
Come forth, all children
Under the stars
And take your fill of love
You shall be few and secret
And rule the many and the none
Hail the lion and the sun
The certain and the one
The night shall cover all
Let it be ever thus
It's the lion and the sun
The certain and the one
Her halo will black
In the dark and endless burn
As the darkness
Commences
And demons erase your silver circles
And all hell is closing in
In a sort of runic rhyme
Blood and thorns and tears
But twilight torchlight
A secret room, a secret tune
May the raven guard
And one protect
Hail the lion and the sun
The certain and the one
The night shall cover all
Let it be ever thus
It's the lion and the sun
The certain and the one
Her halo will black
In the dark and endless burn
