Throne Of Amber lyrics:
In the early hours of dawn
Through the garden where the flowers hung
Where the favored ones are waited on
And the weaker ones are filled with song
Well I went mad, I was mad
Surely there’s another way
You know I’ve searched forever
Now the years are only fleeing
Oh
Bring me an axe
Bring me a spade
Bring me a winding sheet
For my grave
And let thy winds
And the tempest beat
And I’ll lie down as cold as clay
Where’s the warm and piercing sun
You know I can’t remember
Long before the violent sea
Surrounded me in misery
I heard their voices something like wings
Bring me an axe
Bring me a spade
Bring me a winding sheet
For my grave
And let thy winds
And the tempest beat
And I’ll lie down as cold as clay
