Haken - Eyes Of Ebony Lyrics

[Verse 1]Ash clouds in the distance littered the skyLight faded in the world as I said "goodbye"The caw of the raven pierced the airWeep now or nevermoreI peered into the eyes of ebony (Ah-ah, ah-ah)In a doleful state of reverieFrozen in the umbra of the past (Ah-ah, ah-ah)As melancholy washed over me[Chorus]Stolen from the lightUnintendedFighting for your lifeLiberated now[Verse 2]You stood tall amid the roar (Ah-ah, ah-ah)Raging against thе black light(Black light)The hermit's timelеss melody (Ah-ah, ah-ah)Will shine on (Shine on) forevermore(Shine on)[Chorus]Stolen from the lightA primordial giant at the gates of ValhallaFreed from limboYou were fighting for your life in the heat of the flameAs the dying embers burnt to ash[Instrumental Break][Bridge]The white rhino sang his last lullabyAt the great gig in the skyThe white rhino sang his last serenadeAs his light began to fadeThe shadowed raven aboveIt called you beyond the veil[Chorus]Stolen from the lightA primordial giant at the gates of ValhallaFreed from limboYou were fighting for your life in the heat of the flameAs the dying embers burnt to ash[Instrumental Break][Verse 3: Ross Jennings & Richard Henshall]At the end of your rope (Ah-ah)In the umbra time stands still (Ah-ah)A deathly silence cracks the airThe eyes of ebony stare no moreAn existential twilight (Ah-ah)A sliver of an eternity (Ah-ah)The time has come now to let goBe rid of your mortal coilThe ash clouds have blown away (Ah-ah, ah-ah)As the sun rises on a new dayYou gave me the power to believe (Ah-ah, ah-ah)As we climbed to the mountaintopYou left your footprints in the sand (Ah-ah, ah-ah)Immortalised, you'll never walk aloneYou gave me the power to dream (Ah-ah, ah-ah)As we strode to the mountaintop[Outro]
