Lyrics

Verse I

Shadows dance where the moonlight shines

An echo in the dark when the stars align

The prophet’s words on raven’s wings

Fate is spun when the priestess sings

Pre-Chorus

I see your silhouette in the sacred flame

I feel your breath, I hear your name

Chorus

Oh High Priestess

Lay me down on your altar

Let your name cross my lips before I die

Oh High Priestess

Lay me down on your altar

If the gods demand a name let it be mine

Verse II

Your eyes are a storm that consumes my spirit

Your words are a spell, only I can hear it

The whole world trembles beneath your will

Risen to heaven or dragged to hell

Pre-Chorus

I hear your voice on the howling wind

A hymn of endings where life begins

Chorus

Oh High Priestess

Lay me down on your altar

Let your name cross my lips before I die

Oh High Priestess

Lay me down on your altar

If the gods demand a name let it be mine

Outro

Oh High Priestess

Lay me down on your altar

Let your name cross my lips before I die
