Lyrics
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
I see your silhouette in the sacred flame
I feel your breath, I hear your name
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
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
I hear your voice on the howling wind
A hymn of endings where life begins
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
Oh High Priestess
Lay me down on your altar
Let your name cross my lips before I die
