And so we lay under the moon

A frozen river, a river of souls

Let your tears fall on the ice

Somewhere there is hope

In this heartless world together

Once more, forever, evermore

We live in shadows of the Gods

The sunlit homeland is not far

Absolute night, in absolute zero

The universe stops

A foetus in vitro
Bm                 G
I have a river of souls underfoot

One drop creates the light

One drop will fill the night

I need your skill to raise the veil
Bm
Sanctify release
  Bm                    D
A sacrifice at midnight
Bm                   D
Do what must be done
   Bm                          D
I need your help to save them all
 Bm
Save my only son


2nd 🤘 Chorus:

   Bm                    D
Before a body had grown cold
Bm                           D
You were there to steal its soul
    Bm                      D
The son is dead, he told me so
   Bm
I gave him peace, he is let go
   Bm                     D
So now a double threat unfolds
     Bm                D
And purgatory awaits
      Bm                       D
The treble headed hellhound barks
     Bm
And opens up the gates

Look at your life, world of the dead
F             E     F            E
This is your life, world of the dead
F            E       F           E
You have no life, world of the dead
F              E    F
World of the dead

🤘 Outro:
Em   D    G     Bm     Em
We open up the temple Gates
           D         G     Bm
Light the crucible again
Em   D         G      Bm      Em
We watch the phoenix rise in fire
           D            G    Bm
Burning by the ritual flame
Em   D     G
So lay me down
        Bm            Em
In the Shadow of the Gods
