about

I like to write lyrics that tell a story. In this song a woman loses her lover, and in her grief tries necromancy to bring him back. The magic backfires and instead she crosses over to the other side with him.

lyrics

I thought I heard him call my name last night
But there was no one there, no one there
I saw him standing in the pale sunlight
Hands reaching out to me, calling me to his side.

Queen of night guide my way across the water
Sex Magic, blood and semen on the alter
Crown of lilies I see visions and I falter
Death grip, the push and pull, who will conquer?

I walk in silence with the dead tonight,
the valley twisting down, thorns clawing at my side.
A stir of echos in the house of dreams,
the voices echoing, but now the choice is made.

Queen of night guide my way across the water
Sex Magic, blood and semen on the alter
Crown of lilies I see visions and I falter
Death grip, the push and pull, who will conquer?

I cross the space between the dark and light,
my hands are growing cold, there is no wrong or right.
To hold my lover in my arms again,
I tried to hold him back instead he pulled me in.
