lyrics

"What you have to tender to me
I will hear it gladly
The moon lights a gap in the trees
Two paths lie behind me
My empire stretches from the hills to the sea
In my name you will find me
Between a river and the world

For when they are lost or feel the yearning need
So many across the earth have called to me
And so deep in their hearts where I plant a seed
So marking the crossroads where we finally meet

The further that you run
The harder it is to hide
Build a tomb of gold
To seal the hole inside
Swimming in the dark
Towards the fading light
Souls fall to earth
Like towers from the sky

If you have a numbing disease
I will heal it gladly
I’ll sell you the strength that you need
So you can stand proudly
All that I will ask in turn is eternity
A thirst you can quench with aching fervency

And when you are lost I’ll be the star you see
So many have found their way to the grave with me
Beyond their torment screams sing wordlessly
You stand at the doorway and I hold the key

The further that you run
The harder it is to hide
Build a tomb of gold
To seal the hole inside
Swimming in the dark
Towards the fading light
Souls fall to earth
Like towers from the sky

And when you have lost the lights will start to dim
Your time is now up inside this worldly skin
You’ve lapped up the pleasures and you’ve lived as king
But where you are headed that won’t mean a thing

The further that you run
The harder it is to hide
Build a tomb of gold
To seal the hole inside
Swimming in the dark
Towards the fading light
Souls fall to earth
Like towers from the sky

Now if you have a deal for me
I will hear it gladly
But no one sates hunger for free
So make this choice wisely
My empire stretches from the hills to the sea
In anguish you will find me
You will find me..."
