A Shadow Flickers Overhead (Acoustic) Lyrics


Return!

A shadow flickers overhead

Whilst clouds are dragged like palms upon the knife

Invoked under guest star

I am he who is born of the skies, infernal

Phantom!

Led murmuration of the dead

The harbinger of daybreak and grieving

A storm of black fire

I am king and my throne is of splinters, eternal

From under wilds of wind

A vacuum signalling

Re-birth of the southern king

A storm is raging in

The mind of he who sought the heavens

In stars above

Return as blood seeps

(your hands are cupped in chalice)

Return and drink deep

(and drink deep)

For an eternity you've known me

Torrent of fluttering

Oblivion in his wings

Unhallowed, the black crow king

Strange Doorways beckon me

From uttered liturgy

Thy servant of calamity

Return!

A shadow flickers overhead

Whilst clouds are dragged like palms upon the knife

Invoked under guest star

I am he who is born of the skies, infernal

Phantom!

Led murmuration of the dead

The harbinger of daybreak and grieving

A storm of black fire

I am king and my throne is of splinters, eternal

As blood seeps

(your hands are cupped in chalice)

Return

(and drink deep)

For an eternity you've known me

Return!
