  • And so we lay under the moon
    The stars have crossed our paths tonight
    So journey on, our wandering souls
    Let our tears fall on our road
    Against the sun, there are shapes in the fire
    Around the stars are blue and grey
    Halos, forever into the light (into the light, into the light)

    A pathway, silvered and untold
    A frozen river, a river of souls
    Let your tears fall on the ice
    In the shadow of the gods

    Somewhere there is hope
    In this heartless world, together
    To come again on this new earth
    Once more, forever, evermore (evermore)

    Journey on, beyond the stars
    Our weary souls, the road is long
    We live in shadows of the gods
    The soundly homeland is not far

    Absolute night, in absolute zero
    The universe stops, a fetus in vitro
    I have a river of souls under foot
    One drop creates the light
    One drop will fill the night

    I need a necromancer, the science has no use
    I need your skill to raise the veil
    Sanctify, release
    A sacrifice at midnight, do what must be done
    I need your help to save them all
    Save my only son

    This is my world, world of the dead
    This is my life, world of the dead

    Before a body had grown cold, you were there to steal its soul
    Your son is dead, he told me so
    I gave him peace, he is let go
    So now a double threat unfolds and purgatory awaits
    The triple headed hellhound fox had opened up the gates

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

    We are part of the temple gates
    Light the crucible again
    We'll watch a phoenix rise in fire
    Burning by the ritual flames
    So lay me down in the shadow of the gods Writer/s: Paul Bruce Dickinson, Roger Ramirez
