Ash clouds in the distance littered the sky
Light faded in the world as I said "goodbye"
The caw of the raven pierced the air
Weep now or nevermore

I peered into the eyes of ebony
In a doleful state of reverie
Frozen in the umbra of the past
As melancholy washed over me

Stolen from the light
Unintended
Fighting for your life
Liberated now

You stood tall amid the roar
Raging against the black light
(Black light)
The hermit's timeless melody
Will shine on forevermore
(Shine on)

Stolen from the light
A primordial giant
At the gates of Valhalla
Freed from limbo
You were fighting for your life
In the heat of the flame
As the dying embers burnt to ash

The white rhino sang his last lullaby
At the great gig in the sky
The white rhino sang his last serenade
As his light began to fade

The shadowed raven above
It called you beyond the veil

Stolen from the light
A primordial giant
At the gates of Valhalla
Freed from limbo
You were fighting for your life
In the heat of the flame
As the dying embers burnt to ash

At the end of your rope
In the umbra time stands still
A deathly silence cracks the air
The eyes of ebony stare no more

An existential twilight
A sliver of an eternity
The time has come now to let go
Be rid of your mortal coil

The ash clouds have blown away
As the sun rises on a new day
You gave me the power to believe
As we climbed to the mountaintop

You left your footprints in the sand
Immortalised, you'll never walk alone
You gave me the power to dream
As we strode to the mountaintop
