Exalted Above Thrones Lyrics

Oh, queen of the night, hear my call
I raise my sword as many times before

Calling for the empress to return
Opening my veins, releasing my blood
And with the burning midnight mist she came,
Pale white skin and eyes of blackest flames

Nocturnal goddess of the deep
Mistress of the ancient dark
I fell into her cold embrace
The enchantress of the stars

Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her visions were now mine

As if the sun were neverborn,
We played among the stars
Drinking the light of the goatmoon,
The universe was ours

With the purity in her kisses
I fell through the blackened skies
Promising life everlasting
As a king and queen we'd rule
And in dreams eternal we met
Dancing through this hellish night
Floating through worlds beyond cosmos

Giving her what was hers
Pain sweet as silver thorns
Feeling exalted above thrones
Her visions were now mine

I felt exalted above thrones
Love me - destroy me - suck me dry
But dawn came as it always does
Fading away, she left me crying

With the loss of my betrothed burning
I left my shell and this mortal world,
To recieve life everlasting...

Life everlasting...
