Kingdom Of The Shades

[Bonus track]

I see the wolves gathered on the hill
And the carrion birds that fly
Etched against the (witching) moon&#8230;
I was a string in Apollo&#8217;s lyre
I was the sword in a warrior&#8217;s hand
I was the crown on an emperor&#8217;s brow
I was the seal on a sorcerer&#8217;s heart&#8230;
I saw the glory of Atlantis fall&#8212;the jeweled spires that would gleam no more&#8230;
I saw the grandeur that once was Greece&#8212;its crumbling walls I now call my home&#8230;
I see a woman crying on my mound&#8212;she has been lover and homeland to me:
Alas! I know I will not see her again&#8212;the kingdom of the shades is my home&#8230;
Where the Sidhe play mournful tunes
Where the sea is black, without a shore
Where meadows are strewn with ash
