Candlemass Ebony Throne lyrics

Candlemass
Chapter Vi
Ebony Throne
Where's the muses cave
the isle of the dead
The sign of Eph is gone
so is the sun
Tired and confused
I sail into the night
With the devil at my shoulder
I'll be fine

I ride the straits of darkness
everyday
No light will lead my way
from my pain
Drowned in tideless pools
no haven for my mind
In grief I meet the storm
eye to eye

On the ebony throne
lies the dragonstone
My voyage to vanity

oh, take me there

To the ebony throne
I followed the sirensong
* No enlightened society
can bring me back
In the maelstrom of minds
like a will-o-the=wisp
I sail on ...

I sail the depths of apathy

alone
The world is fading
I'm a long way from home
Where's the muses cave
the island of the dead
The sign of Eph is gone
so is the sun

* No progressive technology
