Palace of the Night

And I
Have touched the black
And I
Released the latch
I felt
Vultures at my back
Sun grew pale
Slips through the cup
Slip through the cup

Come with me, he said
I will show you where
The spell is deepest
Come with me
To midnights edge
Right along side the moon
The pull is strongest
Come with me
To the palace of night

And I
Have wandered
An eternity
The plagues down under
Set every demon free

I have had them
I have hunted to where I was empty
Prince of darkness
Called me under
Into royalty
Royalty

Come with me, he said
I will show you where
The spell is deepest
Come with me
To midnights edge
Right along side the moon
The pull is strongest
Come with me
To the palace of night

I am the fear under your skin
The rage of the battalion
I am the longing we desire
I am the baptism of fire
I am the fury burning bright
I am the dark that leads to light
You plunder depths to reach the heights
In palace of night

Come with me, he said
I will show you where
The spell is deepest
Come with me
To midnights edge
Right along side the moon
The pull is strongest
Come with me
To the palace of night
