Moonlit Throne

The candles flicker on the stone I walk these halls alone My velvet dress drags on the floor I've been here forevermore The moon is full, the sky is black There is no turning back I made a deal so long ago With the ones down below They call me queen of the night Ruler of the endless twilight But sometimes I still remember The warmth of a dying ember I am the shadow in the mist The lips you'll never get to kiss I am the cold beneath your skin The darkness waiting from within I am the queen upon this throne Forever silent, never known The moonlight is my only friend This is the life that has no end The ravens whisper in my ear They tell me you are near Another soul who lost their way Begging me to let you stay I've seen a thousand come and go Their faces all look so Familiar but I don't recall I've built an eternal wall They call me queen of the night Ruler of the endless twilight But sometimes I still remember The warmth of a dying ember I am the shadow in the mist The lips you'll never get to kiss I am the cold beneath your skin The darkness waiting from within I am the queen upon this throne Forever silent, never known The moonlight is my only friend This is the life that has no end If I could go back once again Before the sorrow, before the pain I'd run into the morning light And leave behind this endless night But the chains are wrapped too tight I'm married to the endless night So I'll remain in my domain And watch the world go by again I am the shadow in the mist The lips you'll never get to kiss I am the cold beneath your skin The darkness waiting from within I am the queen upon this throne Forever silent, never known The moonlight is my only friend This is the life that has no end No end No end The moonlight calls me home again No end No end The queen of night will never bend
