lyrics

I look into the seeds of time, I have seen a bitter vine
Wrapped around a wilting tree, choking out the life of thee
Stars hide your fires, turn your lights from these black desires
Stars hide your fires, turn your lights, turn your lights

We have heard the witches’ tale
Can eyes of envy ever hide beneath a mourner's veil?
I would hold the present fears in me
Against these dark imaginings
You are but a simple man
You have but a feeble heart, I have the darkest plan
Thicker is the blood that flows through my veins
Remorse is but a faded stain

Stars hide your fires, turn your lights from these black desires
Stars hide your fires, turn your lights, turn your lights

Lady we will speak no more
Surely it’s the devil’s tune that we heard before
Evenhanded justice pours the wine, this poisoned cup of mine
I have seen the setting sun,
Never will it rise again till the deed is done
Cowardice will bow to dire cruelty, leave all the rest to me

Stars hide your fires, turn your lights from these black desires
Stars hide your fires, turn your lights, turn your lights

Oh but Lady if we fail? | We’ll not fail
Tell me can you read my face? | It’s a liar's tale
Do you hear the raven’s cry? | It summons thee
Leave all the rest to me
