Folkearth Kingdom of the Shades (Bonus Track) Lyrics

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