WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM LYRICS

1. Queen Of The Borrowed Light

If I, if I travel out one day
And there you are, staring back at me
Your gaze lowers
And now turns, and looks onward
You fly upon wings of your own creation
I see the light of the night sky in your eyes

I ask for the gift of your fire
Don't hope that I were one of us were I to die
I know the way of the one who howls
In the darkness of the night
Where no longer am I afraid
Regardless

We'll fly upon wings of your own creation
I see the light of the night sky in your eyes

I...
(You're so late, they're already stricken)
I know we are alone
(They are beyond hope. The end of all our scriptures)
There is nothing left
(Where is flora?)
Where is fauna?
(Go to wage war, to slay and smite, it's this way)
The scriptures, the horizon
(There is darkness coming to the land)
Darkness travels nearer
(You go in celebration)
Or in sadness, they try to capitalize
(In your own yearning for the throne)
Precious power, braving the forests
(Where I come to leverage the stones, before the flame engulfs our forest)
We'll fly upon wings of your own creation
I see the light of the night sky in your eyes

I'm happy wherever I can see your eyes

To where we will be entombed on hallowed ground
Blinded, suffering, silent
Toward the bitter winter
On our way, hallowed days, ever riding

2. Face In A Night-Time Mirror – Part 1

[Voices, simultaneously]
[Voice 1:]
I will go back to my wild stream
Back to the winter I know
I'm all alone
Back to the wolves in their forest
Where I was once home
I stake my journey on that they'll welcome me back
I'm tired of waiting 'til they'll bring me home

[Voice 2:]
Then I'm tired of this, I've had enough
I'm lying down in my home
But I'm ever awake
For another journey

[Voice 3:]
You can't wait, you're on your own, riding alone
Along with your moon and sun and fire

I yearn for your spirals in thy forest
The moon is high above the murmuring trees of the forest
My heartbeat dances with the sun
The shores of the shining river
Have arisen in the distance
The forest fauna trembles
Prey of kings and lords of men
I'll guard the palaces of my life
Therein lies a forlorn nomad:
A child who wears a loincloth

The river seems to flow
Far into our forest
And rushes to the side
Of the pounding in my head
It's so pretty
I just rest

My blood stands still
I am shown a terrible flood

[Voices, simultaneously]
[Voice 1:]
We go home tonight
The fires are ruining our homeland
No, no, no, not right now
The sight of this
Wherever I go for shelter, somehow it burns

[Voice 2:]
We don't know who made the fires,
The fires burning all that we know
And I scream, what is there all to do,
To determine who did this. Can you face the flames?

[Voice 3:]
Go and don't look behind you
What did you do to all of our homes?
Go where home is
Then it will be you in the night
Say goodbye

[Voice 4:]
The fires don't seem to be retreating.
The children will be left behind when you go,
Wanting you to live for them.
But I see now how you couldn't survive
Staying here in your home.
Go now and please stay away from this place,
We are guarding our treasure

[Voice 5:]
Who do you want?
Take a look around and you'll see
For I always seem to be around, helping you to face the fires
I used to know you. Haven't you noticed that I've been helping you to face the fires
And I have a feeling that it was you who made the fires
And in my tears of blood I declare that...

We wash away
Wash it all away
Beckon winter
Follow me
To where our children drink
The purified well they know
Harvesting, plentiful of joy
I know we are back in, back in our home,
And our future, I see it
In our wonderful forest I know
I know...

I hope some day in this space I will hear him
His voice one of wisdom and the wolves

[Repeated:]
Everybody in your hands, go back to home and tell of what you see here.
Go to your hidden secret place, does anyone know where you go for help?
They think you're immortalized

The...
(He comes from the throne...)
Slaughter
(To reclaim his throne)
Of an entire...
(Something isn't right)
(Where have you been? We've looked for you)
Cruel winter
(The fires burn through. Something's wrong)
In this sanctuary above
(Is there's nothing you can do?)
Our killers have set fire to the wolves' dwelling
(You are in danger that way)
It's scented...
(Go no longer through in my realm like a king)
As the first morning...
(He is afraid)
Into our forest
As the hunters

I know I am prey
I know I have not long

As you go moving in our realm of the trees do not fear us, as you go through.
When you go, bring the spells, and no longer appear here as we appear

I chose who my better hero was
(Look to the moon and see)
Above the lost stones the fire glows

Just read the lost stones.
In my realm, behind the trees we can't help you.
I see, through water, through fire I see everything.

I'll rest and scream and wash away
I spit on my fifty years in my throne alone
I'll step down and lower
My soon-to-fall useless crown
I still cry for your help

3. Face In A Night-Time Mirror – Part 2

[Voice 1:]
Will you die today?
Will you die to save the crown?
Do you know if you'll die for the weak human?
Then you'll realize at the throne
a monster will be there in disguise
He'll run away and hide
He'll run into our magical forest
He must no longer come into our forest
Who are you fooling
apart from the rest of your men,
to whom you owe their lives
Everybody is involved
How are you really a king?

[Voice 2:]
For all my faults, for all their wasted guilt, I ought to help, all around guarantors sleep

I lie in impotence
Can you fight the danger in sight?
Do I run from this and to my room,
Or do I falter, screaming?
This revelation... I have failed you all
They're close, they've taken the women
Your fosters have not escaped

If I were to enforce my objection with violence
Like a wolf I will gnash my teeth
Run away and don't wait for the sun to rise
Forever I'll slaughter
Your spirits too
Guard my land, guard my crown

Sorrow and pain inside
Fruits of loss
With my soul
Soul... soul...

Until my halo rejoins my fire, moon and sun, you'll see through,
Through my hate; I'm out of my mind in my hunger to look through the trees

[Voice 2:]
It's towards the southern leg, but not through my hills

The wolf's biting jaws
And still as he speaks
My prize is ready but you are dying
It all flashes by
I plead with you: breathe again

And what's left of our world?
Smokestacks and waterways
Trampling this underwood
I sit staring in disbelief at the river and I pray:
I seek the pale face of the wolf in the crystal mirror of the water
I seek the pale face of the wolf in the crystal mirror of the water
I seek the pale face of the wolf in the crystal mirror of the water

4. (A Shimmering Radiance) Diadem Of 12 Stars

The strength that resides in contemplation
Bathes me in silver starlight
I will lead this beast on a chain of flowers
Fear not the jaws that devour soul

Between two pillars I have sat
Great oxen in the periphery
I ride in full course swift
Through the dark night and the rain pours down

You are a daughter of heaven
12 stars circle your brow
But you do not see them and the rain pours down
Our time in this garden is past

Nature and her spirits are on the horizon
(And witness the stones, they're past their journey, lay down to rest)
And will slaughter them
(And they will go back to the realm...)
To their own horror
(...Far under here in their own sanctuary)
They're all afraid of her, falling still

(Gone to the wild forest, the perilous wood, back to the wild wood, and tell him don't stay here. The crown has overcome him, trying not to remember the past. Where's my armor? It won't be long 'til we get back to the forest. I have my armor, let's hurry to that castle,
unless you don't know that I mean it)

In the candlelight, spirits cry in the night, dancing within my fire

(The religion of your prideness, in your eyes I can see it. As I look in your eyes I think of your last words, that you don't care you you hurt. In your prideness you see nothing at all, and as punishment, you're no longer free in the forest. The tyrant I know is no
longer free in the forest)

Their eyes in disgust of man
Hurry down gather all…
…who are enslaved by an amorousness
Far away, and I'm...
far away, and I will never have your help... your help...
far away...

And I'm not sorry for anything
For I've seen it end
We're not in the darkness
Where we lay our heads
Celebrate the kingdom's throne
How could I, how could I not stay here?
For enough, I'll at least inspire for a long time
I'll heal from the ruin
And the sorrow from all of our loss
No longer there will be ruin
We'll go to our ancestors forever

The strength that resides in contemplation
Bathes me in silver starlight
I will lead this beast on a chain of flowers
Fear not the jaws that devour soul

Between two pillars I have sat
Great oxen in the periphery
I ride in full course swift
Braving the night and the rain pours down
You are a daughter of heaven
12 stars circle your brow
But you do not see them and the rain pours down
I've enjoyed our time in this blessed garden

Into the hall of gold
In your light eyes I can see that it should be mine
In your light eyes, in your light eyes I can see

When the trying winters pass, just hold. They will pass.
My task for you is done.
Just the wolves will find their entrance.

I will rule the night and its darkness. I will rule your better thoughts to quell your frenzied desire

I will rule the night and its darkness. I will rule your better thoughts to quell your frenzied desire
