Order of the Ember Queen
© 2018 SOCAN Michelle Macpherson - lyrics, Jerry Fielden - music and lyrics

 

OPENING
Parchments and principles
Torn asunder
x2


PREVERSE
Solemnly awakened
By crystal moons and satin stars
Take pity on me
Take pity on the night

VERSE 1

Dripping acid rain / hanging from the tongues of disdain
Abandoned in the chains of hell/ this ruler feels the pain

CHORUS
Order of the Ember Queen is
The Mystics’ Requiem
Order of the Ember Queen is
Life, Mirror or Mirage

VERSE 2
Wilted flowers dying/ in the flame’s last lonely rays
This woman had a dream long ago /that was the end of days

CHORUS

BRIDGE 1


VERSE 3

Portents of the dark/ her fire is a light dying out
Screaming ancient tongues/ words exploring loss silent rout


CHORUS

VERSE 4
Burden of the years taking toll / on the dreams of a lonely one
Lying on her back/ watching clouds of death, setting Sun


CHORUS
