Candlemass
The Ebony Throne
[Verse 1]
Where's the muses cave, the isle of the dead?
The sign of Eph is gone, so is the sun
Tired and confused, I sail into the night
With the Devil at my shoulder, I'll be fine
[Verse 2]
I ride the straits of darkness everyday
No light will lead my way from my pain
Drowned in tideless pools, no haven for my mind
In grief, I meet the storm eye to eye
[Chorus]
On the ebony throne lies the dragon stone
My voyage to vanity, oh, take me there
To the ebony throne, I followed the siren song
No enlightened society can bring me back
[Post-Chorus]
In the maelstrom of minds
Like a will-o'-the-wisp
I sail on
[Verse 3]
I sail the depths of apathy alone
The world is fading, I'm a long way from home
Where's the muses cave, the isle of the dead?
The sign of Eph is gone, so is the sun
[Chorus]
On the ebony throne lies the dragon stone
My voyage to vanity, oh, take me there
To the ebony throne, I followed the siren song
No progressive technology can bring me back
