Moonveil Music - The Raven's Tithe

The bridge is waiting in the mist
A cold embrace, a phantom kiss
I hold the memory in my hand
Before I leave the living land
The water flows but makes no sound
Within the shadow, I am bound

No silver coin... No golden ring...
It wants the song I used to sing...

Take the light! Take the days!
Leave me in the hollow maze!
I pay the tithe! I pay the cost!
For every bridge that I have crossed!
The feather falls... The price is paid!

I see her face, I see it clear
But it is fading, year by year
The color turns to winter grey
As I begin to walk away
The silence is the heavy weight
Upon the turning of the fate

No silver coin... No golden ring...
It wants the song I used to sing!

Take the light! Take the days!
Leave me in the hollow maze!
I pay the tithe! I pay the cost!
For every bridge that I have crossed!

INTO THE DARK!
The tithe... is paid
