lyrics

Dark drizzle dreams invade my sleep in waves
As lightning cracks in streams that wash away my grave

Staring at the sea, the Sun arises blue
The wind echoes across my face and I can smell sulfur too
Opposing the sea rise peaks of sedimentary
Shadows of yesterday, and cliffs of black and green

And Saturn flies to guide them through the Valley of the Winter Moon

Behind the distant clouds lurk the memories of the dead
And underneath the sand hides the Crown of the Riverbed
The sea begins to boil and the sky turns a darker red
My dreams slip into nightmares above the fountainhead

And Saturn flies to guide them through the Valley of the Winter Moon

Mars begins to tremble with the Scepter of Neptune
He holds the pictures of the dead and hides them from the Moon
Mercury grows still, and braces for the storm
As Hades harbors enemies in fields of ice and lore

And Saturn flies to guide them through the Valley of the Winter Moon

Staring at the Moon, the grey turns into light
The stars are calling to the void with war drums in the night
Deep beneath the sea, a power starts to rise
It fills the land with emptiness and covers it with lies

And Saturn tries to guide them through the Valley of the Winter Moon

Staring at the sea, the Moon is staring too
The nothing that was everything begins to fade to blue
“My time has come,” I say, and whisper my good-byes
My eyes begin to open to see a new Sunrise

And Saturn glides between us and the Valley of the Winter Moon
