Lyrics
Ash clouds in the distance littered the sky
Light faded in the world as I said, "Goodbye"
The caw of the raven pierced the air
Weep now, or nevermore
I peered into the eyes of ebony (ah-ah, ah-ah)
In a doleful state of reverie
Frozen in the umbra of the past (ah-ah, ah-ah)
As melancholy washed over me
Stolen from the light
Unintended
Fighting for your life
Liberated now
You stood tall amid the roar (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Raging against the black light
(Black light)
The hermit's timeless melody (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Will shine on (shine on) forevermore
(Shine on)
Stolen from the light
A primordial giant at the gates of Valhalla
Freed from limbo
You were fighting for your life in the heat of the flame
As the dying embers burnt to ash
The white rhino sang his last lullaby
At the great gig in the sky
The white rhino sang his last serenade
As his light began to fade
The shadowed raven above
It called you beyond the veil
Stolen from the light
A primordial giant at the gates of Valhalla
Freed from limbo
You were fighting for your life in the heat of the flame
As the dying embers burnt to ash
At the end of your rope (ah-ah)
In the umbra time stands still (ah-ah)
A deathly silence cracks the air
The eyes of ebony stare no more
An existential twilight (ah-ah)
A sliver of an eternity (ah-ah)
The time has come now to let go
Be rid of your mortal coil
The ash clouds have blown away (ah-ah, ah-ah)
As the sun rises on a new day
You gave me the power to believe (ah-ah, ah-ah)
As we climbed to the mountaintop
You left your footprints in the sand (ah-ah, ah-ah)
Immortalised, you'll never walk alone
You gave me the power to dream (ah-ah, ah-ah)
As we strode to the mountaintop
