Act 2: Visions of the Moon

[Verse 1] Black towers bow tonight Under a throat of stone The warlock drinks his name From a cup of stolen bone His gates were made of smoke His law was etched in fear He crowned himself with ash And called the dark, "my dear" [Pre-Chorus] But the moon climbs slow Silver on the knives Every lie he sold Starts moving in the light [Chorus] Moon rise, burn the mask Moon rise, tear it back His kingdom was a trick And the cracks all know his name Moon rise, bring the truth Moon rise, break him through The devil’s deal is shown And the throne becomes the flame [Verse 2] The banners rot to thread The pylons split and sing Charmed mirrors in the hall Return a ruined king He fed the crowd with dread He fed the night with vows Now every whispered pact Is crawling out somehow [Pre-Chorus] Hear the iron groan Hear the towers cry What he kept in shadow Stands revealed to the sky [Chorus] Moon rise, burn the mask Moon rise, tear it back His kingdom was a trick And the cracks all know his name Moon rise, bring the truth Moon rise, break him through The devil’s deal is shown And the throne becomes the flame [Bridge] Now look at your hands What have they become? Ink on empty air And a kingdom sold for none The devils wait in rows At the edge of his pride They laugh in the open Where the moon cannot hide [Final Chorus] Moon rise, burn the mask\r Moon rise, tear it back\r His kingdom was a trick\r And the cracks all know his name\r Moon rise, bring the truth\r Moon rise, break him through\r The devil’s deal is shown\r And the throne becomes the flame\r Crown of smoke\r Ash to stone\r Moon above\r King alone\r \r [Spoken Word Outro, whispered] ...I shall not let this come to pass...
