Where stone lions prowl
Sunlight glints on razors
Trees of water sprout
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
Drape the dome with velvet
Throw chandeliers at the sky
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
Through mist and fire
Books of fables and hours
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
Juggle with orbs and sceptres
Laced with ivory and of jade
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
White with fear and axe head
Daggers draw a bloody text
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
Gods that shimmer and whisper
Sigh over lake and sea
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
Build a crow gallows
A black noose, to hang the sun
And blood crowns their brow
Where stone lions prowl
Build a crow gallows
A black noose, to hang the sun
And blood crowns their brow
