[Verse 1] The sun has bled its gold into the sea And left the world in gray and mourning air I climb the hill to find the sanctuary Of the queen who wears the shadow in her hair You are the whisper in the hollow oak The pull within the marrow of my bone Wrapped in a shimmering, celestial cloak Waiting for the dark to claim your throne. [Chorus] Oh, Hidden Mother, Weaver of the Tide, Behind the velvet curtain, you abide. A white-fire heart within a hollow shell, Cast your silver silence like a spell. I call you down from heights I cannot climb, Goddess of the gaps, and Queen of Time. [Verse 2] You do not speak in words that men can hear But in the way the lilies start to bloom You draw the ocean close and hold it near Then sweep the starlight from your marble room A crescent smile, a pale and watchful eye The one who sees the secrets we have kept The ghost who haunts the hallways of the sky While all the loud and angry world has slept. [Chorus] Oh, Hidden Mother, Weaver of the Tide, Behind the velvet curtain, you abide. A white-fire heart within a hollow shell, Cast your silver silence like a spell. I call you down from heights I cannot climb, Goddess of the gaps, and Queen of Time. [Bridge] Waxing in mystery, Waning in grace. The dark side is sacred, The light is your face. Pull the water, pull the blood, Turn the desert into flood! [Final Chorus] Oh, Hidden Mother, Weaver of the Tide, Behind the velvet curtain, you abide. A white-fire heart within a hollow shell, Cast your silver silence like a spell. I call you down from heights I cannot climb, Goddess of the gaps, and Queen of Time. [Outro] The veil is thin... I see you now... In the silver... In the glow... Stay with me... Before the morning... Takes you home.
