[Verse 1] The night the doves killed the crows, Rats feasted on the bones. The reason why the owl only knows. When a spider feeds on a firefly it still glows. [chorus] Burning candles upon the altar of equivalent exchange Book of shadows with intentions contained Cauldron boiling enchantments to stir Blood and tears unbinding pain... when a ribbon is named [verse 2] Magic spells and fortunes untold In the end you reap what you sewn Wolves tell hungry lies when nights are cold Survival is not always the path you get shown [chorus] Burning candles upon the altar of equivalent exchange Book of shadows with intentions contained Cauldron boiling enchantments to stir Blood and tears unbinding pain... when a ribbon is named [verse 3] Secrets told by trees carried by wind as it blows A river runs but never walks to wherever it flows Nightmares can make you wake up from dreams Sometimes a wish is not always what it seems [chorus] Burning candles upon the altar of equivalent exchange Book of shadows with intentions contained Cauldron boiling enchantments to stir Blood and tears unbinding pain... when a ribbon is named [Chanted Verse] Omnem potestatem meam mihi revoco, Veritatem solutam video. In luce mea tenebrae fugiunt, Claustrum teneo, ego sum clavis. Meum teneo, me liberabo. Ut volo, sic fiat.
