WHERE NEVER SUN HATH SHONE

[Verse 1]  
Darkling power mounts within the dust.  
There looms a wooden form, from one trunk wrought.  
Each of its faces keeps a road
As daylight wanes.

[Pre-Chorus]  
The candles gutter. Bread and incense burn.
In the ember’s glow
Death unbars the gate.

[Chorus]  
Draw near in mercy to the troubled house.  
Reveal the secrets folded up in night.

[Verse 2]  
The threshold knows the weight of every step.  
To few is hidden wisdom given.  
No god holds sway beyond the gate.

[Breakdown]  
Cast out the vile.

[Final Chorus]  
Draw near in mercy to the troubled house.  
Unfold what lies buried in the night.

[Outro]  
A lamp burns where never sun hath shone.  
The dead stand still.  
Their shadows cross the threshold.
