Lyrics
Snowfires garden of cosmos
a shining star of light
Sapphire skies trimmed with gold
great spheres of ivory white
darkness fell upon his world
from a fallen angel
his wings of fire upon his breath
blew shadows of black holes
his crooked fingers chokes the throats of tomorrow
he cursed the right and the light
and gave sorrows
screaming cries and love and laughter
slain by his sword
his razor tongue
slashed the word
as the battle axe of black screams and roars
Snowfire and the old wizard
saucers and officers
inside the hour glass of sand
the bloodshed was astir
he cast his wonder and his shield
and wrath upon the foe
and cast them underneath the ground
as far as he could throw
trumpeters and sapphire horns shall be blown
for the love beyond anything ever known
yellow lateens shines the path
knocking at your door
open up from inside
and climb the spiral staircase to evermore
love and joy for evermore
