Lyrics
[Verse]
Moonlight drips through the cypress knees
Staining the water a heavy ink.
Two points of obsidian watch the breeze,
Waiting for the world to blink.
Massive crowns of twisted pine
Rise from a brow of midnight fur.
He steps across the boundary line,
Where the air begins to blur.
[Chorus]
Black velvet king,
Ghost of the hollow,
Black velvet king,
Where the light won't follow.
Ancient and cold,
Tall in the mist,
Ancient and cold,
A dream never kissed.
[Verse]
He walks on hooves of polished coal
Leaving no print in the damp gray moss.
He keeps the keys to a buried soul,
Gifts for the ones who feel the loss.
The forest bows a silent plea
To the dark that breathes without a sound.
He is the root of the oldest tree,
Rising from the hallowed ground.
[Chorus]
Black velvet king,
Ghost of the hollow,
Black velvet king,
Where the light won't follow.
Ancient and cold,
Tall in the mist,
Ancient and cold,
A dream never kissed.
[Bridge]
Soft as a memory, sharp as a thorn,
Heavy the weight of the onyx horn.
Don't turn your head when the owls go still,
Something is climbing the western hill.
[Chorus]
Black velvet king,
Ghost of the hollow,
Black velvet king,
Where the light won't follow.
Ancient and cold,
Tall in the mist,
Ancient and cold,
A dream never kissed.
[Outro]
