The Palace Behind the Mist - Chinese Mythology Fantasy Music

She came through the mist and silk eyes like a hidden flame Took my hand, said follow me, spoke my wanting name Past the stones and willow smoke where the cold rain never dies I walked behind her steady heels and lost my own reply She smiled like she knew my heart, like she kept it in her palm Every step the fog grew gold, every breath grew calm Take me deeper now, into the mist gate Take me deeper now, where the old gods wait I was yours that night, in your velvet light Take me deeper now, into the mist gate The palace rose from nowhere with jade roofs, moon high walls Gates carved full of ancient moths and a thousand silent calls Inside the broken god form sat in chains of pearl and bone Their eyes were stars gone dark for years, their prayers like hammered stone You touched my chin and turned me close, your perfume turned to smoke Then I saw the iron keys hanging where you'll sleep one straw Take me deeper now, into the mist gate Take me deeper now, where the old gods wait I was yours that night, in your velvet light Take me deeper now, into the mist gate You were not my guide at all, you were the lock, the lure Soft voice made of honeyed ash hands that kept the prison pure And when you left, the mirrors cracked, the marble bled red gold You said I led you here for this, you sank me cold Take me deeper now, into the mist gate Take me deeper now, where the old gods wait I was yours that night, in your velvet light Take me deeper now, into the mist Take me deeper now, let the seals break wide Take me deeper now, let the sun I was yours that night, till the truth cut through Take me deeper now, I was made for you Take me deeper now, into the mist gate
