Select language to translate this lyric
Shone the sign, shone the star
Wed on vile faith
From the cradle of dust and war
Rose prophetess pure unlaid
Celestial whore, virgin goddess
Daughter of deceivers
Mother of unbelievers
When gods of any child
Any child of nine
Turn to worship their kin as divine
Truth that frees no soul
What is shorn atones no vow
What is born is forever lost
Is forever lost
Childbride riding the red ropes
From these grins the fate was sung
Against these throats the promise broke
Marked with duskblood and seum
In sacred forgiveness defile goddess
What is binding must be shorn
As will fire retaliate in kind
Never been a flame without a thorn
So must light reveal and blind
When gods of any child
Any child of nine
Turn to worship their kin as divine
Truth that frees no soul
What is shorn atones no vow
What is born is forever lost
When gods of any child
Any child of nine
Forever lost, forever lost
Truth that frees no soul
What is shorn atones no vow
