"The Oracle" lyrics - CROWN LANDS

[I. Augury]
Shining rays
Cards in her hand
Pine away
Reveal the plan

To you I give
This ancient feeling
It creeps up inside
And you can't let go

Washed away
Wind on the sand
By the way
Reveal the hand

To you I give
This ancient feeling
It creeps up inside
'Til you can't let go

Yeah, I've come a long way
So much more to go
And I'll trudge
This frozen waste
The Oracle tells me so...

[II. THE ICE WITCH]
Yes we know
What you must do
To seek the ancient shrine
The ocean's lure is wicked
And soon your lungs
Will fill with brine

Dark stormy waters
You must travel deep and yon
The only way
Or so they say
To command the deep beyond

I will roam the endless open sea
(Endless sea)

By moonless night
You'll wander
Ere long Neptune's rocky shores
The truth alone, misguided
Leaves the fathom deep deplored

Harken here my kin
To the path through fog and ice
Until your deathless chalice
Burns cold in brightest light

[III. YOUNG MAN & THE SEA]
My ship sways
In the Crest of a wave
Her card, her card was the knave

Witches' kiss
The coven mislead me
Low and crestfallen
In the stark-black abyss
Unveiled oceans
Toward the yawning expanse
I shall not falter
Nor shall I remiss
Anything at all

Yeah, I've come a long way
So much more to go
And I'll fall
Below the waves
The Oracle tells me so...

[IV. ASCENSION]
