"Owls Predict, Oracles Stand Guard" lyrics - SOILWORK

Dark eyes stare you down
Trust the wise as they spread their wings
The surface fading, all structures collapse
As my blood turns pitch black

Three choices:
Escape,
Stand guard,
Or give in
Three choices:
Escape,
Stand guard,
Or give in

I could feel it, the presence of an entity
A calling, a cry for help
Burning insects to get through the mist

Three choices:
Escape,
Stand guard,
Or give in
Three choices:
Escape,
Stand guard,
Or give in

Robbed by faith, no longer my fault
My travel ends With a smile on my face
Forgiven by no one, predicted to fail
As the oracles stand guard

The battles you choose may conquer all that is pure
[Stand tall in the tide] As it drowns your last chance to prevail
All I have is the wisdom, the wisdom of fools, given to me by the eyes of a ghost

The roar of thunder sets the oracle free
Awakening the ones fallen from grace
