When The Seer Looks Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So there you are, you've come at last
To perform your evil part
Your nature shows through every mask
For there's darkness in your heart
The goddess wears your face
But you're cast off in disgrace
You'll use your charm
And sow the seed of ruin
When the seer looks away
And the bard has ceased to play
Letting all defences down
When the seer looks away
Will the night succeed the day
While you're weaving your web of deceit
Bearing the son to your brother
I'll make his kingdom crumble
I'll cross his every quest
I'll break him
Then take him
He won't escape his fate
His knights will fail and tumble
This dream will soon have passed
No you won't break him...
When the seer looks away
You'll never take him...
When the seer looks away
I won't forsake him...
When the seer looks away
I'll teach you being humble
I'll put you to the test
Don't dream
My dream...
Your gift to him- a lethal robe
Was seen through just in time
We might have known that precious cloak
Was as poisoned as your mind
My gift to him- a child of royal blood
To save the royal line
Dealing with God's sight
But often human blind
I'm sure you've seen it all
So you know he's bound to fall
You've cast your spell
And sowed the seed of ruin
All because of my doing
When the seer looks away
Deafened by the things you say
Letting all defences down
When the seer looks away
So the schemer gets her way
And the bard has ceased to play
I'll be paving the road to defeat
Bearing a son to my brother
The serpent finds its mother....
