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....
