Annatar Betwixt The Peaks
Slumber watcher till the spheres
six and twenty thousand years
have revolved and I return
to the spot where now I burn
Other stars anon shall rise
to the axis of the skies
stars that soothe and stars that bless
with a sweet forgetfulness
By the fall of the night
I surrender to it's might
I cry in agony for this lost fight
Slumber watcher till the spheres
six and twenty thousand years
Other stars anon shall rise
to the axis of the skies
stars that soothe and stars that bless
with a sweet forgetfulness
Only when my round is o'er
shall the past disturb thy door
Into the tower, beyond the keep
I am the eye, I will not sleep
Waning red moon in the sky
they told me you were just a lie
Your doomed promise time after time
whispers of evil in this damnable rhyme
I beg you now to let me be
for I cannot trust your mystery
Hypnotic whispers taunt me to sleep
I was the eye of the hidden keep
I will sleep and now I close my eyes
just before Olathoe dies
The army of evil screaming as it seeks
the hidden city betwixt the mountain peaks
cries of agony through the halls
just before Olathoe falls
