lyrics

ORACLE

When we set foot, upon this path, to find new lands.
We never dreamed, of what we might find, or what magic it had.
My eyes have seen, so many days, and so many moonlit nights.
The road has been long, and brutal indeed. But we have carried on.

*Gone, are the days, of our simple lives.
(We yearn for something more)
Home, left behind. Mundane and droll.
(We yearn…)

Guided by stars, and our own senses, a divine intuition.
I question not, what direction we are pulled.
Mountains of death, caves of doom, the way ever longer.
A perilous road, one paved with blood. But we must press forth.

**A voice is calling me.
(calling me to their home)
A ghostly hand in mine.
(guiding me)
It promises all I dream.
(Can it be trusted?)
I must find this Oracle.
(keeper of secrets)

Now we find, a new purpose. Our destiny.
This being has power, one it must share, or we will take it away.
I care not, what it wants, or why it has chosen me.
I felt its strength, its wisdom, and I will set it free.

Keeper of secrets.
What prophecies do you wish to share?

We must become one.

We seek the Oracle.
Our destiny.
We seek the Oracle.
What future will be?
We seek the Oracle.
The truth beyond what we see.
We seek the Oracle.
Your power in me.

We must become one.

Fulfill the prophecy.
