Annatar

Betwixt The Peaks

Annatar


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
