Annatar - Betwixt The Peaks

Deep in a forest
I found a hidden grave,
some souls are forgotten,
souls without a name.

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.
