AFFLICTED - The Oracle lyrics

rate me

Deep into the mountains of the north<br />

I ride on this pilgrimage of mine<br />

No, I've never travelled here before<br />

At the journey's end I hope to find<br />

<br />

Old man with eyes of blind<br />

Gaze into your star pond<br />

Stars on stars and one am I<br />

Trajecting open sky<br />

<br />

Yeah, yeah, oracle of old<br />

I want my fate foretold<br />

<br />

Leaves of autumn on my path<br />

The nights are growing cold<br />

I keep the wolves away with fire<br />

Not far till I reach eternal snow<br />

<br />

Somewhere here there should be<br />

A secret marble bridge<br />

Across the deepest rift<br />

Onto a narrow ridge<br />

<br />

Yeah, yeah, oracle of old<br />

I want my fate foretold<br />

<br />

Finally I've found this cave<br />

And there the hermit sits on rugs<br />

I pay the price he asks in gold<br />

Now gaze into your star pond, man<br />

<br />

"Your soul is damned, you soon shall die"<br />

No, this is wrong, must be a lie<br />

Oracle of false, you'll pay for this<br />

Now taste the sweetness of my blades's kiss<br />

<br />

The star pond now erupts<br />

As the oracle lies dead<br />

The old man was surely right<br />

And so the shock wave cracks my head<br />

<br />

Yeah, Yeah, oracle of old<br />

Now dead be we, as we foretold
