The Seer Lyrics

Behold the strake
which bears us on its back
to leave behind
judgements made by men
its prow bears the seal

undone by time
we bear this broken line
on bleeding backs
passions unfulfilled
interred with himself

upon the wind
dour hymns foretold
a pox of ruin
prophets understood
the ways of the snake

its venom pulled
us along its way
to where the sun's
rays can't penetrate
the veil of its tomb

now we see
weathered peaks
distant mountains

what lies beyond
what lives within
only dreamed

I can see through all time,
twisting back on itself.
Lain across fields of ruin,
masters voice rings the call

Round the cairn
it begins
rites of seeing

All now aligned
single sight
truth of wisdom
