Legends tell of a place abandoned A distant island shunned by my race There a once great city lies Haunted by dreams from time yet to pass There something fell to Earth A sphere which came from beyond our skies From it the traveller emerged The knowledge she shared was to be her doom Her statue stands alone as stone Expectantly pointing into the sky Since my specious ancestors Dared to turn her gifts back on her But the legends also say She foretold she would return to life When the planets and stars aligned And her last words were spoken I know the words, the curse Discovered on aeon old tablets Beneath the temple Transcribed to devices Lost to history When the ancients fell Where did they flee my forebears? What did her curse do to those who remained - they are gone Now I speak the words and free her Will she give me her grace? I speak the words She wakes Speak to me Speak unto me I have come here for I must know The enigma given to our ancients The races who knew the secret To the entrance The passage to other worlds The gate between the stars Pour into my ears the secret Whisper to me the key She speaks The knowledge flows into me Yet her gaze pours molten lead into my soul Fixed solid, I cannot flee She departs Becoming a fading light flying up into the black of night I realise my fate Rooted to this spot I'll remain
