The Fall of the Seer Lyrics

Mind and body are ravaged now, bereft of second sight
Power once great has faded now, an omen in the night

To live by the blade is to die by the blade, don't you see?
Trapped in this prison of madness, he cannot break free

The fall of the seer
He knows that his time is near

On the day he was born he was cursed with the power to see
Unspeakable evil in visions of what was to be

Black banners on the horizon, the march was unforeseen
Surrounded and desperate, great power sequestered
The voices have now become screams

To live by the blade is to die by the blade, don't you see?
Trapped in this prison of madness, he cannot break free

The fall of the seer...

The last grains of sand fall within the hourglass
As it's cast upon the stone
Clutching a cruel shard of the shattered glass
The seer takes his own life

Driven insane by the curse of second sight
Tortured memories of his unforgiven life

On the day he was born he was cursed with the power to see
Unspeakable evil in visions of what was to be

To live by the blade is to die by the blade, don't you see?
Trapped in this prison of madness, he cannot break free
