When The Seer Looks Away lyrics

So there you are, you've come at last 
To perform your evil part 
Your nature shows through every mask 
For there's darkness in your heart 
The goddess wears your face 
But you're cast off in disgrace 
You'll use your charm 
And sow the seed of ruin 
When the seer looks away 
And the bard has ceased to play 
Letting all defences down 
When the seer looks away 
Will the night succeed the day 
While you're weaving your web of deceit 
Bearing the son to your brother 
I'll make his kingdom crumble 
I'll cross his every quest 
I'll break him 
Then take him 
He won't escape his fate 
His knights will fail and tumble 
This dream will soon have passed 
No you won't break him... 
When the seer looks away 
You'll never take him... 
When the seer looks away 
I won't forsake him... 
When the seer looks away 
I'll teach you being humble 
I'll put you to the test 
Don't dream 
My dream... 
Your gift to him - a lethal robe 
Was seen through just in time 
We might have known that precious cloak 
Was as poisoned as your mind 
My gift to him - a child of royal blood 
To save the royal line 
Dealing with God's sight 
But often human blind 
I'm sure you've seen it all 
So you know he's bound to fall 
You've cast your spell 
And sowed the seed of ruin 
All because of my doing 
When the seer looks away 
Deafened by the things you say 
Letting all defences down 
When the seer looks away 
So the schemer gets her way 
And the bard has ceased to play 
I'll be paving the road to defeat 
Bearing a son to my brother 
The serpent finds its mother...
