Anne Harlan Prather - Sybil's Song lyrics

Chosen by the Lady for the Lady's work Across cold seas I sail To a city as ancient as this world's birth Whose destiny must prevail. Oh ask me a question I'll tell you the answer Ask me to speak And I'll tell no lies Servant of infinity Truth is my master Knowledge a mistress I may not deny. The season's coming 'round again The Summer Star rises high The Black Gate's closed We're alone again And the time for change is right. The sea must sing her song again In a voice quicksilver bright And those who understand her words Will rule in endless might. Oh ask me a question And I'll give you the answer Ask me to speak And I'll tell no lies Servant of infinity Truth is my master Knowledge a mistress I may not deny. The immortals who lived at life's great cost Must die with winter's cold And Summer's life must rule again As in the times of old. And winter's price will be paid by those Who k**ed for lust and lies. For the ancient knowledge cannot be lost Lest the seeds of chaos rise. Oh ask me a question I'll give you the answer Ask me to speak And I'll tell no lies Servant of infinity Truth is my master Knowledge a mistress I may not deny. Daughter of no woman Child of no man A Summer raised, not born I am a pawn in Destiny's hand By a saddened universe torn. They've asked me the question And I may not answer My beginnings I may not share. Still black Fate knows And her ancient master Demands I return there. Oh ask me a question I'll give you the answer Ask me to speak And I'll tell no lies Servant of infinity Truth is my master Knowledge a mistress I may not deny. Across seven worlds The black sands of time Roll endless as the sea Though driven from home by a twist of Fate I must return to see. Winter dead and Spring begun. Summer's power received. Yes I must return to my home again To set my people free. Oh ask me a question I'll give you the answer Ask me to speak And I'll tell no lies Servant of infinity Truth is my master Knowledge a mistress I may not deny.
