Space Heroes and Other Fools

Aislinn the Bard

Chosenn 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.

CHORUS
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 season's coming 'round again
The Summer Star's rising high
When the Black Gate's closed
We'll be alone again
And the time for change is right.
The sea must sing her songs again
In a voice quicksilver bright
And those who understand her words
Will rule in endless light.

CHORUS

The immortals who lived at life's great cost
Must die with winter's cold
And the Summer folk must rule again
As in the time of old.
And winter's price will be paid by those
Who lived for lust and lies.
For the ancient knowledge cannot be lost
Lest the seeds of chaos rise.

CHORUS

Daughter of no woman
Child of no man
A Summer made, not born
I am a pawn in Destiny's hand
By a saddened universe torn.
They've asked me the question
I may not answer
My beginning I may not share.
But black Fate knows
And her ancient master
Demands I return there.

CHORUS

Across seven worlds
The black sands of time
Roll endless as the sea
Though torn from home by a twist of Fate
I must return to see.
Winter dead and Spring begun
And Summer's power received
Yes I must return to my home again
To set my people free.

CHORUS
