lyrics

In a hall by the stormy Northern coast, the Soothsayer visits Krown.

Narrator:
“As night fell on the coast, Krown prayed in his candle-lit rooms, awaiting the summoned Soothsayer.”

Soothsayer:
“Your excellency, you wanted to see me?”

Krown:
“Soothsayer, yes, come in. It’s about your prescient sermons of the future… aren’t you repeating yourself lately? The brethren have begun to notice.”

Soothsayer:
“I must admit, new visions have become scarce. I have prayed to the gods, but…”

Krown:
“Nonetheless, you still see my final fate clearly?”

Soothsayer:
“Yes, your excellency, you WILL be king of this world. I will be at your side. It will happen, I foresee it.”

Krown:
“Perhaps this means destiny has arrived. The future is ours and the time is now. Your machine, is it ready?”

Soothsayer:
“Two days at most. I will see to it, my lord.”

The Soothsayer attends to the ‘machine’ in his workshop, with his assistants.

Soothsayer sings:
It came to me in a dream,
An idea revealed by the gods through me.
How to build a machine that could set us free.
A key, unlocking my ability,
By hand, piece by piece, god-given knowledge of assembly,
the skill to carry out their decree.
I am the weapon of the deities.
A bomb in the heart of the old regime.
The future of the world is a fate foreseen.

Soothsayer speaks:
“OK men, that’s enough for now, let’s carry on in the morning. Rest your eyes, there can be no mistakes.”

Assistants:
“As you wish Sir.”

Narrator speaks:
“The Soothsayer retired to his quarters and fell to sleep. As always, he dreamed the same haunting dream, recurring endlessly, somewhere in his mind.”
