The Wise Man's Fear - The Tree of Life

Pull me in
I’ve seen the sights that stirred the old men to greatness
The water it moves with mirth and trembles in distress
A voice tells of something that has stood the test of time
An enchanting unwinding
The meeting mark of new memory
And the things that have always stood there

Keeper of keys that’s resting deep
Beneath the mountainside

It is from here that if you still your mind
You can catch a glimpse
Of the fragments fallen from cornerstones of the world

And if you listen closely you'll hear a story that's old as time

Keeper of keys that’s resting deep,
Beneath the mountainside
Watching the well and time will tell
If this is your demise

A holy man once said to me
That the light dies in the depths of the ground
And if you stand there and keep your eyes closed
You can see the darkness as it come to life
