Enslaved, lyrics from “Caravans to the Outer Worlds”
Blinded by greed
Trapped by the distance
Thralls to self-idol
Scream in fear of the endGifted view
Rejected channels
Acquired freedom
Endless turning of the wheelEsoteric navigation
Through the astral storms
Odin!The fires of struggle have lost their colors
When corruption took hold
Claiming the seat of the kingmaker
In the ruins of the mad courtOur stories died on their travels
While the fools all said what they thought
Buried under rotten leaves
Too young trees without rootsThe Sense and Earth Tribes
Circle of Shadows CaravansThe warrior turns her back on him
On the vile battle
A better used sword arm
Lifting the sails to the outer worlds
Odin!To the outer worlds
To the outer worlds
To the outer worlds
