Ravens roosting in the tree
All the world was deep and silent
And whispers dancing on the breeze
Up the stair to Kethry’s workroom
Kero made the dark ascent
Fearing through the mist and magic
Wonder where her courage went
Draw the circle between two worlds
Celestial fire to cleanse the girl
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bare her soul away
The moon is every woman’s friend
To her your goodness condescend
And let this night and vision
See the emblems of our destiny
There’s a bowl upon the table
There’s a fire in the bowl
From the fire a voice is calling
Prophesying new and old
Suit of armor in the corner
Never meant for human head
East a demon dead and glaring
Curses better left unsaid
Draw the circle between two worlds
Celestial fire to cleanse the girl
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bare her soul away
The moon is every woman’s friend
To her your goodness condescend
And let this night and vision
See the emblems of our destiny
Up the stair in Kethry’s workroom
Behind a door shut good and tight
Magic and the mist full mingle
In the silence of the night
If you need a magic potion
Or a sword to split the air
Make your way to Kethry’s workroom
Can you find the hidden stair?
Draw the circle between two worlds
Celestial fire to cleanse the girl
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bare her soul away
The moon is every woman’s friend
To her your goodness condescend
And let this night and vision
See the emblems of our destiny
Draw the circle between two worlds
Celestial fire to cleanse the girl
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bare her soul away
The moon is every woman’s friend
To her your goodness condescend
And let this night and vision
See the emblems of our destiny
Analysis:
What can I say? I guess I can say that it's really a emblem of it's own genre. It's something that would have that "mist and magic in the air" kind of feeling. I mean, the first two lines of the second verse: "Draw the circle between two worlds" and "Celestial fire to cleanse the girl". Not many songs have this feel to it. Time for a deeper look, shall we?
Snow is lying on the meadow
Ravens roosting in the tree
All the world was deep and silent
And whispers dancing on the breeze
Up the stair to Kethry’s workroom
Kero made the dark ascent
Fearing through the mist and magic
Wonder where her courage went
This scenery in the first three lines of this verse is really peaceful and something that I would have been surrounded when I needed a quiet time to myself. Seeing the birds resting themselves shows that it's not right to go out flying at that point in time. Then it switches to a place where courage can be lost in the fog of the magic of the workroom of the greatest sorcerer, Kethry. Honestly, if I was in Kero's shoes, I would be scared too.

What do I say about the first three lines? The first line is unable to have a description but the celestial fire is like holy water in this situation because, think about it, holy water now days cleanses the soul of sins and in my mind, the fire is basically the same thing. Back then, the moon WAS every woman's friend due to the plain fact that the moon was an unjudging part of their lives. Then they also believed that certain things could actually foreshadow parts of their past like the last two lines: "And let this night and vision" "See the emblems of our destiny"

This verse basically has this "Prophesy" kind of feel to it. It's like the lines mentioning the fire in the first four lines, it shows how mystical this could be and very few people could control that power. The armor in the corner I believe was for decoration because it said "suit of armor in the corner" "Never meant for human head". And the last two lines are basically relating to a horrible demon to the east somewhere casting curses that are not made for human ears.

In the silence of the night

Can you find the hidden stair?
In a hidden area of the stairwell, there are the stairs to Kethry's workroom where potions or enchanted weapons, it's only a matter of time until you give up trying to find the hidden stair to his workroom.
This song is one of the most mystical songs that I've ever heard along with the few following songs. I know this selection is liked and desired. Keep on reading peeps. :D
Until next time,
