In the Tombs of Atuan
Embracing Shadows: Priestess of the Nameless Ones in the Tombs of Atuan
Lyrics
Her fate has been sealed
Her destiny is predetermined and unchangeable.
Since the day she was born
Her fate has been decided since the day of her birth.
Taken away all too young
She was taken away at a young age.
Raised to protect a religion of old
She was raised to protect an ancient religious belief.
Taught to believe she's the one
She was taught to believe that she is the chosen one.
Serve the Nameless Ones
She is meant to serve the Nameless Ones, possibly deities without specific names.
In the tombs of the night
Her service takes place in the tombs during the night.
Priestess is reborn
She experiences a spiritual rebirth as a priestess.
Forever alone
She is destined to be forever alone.
Exploring the Place
She explores a specific place.
And the secrets it holds
She discovers and unravels the secrets hidden in that place.
Only by sense of her touch
Her understanding is guided by her sense of touch.
Never again she'll believe in their lies
She no longer believes in the lies told to her.
When the light opens her eyes
When exposed to light, her perception changes.
Serve the Nameless Ones
Continues to serve the Nameless Ones in the tombs during the night.
In the tombs of the night
Reiterates her service as a priestess in the tombs.
Priestess is reborn
Reborn but destined to be forever alone in the dark.
Forever alone in the dark
Reiteration of her eternal solitude in darkness.
Forever alone
Emphasizes her enduring loneliness.
Serve the Nameless Ones
Continued commitment to serving the Nameless Ones in the tombs.
In the tombs of the night
Reiterates her service and rebirth as a priestess in the tombs.
Priestess is reborn
Her perpetual aloneness is reaffirmed.
Forever alone
Emphasizes her enduring solitude in darkness.
Serve the Nameless Ones
Continued dedication to serving the Nameless Ones in the tombs.
In the tombs of the night
Reiterates her role and rebirth as a priestess in the tombs.
Priestess is reborn
She is destined to be forever in the dark.
Forever in the dark
Reaffirms her eternal existence in darkness.
