[Verse] Above the restless clouds of afternoon Athena lifts a sky-born world in view The oracle has come and gone To pour his molten words in her ear [Chorus] Athena weighs whose fates will rise and whose will falter I feel her distant eyes on us She draws the lines of who finds love and who finds shelter I feel her distant eyes on us [Verse 2] I see her every time I close my eyes Her shining shield of justice, Truth, And light Another cup of nectar cut with brine I know that she will come in due time [Chorus] Athena walks the threads that bind and break our story I feel her distant eyes on us She tips the scales of quiet loss and fleeting glory I feel her distant eyes on us [Bridge] She whispers to the kings and to the broken-hearted I feel her distant eyes on us She hides in every scheme, in every battle started I feel her distant eyes on us She waits beyond the storm, where every doubt must falter I feel her distant eyes on us She holds the final word, the one we cannot alter I feel her distant eyes on us [Outro] In every mirrored blade her sky-born omens glimmer I feel her distant eyes on us In every fallen drop her astral futures shimmer I feel her distant eyes on us
