Through the caverns of darkness I wander and wade
Pools of time, behind me, the light begins to fade
I'll find my way, guided by the hand of Mother Hetchel
And out of the mountain I find something special

Do I have the draft
Can I one day split this world in half

Unwinding staircase
Show me to the way
To repair time and space
Bring them back again some day

Unwinding staircase
Become straight and true
And leave not a trace
Of the distorted truth

With the distaff of Elder Atropos, I was born of the gray thread
Cygna succumbed to transcendence, I was told she was dead
I follow the signs and swan who visits me once every year
Only now to learn the truth that I never wanted to hear

My mother was the swan
Who guides me now far beyond

Unwinding staircase
Show me to the way
To repair time and space
Bring them back again some day

Unwinding staircase
Become straight and true
And leave not a trace
Of the distorted truth

I brought lightning from the rent fabric of time
Unleashing Chaos in this fragile world of mine
Oh, the shepherds and the blacksmiths tell me
What the glassmakers' scrying sphere can't see

Take me from the dragon's home
Winding staircase made from stone

Become the unwinding staircase
Show me to the way
To repair time and space
Bring them back again some day

Unwinding staircase
Become straight and true
And leave not a trace
Of the distorted truth
