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
