The Circles of Tenebra
Forever Slave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could steal your soul
Desappeared your soul
They will give your life to the Oracle
In the south of the Shades
Is the ancient city of Tenebra
Keep a secret
The circles of Tenebra
There was a prophecy...
Guardians of earth and fire
Give me your wisdom
So I can complete my destiny
There was a prophecy...
Guardians of water and air
Give me your wisdom
So I can complete my destiny
Daughter of death and life,
This is the city of Tenebra.
Mystic circles are guardians
They know your secrets
The circles of Tenebra
Guardians of the elements
You need their mercy
Your life is schizophrenia
And your mind is slave
The elements will bring your life
The lyrics to Forever Slave's song "The Circles of Tenebra" describe a mystical and mysterious city called Tenebra that is guarded by warrior monks and mystical circles.
