Old Wives’ Tale Songtext
von Wondelone

To discover the depths of oceans
Fathomless
To explore the possibilities
Limitless
To escape the loomings of your soul
So endless
Is to accept the call to voyage
The final frontier

Can′t you see the story's not an allegory?
That not everything can be explained away
That there′s mystery in our history
And magic in our faith

To drink from a fountain fed by the Holy Land
To climb a mountain with a ship held in its hand
To discover a passageway known to no man
Is to find the awe born of an uncharted plan


Can't you see the story's not an allegory?
That not everything can be explained away
That there′s mystery in our history
And magic in our faith

And if you never find what you′ve been searching for
It doesn't mean that you′ve doubtlessly shown
That you checked behind every door
And turned over every stone

Yet bitter water seeps into my drink
Hardened by guilt I start to think
Not I, not this infernal fiend
But my foot finds rock as I start to sink

With the assurance of things not seen
Hope springs eternal in me
Since I, the eternal spring received
Saw the unseeable and believed

Can't you see the story′s not an allegory?
And not everything can be explained away
That there's mystery in our history
And victory in our faith


And if you never find what you′ve been searching for
It doesn't mean that you've doubtlessly shown
That you checked behind every door
And turned over every stone
