Under The Ice Lyrics

I seem to agree with toastybiggins. Seems to me that the song is about the meeting between Cassandra and Apollo in which she denies his love. In return, Apollo casts the curse upon her so she cannot affect the outcome of the war with her gift of prophesy:

"We're not allowed to see beyond that's your skill Will we ever learn the lesson "We can't fly with broken wings"

Break the chains Time to change I'm afraid to say but you won't play a part"
