CANTANTE: Ayreon

TITULO:Isis And Osiris

1a let the journey begin
Highlander:
what heathen place is this that i've arrived in.
is now the time i pay for all my sins.
i can't believe that this is god's creation.
this realm was fashioned by the deil's ane hand
Indian (chorus):
no it has been foretold.
in your legends of old.
wake the spirit within.
let the journey begin.
Highlander:
this quest you speak is for redemption.
how can we travel when our souls are lost.
you think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation.
when i an only sense the end is here
Indian (chorus)
Knight:
we're at the gates of avalon.
the island of spirits.
we're at the gates of avalon.
in search of the grail.
1b the hall of isis and osiris
Roman:
there is no way out, slaves for eternity.
down in the underworld, the jaws of orcus.
i call on jupiter, the ruler of the gods.
show us the way, from damnation to salvation.
Egyptian (chorus):
the fielda of yaaruh lie witing for us all.
rejoice! the judges have ruled.
we have been chosen to enter the great hall.
of isis and osiris.
Roman:
no you're wrong, we're trapped here in darkness.
along departed souls, and mislaid spirits.
i call on mars, the ancient god of war.
grant me the power, to free me fromt his evil
Egyptian (chorus)
1c strange constellations
Highlander:
can you see the stars?
can you recognize the constellations?
if i could only see the hills that we're supposed to climb.
even the sunlight.....doesn't warm.....doesn't warm.
how are we gonna find our way?
if we cann't recognize the stars, if we cann't recognize the constellations.
wheer do we go?
1d reprise
Highlander:
the quest you speak of, it isn't bound for glory.
no grail exists within this heathen land.
when i can only sense.....the end is near.
