Ayreon – Isis And Osiris lyrics
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 ewn hand
NATIVE AMERICAN GIRL:
No, it has been foretold in our legends of old
Wake the spirit within, let the journey begin!
HIGHLANDER:
This quest you speak of, is for redemption
How can we travel when our souls are lost?
You think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation
When I can only sense the end is here!
NATIVE AMERICAN GIRL:
No, it has been foretold in our legends of old
Wake the spirit within, let the journey begin!
KNIGHT:
We're at the gates of Avalon!
The island of spirits
We're at the gates of Avalon!
In search of the grail!
ROMAN WARRIOR:
There's no way out, slaves for eternity!
Down in the underworld, the jaws of Orcus
I call on Jupiter, ruler of the gods
Show us the way, from damnation to salvation!
EGYPTIAN WOMAN:
The fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all!
Rejoice! The judges have ruled!
We have been chosen to enter the great hall
Of Isis and Osiris!
ROMAN WARRIOR:
No, you're wrong! We're trapped here in darkness
Among departed souls, and mislaid spirits
I call on Mars, the ancient god of war
Grant me the power, to free me from this evil!
EGYPTIAN WOMAN:
The fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all!
Rejoice!
We have been chosen to enter the great hall
Of Isis and Osirii-his!
Hooo-hooo! Hooo-hooo! Hooo-hooo! Hooooo...
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 can't recognize the stars, and we can't recognize the constellations...
Where do we go?
EGYPTIAN WOMAN:
Hooo-hooo! Hooo-hooo! Hooo-hooo! Hooooo...
HIGHLANDER:
The quest you speak of - it isn't bound for glory.
No grail exists within this heathen land.
You think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation
When I can only sense - the end is near...
