Ayreon Lyrics

Album: Into The Electric Castle

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...
