Ayreon - Abbey Of Synn lyrics
[Ayreon - Abbey Of Synn lyrics]
EDWARD REEKERS:
Once upon a time, as in ancient history
High upon a hill, in a shroud of mystery
Loomed the abbey
As we journeyed through the night
And wended our way towards the light
As we entered through the gates
We heard the silent calls
There was something evil that
Lurked within these walls
As I relive my days in this godforsaken place
All that appears before me now is her face
OKKIE HUYSDENS:
Another man died today like the ones before
(Like the ones before)
With blackened tongue and blackened finger
(Blackened finger)
Within the labyrinth behind the bolted door
(Behind the bolted door)
Lies the answer to our mystery
Robert soeterboek:
Heed the book that kills -
It holds an evil power!
Those who turn the leaves
Wither like a flower!
Well guarded by the seer
Inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within
The abbey of Synn
OKKIE HUYSDENS:
We found the secret path that
Led us here to you (Led us here to you)
Give us the deadly book of laughter
(Deadly book of laughter)
Too many men have died for
A teaching of the few (Teaching of the few)
Open up your heart reveal the mystery
Robert soeterboek:
Heed the book that kills -
It holds an evil power!
Those who turn the leaves
Wither like a flower!
Well guarded by the seer
Inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear within
The abbey of Synn eDWARD REEKERS:
And then she came to me
Like a creature from the dawn
Enchanting as the moon, radiant as the sun
She took the boy in me
And gave me back a man
With a force I could not withstand
The seer burned the abbey down
And perished in the fire
We couldn't save the book the
Flames were rising higher
So many died in vain
For an ancient discipline
Laughter kills the fear within
The abbey of Synn
