Ayreon - Isis and Osiris lyrics
[Ayreon - Isis and Osiris lyrics]
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
No, it has been foretold in
Our legends of old wake the spirit within
Let the journey begin!
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!
No, it has been foretold in
Our legends of old wake the spirit within
Let the journey begin!
We're at the gates of Avalon!
The island of spirit's
We're at the gates of Avalon!
In search of the grail!
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!
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!
No, you're wrong! We're trapped
Here in darkness
Among departed souls, and mislaid spirit's
I call on Mars, the ancient god of war
Grant me the power
To free me from this evil!
The fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all!
Rejoice!
We have been chosen to enter the great hall
Of Isis and Osiris!
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?
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
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
No, it has been foretold in
Our legends of old wake the spirit within
Let the journey begin!
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!
No, it has been foretold in
Our legends of old wake the spirit within
Let the journey begin!
We're at the gates of Avalon!
The island of spirit's
We're at the gates of Avalon!
In search of the grail!
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!
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!
No, you're wrong! We're trapped
Here in darkness
Among departed souls, and mislaid spirit's
I call on Mars, the ancient god of war

To free me from this evil!
The fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all!
