Ayreon - The Castle Hall lyrics
[Ayreon - The Castle Hall lyrics]
At last! You enter the Electric Castle!
Here, in this vast hall, where
Even shadows fear the light here
You must confront your past
If you have killed
Beware the Gathering of Spirit's
For they do fish for men here
The disembodied Astral World
Becomes flesh once more i pity
The men of swords for here, blood runs cold
BARBARIAN:
Cries from the grave resound in my ears
They hail from beyond my darkest fears
Faces of the past are etched in my brain
The women I raped, the men I've slain!
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall
KNIGHT:
I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur
Grant me the skill to fulfill my quest!
I call upon my king
The knights of the table round
Grant me the courage to stand to this test!
I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
Grant me the magic to end my pain!
I call upon the spirit that
Lives in the noble heart
Grant the passion that will fill my veins
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall
BARBARIAN:
Cries from the grave resound in my ears
They hail from beyond my darkest fears
KNIGHT: I call upon the seer
Merlin the sorcerer
BARBARIAN: (Faces of the past are etched in my brain)
KNIGHT: Grant me the magic to end my pain!
KNIGHT: I call upon the spirit that
Lives in the noble heart
BARBARIAN: (The women I raped, the men I've slain)
KNIGHT: Grant the passion that
Will fill my veins
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall
