Ayreon, Floor Jansen, Hansi Kürsch, Anneke Van Giersbergen, Marco Hietala - The Eye of Ra (2017) lyrics

(A gateway to the Stars)

(Archeologist:) i have finally found the key
To chart a course to the
Other side of the galaxy
I need to find the seventh sign
Carved into the cover
Stones of an ancient time
And Ra will live forever
He draws his powers from afar
And built a gateway to the stars
(B the Eye of Ra)

(Marine:) unaware of our coming fate
We disappear through the ancient gate
We arrive in a desert land
And set up camp on thе burning sand
Behold, a thousand slaves
Mining ores in thе planet's caves
They give us shelter from the storm
Then Ra appears in a human form

(Native girl:) ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us

(Marine:) a tall ship descends from the sky
Lasers flare and many men die
A bloody battle has begun
We must destroy this 'king of the sun'

(Native girl:) ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
Ooh, an alien race
The Eye of Ra is watching over us

(C the Seventh Sign)

(All:) we have found the seventh sign
Down in the catacombs
When the seven points align
They will lead us all back home

(Storyteller: Dan, Archeologist: Damian)
(Marine: Russell, Native girl: Floor)
(All: Damian, Floor, Robert, Russell & Dan)
