Ayreon - The Garden of Emotions (Live) lyrics

The Hippie and the Roman had it right
They dried their tears they
Conquered their fears
I can't say the same for the Knight
Look behind you, the bridge is gone
Fate now beckons you on
To the Garden of emotions
But beware the voices in the sky
Flowers can prick and cause are known to die

It's kinda groovy in this world of fantasy
Where no one else can go

Within these boundaries
I'm shielded from reality
Without a care or woe

Amon ra, have you come to seal my fate?
In the garden of emotions
Free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
In the garden of emotions

I roam the universe in cosmic meditation
To find my inner me i'm getting high on love
And spiritual vibrations
To set bad karma free

Amon ra, have you come to seal my fate?
In the garden of emotions
Free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
In the garden of emotions

Take up arms and follow me

Hey, who are you to take the lead?

I will keep you all from harm

So what kind of god do you think you are?

A warrior is what I am

No I'm the wolf and you are but a lamb

If you doubt my force you'll live no more

You will end your war upon my sword

"and voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die"

"and voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die"

We'll break away by my command

No we'll crush our foe and quell this land

You cannot kill what's already dead

Whoever rivals me will lose his head

You'll endanger all our precious lives

Well I don't care, I will survive

I'm the only one who can set us free

Go and chase your ghosts and leave me be

"and voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die"

"and voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die"

Fury and fear

It must be feeding on our negative emotions

Destiny's near

We're at the mercy of
Some vile computer scheme

Spirit's appear

We'll have to try to
Hide our antagonistic notions

The legend is here

If we ever want to end this future dream

Fury and fear

We have to free our minds
From anger and aggression

Destiny's near

It's the only way to defy this cold machine

Spirit's appear

If we're to stand up to
To this emotional oppression

The legend is here

We had better stand together as a team

Amon ra, have you come to seal my fate?
In the garden of emotions
