Ayreon: Isis And Osiris

''(A. Let The Journey Begin)''

HIGHLANDER:
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 Devil's one hand

INDIAN:
No, it has been foretold in our legends of old
Wake the spirit within, let the journey begin!

HIGHLANDER:
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!

INDIAN:
No, it has been foretold in our legends of old
Wake the spirit within, let the journey begin!

KNIGHT:
We're at the gates of Avalon!
The island of spirits
We're at the gates of Avalon!
In search of the grail!

''(B. The Hall Of Isis And Osiris)''

ROMAN:
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!

EGYPTIAN:
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!

ROMAN:
No, you're wrong! We're trapped here in darkness
Among departed souls, and mislaid spirits
I call on Mars, the ancient god of war
Grant me the power, to free me from this evil!

EGYPTIAN:
The fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all!
Rejoice!
We have been chosen to enter the great hall
Of Isis and Osiris!

''(C. Strange Constellations)''

HIGHLANDER:
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?

''(D. Reprise)''

HIGHLANDER:
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...
