[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 Deil's ane hand
|
|
[indian (chorus)]
|
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 (chorus)]
|
|
[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, the ruler of the gods
|
show us the way, from damnation to salvation
|
|
[egyptian (chorus)]
|
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 (chorus)]
|
|
[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.....it doesn't
|
warm.....doesn't wam
|
how are we gonna find our way?
|
if we can't recognize the stars, if 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
|
