[Allman, Sloyer, Cadden-James, LaBrie]
|
|
I never saw it coming
|
Somehow the heat of battle
|
Sure dulled my senses to the real world
|
Or was I dreaming?
|
She held my hand and knew me
|
She looked right through all I knew
|
|
Lie quiet, let the rain wash over me now
|
|
Inside the royal chambers
|
She's staring out her window
|
Tears well hidden by a crimson veil
|
This is the poison
|
Clutching a Turkish dagger
|
By the moonlight I feel it begin
|
|
I'm wounded, let the pain wash over me now
|
|
Loneliness again
|
Sits here alongside of me
|
Gotta make my way
|
To where the waters heal my wounds
|
I know this is where I'll stay
|
Too jaded by her deception
|
A trust I thought to believe
|
I just wanna rest
|
And live out the best of my days
|
When I reach Avalon
|
|
Walking to my window
|
I'm feeling weak and so betrayed by all I've lost
|
I'm left here
|
To comprehend this strange barrage of lies
|
|
By the dawn's early light
|
The war had raged through the night
|
I turned to her I thought I heard her crying
|
I could see by her face
|
Before she laid to me waste
|
That there was someone she's dying for
|
Someone else out there besides me
|
|
I'm fading, let the fear drain away from me now
|
|
My fear's been broken
|
As the healing waters poured over me
|
And I begin to feel
|
Feel its magic strengthen me
|
I know this is where I'll stay
|
Can't take anymore deception
|
I just want peace in my heart
|
This calm I am feeling
|
I've never known until
|
Until I reach Avalon
|
|
Lie quiet, let the pain wash away from me now
|
|
No beginning or end
|
All of the roles we pass on through
|
I looked inside and I saw
|
My soul's my guide, I need to walk with you
|
I know this is where I'll stay
|
The world I've left behind
|
Has no place in my heart
|
I can finally rest
|
And live out the rest of my days
|
I'll never leave Avalon
|
