Текст песни Isis and Osiris (Live) - Ayreon

The mortals are here!
Rejoice in their sight, each from a different time and place
The Egyptian, the Indian, the Highlander, the Roman, and the knight
They cry out to their gods, bewildered and confused
But on this quest they're about to take
I'm the god who makes the rules!
Bask in their fears, revel in their sins, let the journey begin!

What hidden place is this that I've arrived in?
Is now the time I plead for all my sins
I can't believe that this is God's creation
This realm was fashioned by the deities at hand

Now it has been foretold in our legends of old
Wake the spirit within, let the journey begin

This quest just begun is for redemption
How can we travel when our souls are lost?
You'd think we'd find ourselves at gates of new salvation
When I can only sense the end is here

Now it has been foretold in our legends of old
Wake the spirit within, let the journey begin

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

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

But there's a light waiting for us all
Rejoice, the church has come
We have been chosen to enter the great hall
Of Isis and Osiris

No, you're wrong, we're trapped here in darkness
Among departed souls and enslaved spirits
I call on Mars, the ancient god of war
Grab evil power from afar

The gates of Avalon
The island of spirits
The gates of Avalon
In search of the grail
We have been chosen to enter the great hall
Of Isis and Osiris

Can you see the stars?
Can you recognise the constellations?
If I can 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 recognise the stars
If we can't recognise the constellations
Where do we go?

The quest just begun, 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 here
