8. Avalon (5:35)
You feel a draught crawl up the cliff
From a frayed sea of haze
You look down at the waves
As they dance and devour the stones
Pastures in emerald as you're turning around
Swaying leaves in the wind
Hear it whisper your name
And the dreams and the chains and the woe
Been born down too long
In a wheel you must turn
You blink, you breathe, you wake, you feel
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres: A shape!
What a show! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
They say no mortal has ever returned
From the realms in the mist
From across over there
If it's true, will you care in your place?
You - you may find the answer
To denial of return
You may trade in your mind
Lose your senses inside
And the chains
You've tried to make sense in a place you don't understand
You're done, you breathe, you shout, you're free
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres a shape:
Avalon! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
Oh there on the waves
It's only one decision away
Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been
Oh yeah...
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres a shape!
What a show! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres a shape:
Avalon! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
Oh there on the waves
It's only one decision away
Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been
Calling you into the dawn light
From a frayed sea of haze
You look down at the waves
As they dance and devour the stones
Pastures in emerald as you're turning around
Swaying leaves in the wind
Hear it whisper your name
And the dreams and the chains and the woe
Been born down too long
In a wheel you must turn
You blink, you breathe, you wake, you feel
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres: A shape!
What a show! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
They say no mortal has ever returned
From the realms in the mist
From across over there
If it's true, will you care in your place?
You - you may find the answer
To denial of return
You may trade in your mind
Lose your senses inside
And the chains
You've tried to make sense in a place you don't understand
You're done, you breathe, you shout, you're free
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres a shape:
Avalon! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
Oh there on the waves
It's only one decision away
Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been
Oh yeah...
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres a shape!
What a show! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres a shape:
Avalon! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
Oh there on the waves
It's only one decision away
Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been
Calling you into the dawn light
