Lyrics The Garden Of Emotions - Ayreon

The Garden Of Emotions

Behold: the Star Towers of the Electric Castle!
See how it embraces the sky!
How insignificant
the mere mortal, dwrfed by the majesty of its electric edifice!
But first,
my seven searchers —
you must meander through the verdant vines of the Garden of Emotions.
Succomb to its allure.
Breathe deep the intoxicating aroma of endless, entwined emotions…
it’s kinda groovy
in this world of fantasy
where no one else can go within these boundaries
I’m shielded from reality
without a care or woe
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
in the garden of emotions
I roam the universe
in cosmic meditation
to find my inner me
I’m getting high on love
and spiritual vibrations
to set bad karma free
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
free my ka, how much longer must I wait?
in the garden of emotions
take up arms and follow
hey, who are you to take the lead?
I will keep you all from harm
so what kind of god do you think you are?
a warrior is what I am no I’m the wolf and you are but a lamb
if you doubt my force you’ll live no more
you will end your war upon my sword
and voices in the sky
shall cause the soul to die
we’ll break away by my command
no we’ll crush our foe and quell this land
you cannot kill what’s already dead
whoever rivals me will lose his head
you’ll endenger all our precious lives
well I don’t care, I will survive
I’m the only one who can set us free
go and chase your ghosts and leave me be and voices in the sky
shall cause the soul to die
fury and fear
it must be feeding on our negative emotions
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
destiny’s near
we’re at the mercy of some vile computerscheme
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
spirits appear
we’ll have to try to hide our antagonistic notions
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
the legend is here
if we ever want to end this future dream
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
fury and fear
we have to free our minds from anger and aggression
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
destiny’s near
it’s the only way to defy this cold machine
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
spirits appear
if we’re to stand up to to this emotional oppression
chivalrous and bold
pitiless and cold
the legend is here
we had better stand together as a team
valiant and true
treacherous and cruel
Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate?
in the garden of emotions
