isle of avalon
Singer:iron maiden
i can hear them floating on the wind
immortal souls their weeping saddens me
mother earth you know your time is near
awaken lust the seed is sown and reaped
through the western isle i hear the dead awaken
rising slowing to the court of avalon
the cauldron of the head of annwyn laced with envy
dark around its edge with pearl and destiny
all my days i've waited for the sign
the one that brings me closer to isle of avalon
i can feel the power flowing through my veins
my heart is beating louder
sow the seeds of the born
the fruit of her body laden
you will pray for them all
the image of mother goddess
the sheaf of the corn is broken
throw the dead on the pyre
i hear her crying the tears of an angel
the voices i hear in my head
blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth
mother earth holy blood of the dead
mother earth i can hear you
rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them
keepers of the goddess in the underworld
holding powers of the mystics
guardians of the otherworld
mortal conflict born of celtic legend
mother earth i can feel you
sow the seeds of the born
the fruits of her body laden
you will pray for them all
the image of mother goddess
the sheaf of the corn is broken
throw the dead on the pyre
to have the belief of others
looking for the isle to show them a sign
waiting now for their turn
the island where the souls of the dead are reborn
brought here to die and be transferred into the earth
i hear her crying the tears of an angel
the voices i hear in my head
blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth
mother earth holy blood of the dead
the water in rivers and rhymes rises quickly
are flowing and flooding the land
the sea shall return once again just to hide them
lost souls on the isle of the dead
