the castle hall

Singer:ayreon

at last! you enter the electric castle! here in this vast hall where even shadows fear the

light - here you must confront your past. if you have killed

beware of the gathering of spirits

for they do fish for men. here

the disembodied astral world becomes flesh once more. i pity the

men of swords. for here blood runs cold. cries from the grave resound in my ears

they hail from beyond my darkest fears

faces of the past are etched in my brain

the women i raped

the men i've slain

shades of the dead are sliding on the wall

demons dance in the castle hall

i call upon the sword

the mighty excalibur

grant me the skill to fulfill my quest

i call upon my king and the knights of the table round

grant me the courage to stand to this test

i call upon the seer

merlin the sorcerer

grant me the magic to end my pain

i call upon the spirit that lives in a noble heart

grant me the passion that's within my veins

shades of the dead are sliding on the wall

demons dance in the castle hall
