TO ENTERTAIN THE COURT, AYREON MAKES UP A SONG ABOUT THE BRAVE KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE AND THEIR JOURNEY TO THE ISLE OF AVALON IN SEARCH OF THE HOLY GRAIL.
[AYREON:] noble men in shining armour knights of the table-round go out and ride like thunder cross the sky at the speed of
sound the horn, ′n blow the trumpets upon the castle wall now the quest has started listen to the prophet′s call
sail away sail away to Avalon the journey has begun sail away through the night sail away, never die the gods are at your side sail away through the night
ride on the road to glory find the holy grail and learn the ancient story ′s more than just a fairy-
tale about the key to life and all its mysteries you′ll find the grail within you slay the dragon in your dreams
There′s a hundred love boats All around me And they all make the waves too high There′s a heavy burden On my shoulders And it slowly pulls me down
I just have no one to sail with me I just have no one to sail with me
Would you sail away with me Could you leave it all behind and float away And to lie beside me When the sun goes down Would you take me as I am I would hold you all the way I′d understand We will break the strongest waves to see the land
There′s some in the water Close to drowning And I′m always a stroke behind The taken sailors Don′t realize How they′d need to respect their wives
I just have no one to sail with me I just have no one ...
Would you sail away with me Could you leave it all behind and float away And to lie beside me When the sun goes down Would you take me as I am I would hold you all the way I′d understand We will break the strongest waves to see the land
Would you sail away with me Could you leave it all behind and float away And to lie beside me When the sun goes down Would you take me as I am I would hold you all the way I′d understand We will break the strongest waves to see the land
The wind is calm The ocean sleeps We must leave now The sky is dark Others are gone We must leave now
The wind is calm The ocean sleeps We must leave now The sky is dark Others are gone We must leave now
Would you sail away with me Could you leave it all behind and float away And to lie beside me When the sun goes down Would you take me as I am I would hold you all the way I′d understand We will break the strongest waves to see the land
Would you sail away with me Could you leave it all behind and float away And to lie beside me When the sun goes down Would you take me as I am I would hold you all the way I′d understand We will break the strongest waves to see the land
Once upon a time we had a lot to fight for We had a dream, we had a plan Sparlks in the air, we spread a lot of envy Didnt have to care once upon a time
Remember when I swore That love was never ending And you and I would never die Remember when I swore We had it all We had it all
Sail away, it′s time to leave Rainy days, are yours to keep Fade away, the night is calling my name You will stay, i′ll sail away
Once upon a time we used to burn candles We had a place to call a home We dream that we lived Was better than divine Every day was like a gift Once upon a life
Remember when you swore Your love is never ending And you and I would never die Remember when you swore We had it all We′ve made it far
Sail away, it′s time to leave Rainy days are yours to keep Fade away, the night is calling my name You will stay, I′ll sail away
No reason to lie No need to pretend How greatfull to die To live once again Im fearless to fly And reach for the end And reach for the end ohhohhhohhhohhh...
Sail away
Sail away, it′s time to leave Rainy days are yours to keep Fade away, the night is calling my name You will stay, I′ll sail away
