Ayreon Lyrics
"The Garden Of Emotions"

Behold! The star towers of the Electric Castle! See how it
embraces the sky! How insignificant the mere mortal,
drawfed 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...

HIPPIE:
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

EGYPTIAN WOMAN:
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

HIPPIE:
I roam the universe
In cosmic meditation
To find my inner me
I'm getting high on love
Spiritual vibrations
To set bad karma free

EGYPTIAN WOMAN:
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

ROMAN WARRIOR: Take up arms and follow me!

NATIVE AMERICAN GIRL:
And voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die!
And voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die!

BARBARIAN: No, we'll crush our foe and quell this land!
ROMAN WARRIOR: You cannot kill what's already dead!

ROMAN WARRIOR: You'll endanger all our precious lives!
BARBARIAN: Well, I don't care, I will survive!
ROMAN WARRIOR: I'm the only one who can set us free!
BARBARIAN: Go chase your ghost and leave me be!

NATIVE AMERICAN GIRL:
And voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die!
And voices in the sky
Shall cause the soul to die!
