And The Druids Turn To Stone Lyrics - Universal Migrator, Pts.1 & 2 - Ayreon

"It is 2800 B.C. I quietly witness the astounding secret behind the creation of a 

mysterious monument in Wiltshire, England." 

[Damian Wilson] 

The moon sheds no light on Salisbury plain 

The day turns to night and the bonfires cease burning 

The druids gather round and the chants fill the air 

Their echoes resound and the living world stops turning 

The magic words are spoken 

As we leave the plain in silence 

Now the circle stands alone 

And the druids turn to stone 

The dawn shines its light on Salisbury plain 

The day floods the night with gilded rays of sunshine 

The magic words were spoken 

As we left the plain in silence 

Then the circle stood alone 

And the druids turned to stone 

The rising sun is dancing on the edges of the stones 

Casting shadows, creeping down the Avenue 

Into the heart of the sarsen trilithons 

I marvel at this mystery, beholder of the stars 

A holy temple, a sacred burial ground 

Guarding well its secrets from us all
