The Garden Of Emotions Lyrics - Ayreon

Behold: the Star Towers of the Electric Castle! See how it embraces the sky! How insignificant 

the mere mortal, dwrfed 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... 

[A. IN THE GARDEN OF 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] 

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 

and spiritual vibrations 

to set bad karma free 

[egyptian] 

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 

[B. VOICES IN THE SKY] 

[roman] 

take up arms and follow 

[barbarian] 

hey, who are you to take the lead? 

[roman] 

I will keep you all from harm 

[barbarian] 

so what kind of god do you think you are? 

[roman] 

a warrior is what I am 

[barbarian] 

no I'm the wolf and you are but a lamb 

[roman] 

if you doubt my force you'll live no more 

[barbarian] 

you will end your war upon my sword 

[indian] 

"and voices in the sky 

shall cause the soul to die" 

[roman] 

we'll break away by my command 

[barbarian] 

no we'll crush our foe and quell this land 

[roman] 

you cannot kill what's already dead 

[barbarian] 

whoever rivals me will lose his head 

[roman] 

you'll endenger all our precious lives 

[barbarian] 

well I don't care, I will survive 

[roman] 

I'm the only one who can set us free 

[barbarian] 

go and chase your ghosts and leave me be 

[indian] 

"and voices in the sky 

shall cause the soul to die" 

[C. THE AGGRESSION FACTOR] 

[indian] 

fury and fear 

[futureman] 

it must be feeding on our negative emotions 

[knight] 

chivalrous and bold 

pitiless and cold 

[indian] 

destiny's near 

[futureman] 

we're at the mercy of some vile computerscheme 

[knight] 

valiant and true 

treacherous and cruel 

[indian] 

spirits appear 

[futureman] 

we'll have to try to hide our antagonistic notions 

[knight] 

chivalrous and bold 

pitiless and cold 

[indian] 

the legend is here 

[futureman] 

if we ever want to end this future dream 

[knight] 

valiant and true 

treacherous and cruel 

[indian] 

fury and fear 

[futureman] 

we have to free our minds from anger and aggression 

[knight] 

chivalrous and bold 

pitiless and cold 

[indian] 

destiny's near 

[futureman] 

it's the only way to defy this cold machine 

[knight] 

valiant and true 

treacherous and cruel 

[indian] 

spirits appear 

[futureman] 

if we're to stand up to to this emotional oppression 

[knight] 

chivalrous and bold 

pitiless and cold 

[indian] 

the legend is here 

[futureman] 

we had better stand together as a team 

[knight] 

valiant and true 

treacherous and cruel 

[egyptian] 

Amon-ra, have you come to seal my fate? 

in the garden of emotions
