1. Voices

Where is he? Through the mists, approaching Avalon
On his way to the fate for the chosen one
Where is he? Through the mists, approaching Avalon

Can you feel him, getting closer
He's been chosen, he's the one

2. At The Gates Of Avalon

Weary and confused, cast out of the gate
I caught of it the first view
Blurred through the mists, an immense silhouette
Of palaces, temples and domes

White walls shining
Hit by the light of the moon
Hung on high rocks
As built by the maker himself

Place of great mystery

Towers and high walls, carved on the rocks
As bright as the light of the sun
I was approaching, I was at the gates
At the gates of the great Avalon

The boat silently moved its way to the isle
As if hovering over the lake
I sensed a power, a surge through my skin
A shiver ran through my spine

Blood red writings
Adorning the buildings of stone
Telling stories
Of glory and old victories

And the mists fad'd away

Towers and high walls, carved on the rocks
As bright as the light of the sun
I was approaching, I was at the gates
At the gates of the great Avalon

3. The Priestess's Speech

Wolfram, I'm Morgain the priestess of Avalon
And this is the one time fulfilling your fate
Wolfram, your destiny is now in our hands
In our hands
This is the isle of the myth, of the legends of thousands
Of stories your books have preserved
She started her speech, it resounded in the mists
Resounded in the mists

Welcome to the sacred island
Welcome to Avalon

And she said with her gentle voice
Life is only through death
I heard the speech of Morgain Le Fey
Predicting my destiny

Life is only through death

Nine are the sisters, the priestesses nine
Of Avalon guarding the old mysteries
Nine are the powers, and nine are the spells
Nine are the spells
White and red waters, two wells and two powers
Baptism in water and blood you'll receive
You're here for "the Knowledge", you're here for the ritual
Here for the ritual

Welcome to the sacred island
Welcome to Avalon

And she said with her gentle voice
Life is only through death
I heard the speech of Morgain Le Fey
Predicting my destiny

After her words,
We left behind the shore
A warm breeze rose now
Into the mists we fell again
We climbed up the hill as expected
Entering Avalon

Only then I realized
Where the portal wanted me
Only then I figured out
The signs and prophecies I read

4. A Glance At Destiny

Huge and stately
Clinging high on the rocks
Inaccessible shrine
Unknown citadel preserving men's hope
The Order's abode

There it stood
Swept by the cold winds
So exhausted I was...
My heart leapt as I
Could now take a glance
At my destiny

5. Purification (Vescica Piscis)

A place of holiness, a place of mystery
A cave inside the palace, where ancient rites took place
The fish's Bladder
The hall of the two springs

Prayers resounding, echoes responding
Three circles on the floor, on the altar lying me

And the ritual is now to start

White waters will cleanse away your past
Through the powers of mother earth
Red waters will purify your soul
In the name of the saviour's blood

As I was lying, nine priestesses approached
They stood around me, laid their hands on me
They poured the waters, white and red on me

And the ritual is now to start

White waters will cleanse away your past
Through the powers of mother earth
Red waters will purify your soul
In the name of the saviour's blood

"Purify, with the saviour's blood
Purify, with the mother's milk
Purify, in the name of Avalon"

6. Blood And Blade (The Secrets Of Avalon)

I was led now out of that place
Through passages and corridors
Then down a narrow stone stairway we walked
Into the heart of Avalon

Into the heart of the sacred island
Deep down inside her mother's womb

Sanctified by the saviour's blood
Blood and blade for our souls
Sacrificed for the life of the king
Blood and blade for our souls

Two niches two wondrous artefacts
Were preserved in that sacred chapel
"Blood and blade for our souls" I could read
Carved on the white marble of the wall

The holy grail and Excalibur
I bowed in awe to their magnificence

Sanctified by the saviour's blood
Blood and blade for our souls
Sacrificed for the life of the king
Blood and blade for our souls

7. Once And Future King

Hic iacet Arthurus
Rex quondam
Rexque futures

A sleeping knight, I saw
Dressed in silk and gold
A shield, a sword aside
His hands lying on his chest

It was so long ago
When wars ended his reign
Fought against his own blood
Doomed to lose it all

I've been praying for so long
Shed so many tears
Over this cold stones
My dear brother, my kin
Hero and warrior brave
Once and future king

Majestic figure
Marked by battles old
Source of sacred power
Affecting now my soul

We had him taken here
Life-drained and powerless
We gave him rest and a future
Here to be fulfilled

I've been praying for so long
Shed so many tears
Over this cold stones
My dear brother, my kin
Hero and warrior brave
Once and future king

Now hear me!
Oh Arthur!
What am I to do?
Mighty hero
Once and future king

8. Avalon

And again, after all I'd been through
There I was in the Fish's Bladder
And taken to the holy altar
A golden ritual gown
I was obliged to dress
Before lying on the altar of rebirth

All the hall resounded
Of drums and psalteries
And the voices echoed
Of the psalmody

"Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
Allow us the mystic power to open the sacred doors
Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
My your benevolence release his soul
And admit it in your reign"

The hall grew darker
Energies flew away
And to their prayers
I felt my life fading away

I couldn't move a finger
Senses began to fail
All was confused what I could feel

Anguish and fear assailed me
Everything was unreal
Couldn't understand what I was seeing...

Shadows all around me
Colors and bright lights
Sounds were all indistinct
In a messy whispering

"Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
Allow us the mystic power to open the sacred doors
Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
My your benevolence release his soul
And admit it in your reign"

"Welcome Wolfram to this place
Place where the ends and life begins
Where the One will face the fire of rebirth"

Upon me were burning flames
Wearing out my soul in pain...

"Wolfram meet your destiny,
We make you now the One"

Death in fire...
Life in death...
Regeneration...
It's Avalon's rebirth

A warm flow of vital essence
Revived what remained of me

Voices became clear figures
The goddess at last I could see

Wolfram, we've performed the rite
The great rite of regeneration
On you...
You now have the power

She firmly now took my arm
And then raised her eyes...
Pronounced loud the invocation
To mark me as the One

I mark you know with the sign
The sign of the One
The one and only upholder
Of the powers of Avalon

After these words at once
I opened my eyes...
I looked at my burning arm
And I saw the sign

9. Where Past And Future Unite

It was so many years ago
Between the two great rivers
When a strange artefact was found
An immense circle made of stone

Break the sign code
The glyphs
Break the sign code
The key

Power portal
It's where past and future unite
Sacred science
The prophecy said we'll all know
Power portal
Key to the knowledge
The way to the truth
The way to the point where past and
Future unite

The order hid the portal
In total secrecy
Since then they've all been studying
Its ancient mysteries

Break the sign code
The glyphs
Break the sign code
The key

Power portal
It's where past and future unite
Sacred science
The prophecy said we'll all know
Power portal
Key to the knowledge
The way to the truth
The way to the point where past and
Future unite

10. Initiation I

Back in 2010
Confusion reigned on earth
Machines took over the world
There was no space for feelings and art

"Novice accept this name
We now baptise you Wolfram
"The Path" is your life from now
Nicholas is dead, and you will rise
Again... in the end"

11. Beyond Life (The Legacy)

A black sign on my skin
Painfully marked my new life
New great powers, knowledge
Avalon's rebirth
That's the gift I obtained
By undergoing the rite
I can feel in my veins
My blood renewed
Vital spirit

Life
Beyond life
Life
A new life through death beyond life

Visions or reality
I went through the otherworld
They took my soul, burned it
Made it new
Like the heroes of Greece
I could see what's beyond
And now like a god, by Avalon
I can give rebirth

Life
Beyond life
Life
A new life through death beyond life
