The Castle Hall Lyrics by Ayreon

Timeline

1998

[Forever of the Stars (Peter Daltrey)]
At last! You enter the Electric Castle! Here, in this vast hall, where
Even shadows fear the light. Here, you must confront your past
If you have killed, beware the Gathering of Spirits
For they do fish for men. Here, the disembodied Astral World
Becomes flesh once more. I pity the men of swords
For here, blood runs cold...
[Barbarian (Jay van Feggelen)]
Cries from the grave resound in my ears...
They hail from beyond my darkest fears...
Faces of the past are etched in my brain...
The women I raped, the men I've slain!
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall...
[Knight (Damian Wilson)]
I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur
Grant me the skill to fulfill my quest!
I call upon my king, the knights of the table round
Grant me the courage to stand to this test!
I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
Grant me the magic to end my pain!
I call upon the spirit that lives in the noble heart
Grant the passion that will fill my veins
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall...
[Barbarian (Jay van Feggelen)]
Cries from the grave resound in my ears...
They hail from beyond my darkest fears...
[Knight (Damian Wilson), Barbarian (Jay van Feggelen), Both]
I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer
Faces of the past are etched in my brain…
Grant me the magic to end my pain!
I call upon the spirit that lives in the noble heart
The women I raped, the men I've slain!
Grant the passion that will fill my veins
Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall!
Demons dance in the castle hall…
