[A. LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN] [highlander] what heathen place is this that I've arrived in is now the time I pay for all my sins I can't believe that this is God's creation this realm was fashioned by the Deil's ane hand [indian (chorus)] no it has been foretold, in our legends of old wake the spirit within, let the journey begin [highlander] this quest you speak of is for redemption how can we travel when our souls are lost you think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation when I can only sense the end is here [indian (chorus)] [knight] we're at the gates of Avalon, the island of spirits, we're at the gates of Avalon, in search of the grail [B. THE HALL OF ISIS AND OSIRIS] [roman] there's no way out, slaves for eternity down in the underworld, the jaws of Orcus I call on Jupiter, the ruler of the gods show us the way, from damnation to salvation [egyptian (chorus)] the fields of Yaaru lie waiting for us all rejoice! the judges have ruled we have been chosen to enter the great hall of Isis and Osiris [roman] no you're wrong, we're trapped here in darkness among departed souls, and mislaid spirits I call on Mars, the ancient god of war grant me the power, to free me from this evil [egyptian (chorus)] [C. STRANGE CONSTELLATIONS] [highlander] can you see the stars? can you recognize the constellations? if I could only see the hills that we're supposed to climb even the sunlight.....it doesn't warm.....doesn't wam how are we gonna find our way? if we can't recognize the stars, if we can't recognize the constellations where do we go? [D. REPRISE] [highlander] the quest you speak of, it isn't bound for glory no grail exists within this heathen land you think we find ourselves at gates of new salvation when I can only sense...the end is near
