It seems my time has come to pass I see my journey's end Scattered through the ashes of the past
Am I to believe what is waiting for me? Is afterlife gracious, eternal and free? The blood on my hands is the blood of the innocent?
What's left behind is ruins and fear A vision of death through flames turned to tears In time this will heal, but the scars will never fade
(Solo: Farmer)
Under cast-iron fist of the Lord We were ordered to slaughter for His cause Loving thy neighbour with a sharpened blade
I was told this was part of the plan Claim the crown and unite the broken lands All Gods are one, you serve a higher faith
(pre-chorus) And for this country I did bleed You gave me the sword to guide and lead But in the end I led us all astray
Take me to the lake Part the mists once more and Guide my soul back home (end pre-chorus)
(Solo: McNeill)
All the wisdom the Goddess must have Couldn't keep her from fading into black Belief is like time, it only moves one way
After all this is how it must be Nothing lasts in this ever-changing dream The world will move on, but the past remains the same
(Reprise pre-chorus)
(chorus) The land I sought to heal forever lost Caught between the cauldron and the cross A calling from the mists of Avalon Caught between the cauldron and the cross! (end chorus)
