Ayreon -The Tunnel of Light (Electric Castle Live And Other Tales)

Live song, of one of four live performances between September 13 and 15, 2019 in Tilburg, to celebrate the original album’s 20th anniversary. Lyrics: Be joyful, my friends! You will now enter the Tunnel of Light! Let brilliance suffuse your souls! Make your choice! Your path is incandescent! Don’t offer me the light When I only know the darkness That’s where I want to hide There’s a chill in my bones That I recognise from another life That’s why I’m heading home. Ra, Heliopolis! Ka, Anenti! Into Elysium! The isle of Avalon! In the tunnel of light... Don’t tempt my heart with hope In the shadows of broken promises I guard my dreams In the bend of a swollen river In the roots of weeping willows I choose to lie Ra, Heliopolis! Ka, Anenti! Into Elysium! The isle of Avalon! The legend has begun! Our one and only sun! In the tunnel of light! Ra, Heliopolis! (I rest my broken heart, where the willows weep) Ka, Anenti! (Into Elysium!) I will lay me down... (The isle of Avalon!) I will rest my head... (The legend has begun!) I will close my eyes... ...In the tunnel of light Composer: Anneke Van Giersbergen / Arjen Anthony Lucassen
