THE MISTS OF AVALON June 25/84 Karl Rigelhof

Let me take you back to a time that is gone
To a place that is lost to the memory of mankind
To the enchanted isle of Avalon
Where magic was the only truth we could find

The Lady of the Lake ruled as the mortal embodiment of the Goddess
The rhythm of life was in harmony with the moon and the sun
Mother Earth gives the cycle of life and death it's endless
And all men were treated equal and all gods were one

CHORUS:
Within the mists of Avalon
Where the simple beauty of life belongs
The music of the seasons play their sweet songs
Perhaps one day we may right the wrong
And dissolve the mists of Avalon

The ancient rites give thanks to the gift of life
And assure that prosperity will continue
The knowledge is now lost through ignorance and strife
As the seeds of fear that
Christianity planted grew

They refused to live together side by side
So the island was removed from the eyes of men
Only those who held the faith deep inside
Could find their way back to the magic land again

CHORUS:
Behind the mists of Avalon
Where man and nature live as one
The gods are worshipped under the sun
Under the light of the moon is spun
The music of the seasons singing their sweet songs

Beneath the mists of Avalon
Forever lost, but one day may come
The mists may dissolve
Time may stand still
And life has just begun
Within the mists of Avalon

Beyond the mists of Avalon
Time seems to travel on
Along its destined way
There may come a day
When all is/has/have gone
Into the mists of Avalon
