Ayreon - Abbey Of Synn lyrics

Once upon a time as in Ancient history

High upon a hill in a shroud Of mystery

Loomed the abbey as we Journeyed through the night

And wended our way Towards the light

As we entered through the Gates

We heard the silent calls

There was something evil

That lurked within these Walls

As I relive my days in this Godforsaken place

All that appears before me Now...is her face

Another man died today like The ones before

With blackened tongue and Blackened finger

Within the labyrinth behind The bolted door

Lies the answer to our Mystery

Heed the book that kills -

It holds an evil power

Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower

Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower

For laughter kills the fear Within

The abbey of synn

We found the secret path That led us here to you

Give us the deadly book of Laughter

Too many men have died for A teaching of the few

Open up your heart reveal The mystery

Heed the book that kills -

It holds an evil power

Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower

Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower

For laughter kills the fear Within

The abbey of synn

And then she came 2 me Like a creature from the Dawn

Enchanting as the moon - Radiant as the sun

She took the boy in me and Gave me back the man

With a force I could not Withstand

The seer burned the abbey Down and perished in the fire

We couldn't save the book The flames were rising Higher

So many died in vain for an Ancient discipline

Laughter kills the fear within The abbey of synn

Heed the book that kills -

It holds an evil power

Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower

Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower

For laughter kills the fear Within

The abbey of synn
