Ayreon - Amazing Flight (Electric Castle Live And Other Tales)

Amazing Flight from Ayreon’s new release Electric Castle Live And Other Tales. Amazing Flight was recorded at last year’s spectacular live performance of the third Ayreon album ‘Into The Electric Castle’. Over four nights at Tilburg’s 013 venue (the scene of Lucassen’s Ayreon Universe series of live shows in 2017) Lucassen, his band and one of modern progressive music’s most emphatic of casts celebrated the 20th anniversary of ‘Into the Electric Castle’ in front of 12,000 adoring fans from 64 different countries who had flown in from around the world. Order: LYRICS: There is danger ahead. But do not be afraid. For I am with you like breath itself. Darkness will lead to light - colour will bleed into the night. Beautiful colours, the like of which you have never seen. Let the dream of confusion lead you into the virgin light! Be gone! Be all-seeing, be brave... Be gone! [A. AMAZING FLIGHT IN SPACE] [barbarian] I’m lookin’ ’round bewildered is this some dark and evil jest? what brought me to this cursed keep perchance some crazy quest god forbid I am no coward! pitted against monster, man or ghost, I’d wield my blade with crimson gusto for I’m the proud barbarian host! [hippie (chorus:)] hey dude, you’re so uncool but hey, that’s allright like there’s no need to get uptight my eyes reflect the stars and a smile lights up my face we’re on an amazing flight in space [barbarian] I shook city, walls and towers wreaking havoc in the streets burned palaces of cow’rdly kings not a one stood up to me bear bloody banners in blazing skies! brandish battle-axe and broadsword! let drums of glory sound like thunder! hail!! barbaric warlord!! [hippie (chorus)] [barbarian] I load my black stallion With grim determination I found a kingdom Where I chose to settle down Righteous men would hang me But I’ve given hell to pay Cause nothing is as dangerous As a barbarian warlord [B. STARDANCE] [indian] chanting [C. FLYING COLOURS] [instrumental] #ayreon #arjenlucassen
