Avalon It's a long, long walk to Avalon,
Down a road that few have seen.
It's a long, long time since the bard has sung,
And the Earth was wild and green.

Chorus: Avalon (4X)

Tell me, where can the unicorn lay his head?
Tell me, where have the wood sprites all gone?
Tell me, where have the Sidhe, the proud Dannan fled,
Taking with them the balefire's glad songs?

Chorus

Tell me, how many times must the Sun set down,
With no legends to tell where he goes?
Tell me, how many times can the Moon shine around
On desolation where forests should grow?

Chorus

Comes a dying god, on a bloody cross,
And a Horned Lord of evil to fear-
Pushing men to arms, with their sanity lost,
To draw blood in holy wars.

Chorus

Firsts the Winter snows lay nature to bed,
In the icy death of the year.
Then the springtime Sun shines apon my head,
And I know I have nothing to fear.

It's a long, long walk to Avalon,
Down a road that we can see.
It is not so far, nor it is gone,
Avalon's in you and me.
