Avalon

And again, after all I'd been through
There I was in the Fish's Bladder
And taken to the holy altar
A golden ritual gown
I was obliged to dress
Before lying on the altar of rebirth

All the hall resounded
Of drums and psalteries
And the voices echoed
Of the psalmody

"Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
Allow us the mystic power to open the sacred doors
Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
My your benevolence release his soul
And admit it in your reign"

The hall grew darker
Energies flew away
And to their prayers
I felt my life fading away

I couldn’t move a finger
Senses began to fail
All was confused what I could feel

Anguish and fear assailed me
Everything was unreal
Couldn’t understand what I was seeing...

Shadows all around me
Colors and bright lights
Sounds were all indistinct
In a messy whispering

"Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
Allow us the mystic power to open the sacred doors
Almighty goddess descend on us, for Avalon
My your benevolence release his soul
And admit it in your reign"

"Welcome Wolfram to this place
Place where the ends and life begins
Where the One will face the fire of rebirth"

Upon me were burning flames
Wearing out my soul in pain...

"Wolfram meet your destiny,
We make you now the One"

Death in fire...
Life in death...
Regeneration...
It's Avalon's rebirth

A warm flow of vital essence
Revived what remained of me

Voices became clear figures
The goddess at last I could see

Wolfram, we've performed the rite
The great rite of regeneration
On you...
You now have the power

She firmly now took my arm
And then raised her eyes...
Pronounced loud the invocation
To mark me as the One

I mark you know with the sign
The sign of the One
The one and only upholder
Of the powers of Avalon

After these words at once
I opened my eyes...
I looked at my burning arm
And I saw the sign
