The Eye Of Ra Lyrics

Artist: Ayreon
Album: Star One

A. Gateway to the Stars
Storyteller:
Far away in outer space
A traveller from another world left his dying race
He found our planet, full of life
In the body of a little boy he could survive

And Ra will live forever
He gains his powers from afar
And built a gateway to the stars

Archeologist:
I have finally found the key
To chart a course to the other side of the galaxy
I need to find the seventh sign
Carved into the cover stones of an ancient time

And Ra will live forever
He draws his powers from afar
And built a gateway to the stars

B. The Eye of Ra

Marine:
Unaware of our coming fate
We disappear through the ancient gate
We arrive in a desert land
And set up camp on the burning sand

Behold, a thousand slaves
Mining ores in the planet's caves
They give us shelter from the storm
Then Ra appears in a human form

Native girl:
Ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us

Marine:
A tall ship descends from the sky
Lasers flare and many men die
A bloody battle has begun
We must destroy this â'king of the sun'

Native girl:
Ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
Ooh, an alien race
The Eye of Ra is watching over us

C. The Seventh Sign

All:
We have found the seventh sign
Down in the catacombs
When the seven points align
They will lead us all back home

Storyteller: Dan
Archeologist: Damian
Marine: Russell
Native girl: Floor
All:.Damian, Floor, Robert, Russell & Dan
