The Decision Tree (Live)
["Forever": John de Lancie]
Mortals!
You finally all arrived
The party begins with ache
In the shade of
The Decision Tree you have an important choice to make
Until now it's all been fun
The cursing, the sobbing, the crying, and the shouting
And I love your silly notions of Avalon and Elysium
Stations on the Moon
All so endearing
But humans listen to my words
The road ahead is dangerous
Now only seven will continue on this quest
So make a choice and make it quick
Survive, or death
[Barbarian: John Jaycee Cuijpers]
Let it be known I won't be the one to die here
Honour and glory are heaped upon my name
Let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here
What about the tall one, the one who's lost to shame
[Highlander: Fish]
I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners
I've killed and wounded on the side of right
I've reaped the harvest and scattered fields with ashes
I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate
[All:]
We're alive
[Highlander: Fish]
I've followed princes
[All:]
We'll survive
[Highlander: Fish]
I've followed kings
[All:]
We will strike for our freedom
[Highlander: Fish]
I will take their lead no more
[All:]
We're alive
[Highlander: Fish]
I will not lie
[All:]
We'll survive
[Highlander: Fish]
In shallow graves
[All:]
We'll arrive in our Eden
[Barbarian: John Jaycee Cuijpers]
Let it be known, by Thor, the god of lightning
I have been chosen to do battle at his side
Let it be clear I was born to go down fighting
What about the craven, the one who's lost his pride
[Highlander: Fish]
Don't speak to me of honour, pride and glory
I've tasted blood, seen your type before
You talk of battle but all you tell are stories
You'd see me buried in a shallow grave
[All:]
We're alive
[Highlander: Fish]
I've followed princes
[All:]
We'll survive
[Highlander: Fish]
I've followed kings
[All:]
We will strike for our freedom
[Highlander: Fish]
I will take their lead no more
[All:]
We're alive
[Highlander: Fish]
I will not lie
[All:]
We'll survive
[Highlander: Fish]
In shallow graves
[All:]
We'll arrive in our Eden
[Highlander: Fish]
I'm nobody's slave
[Solo]
[All:]
We're alive
We'll survive
We will strike for our freedom
We're alive
We'll survive
We'll arrive in our Eden
