Ayreon - Abbey Of Synn Lyrics
Once upon a time as in Ancient history
High upon a hill in a shroud Of mystery
Loomed the abbey as we Journeyed through the night
And wended our way Towards the light
We heard the silent calls
There was something evil
That lurked within these Walls
As I relive my days in this Godforsaken place
All that appears before me Now...is her face
Another man died today like The ones before
With blackened tongue and Blackened finger
Within the labyrinth behind The bolted door
Lies the answer to our Mystery
Heed the book that kills -
It holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear Within
The abbey of synn
We found the secret path That led us here to you
Give us the deadly book of Laughter
Too many men have died for A teaching of the few
Open up your heart reveal The mystery
Heed the book that kills -
It holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear Within
The abbey of synn
And then she came 2 me Like a creature from the Dawn
Enchanting as the moon - Radiant as the sun
She took the boy in me and Gave me back the man
With a force I could not Withstand
The seer burned the abbey Down and perished in the fire
We couldn't save the book The flames were rising Higher
So many died in vain for an Ancient discipline
Laughter kills the fear within The abbey of synn
Heed the book that kills -
It holds an evil power
Those who turn the leaves Wither like a flower
Well guarded by the seer Inside the abbey tower
For laughter kills the fear Within
The abbey of synn

Ayreon Abbey Of Synn Comments
oh wow, Robert Soeterboek nailed this song so goood on Ayreon Universe <3
Speechless..I only can share this is how I imagine the music of the future.
Una de mis favoritas <3 Te amo Arjen!
WOW! The Name of the Rose (1986) homage! Also this is my favorite song from the album!
My favourite book plus my favourite musician :)
one of my favourites.. The images this song creates in my head combined with the "electric/digital days vs ancient times" vibes of the song are astonishing.
Solo at 3:53
...aaaaand chills all over my body.
Yophio same here!!
All of these songs are pure GOLD!!! Man this is pure ART !!!!
the theremin outro melody is one of the greatest melodic moments in mankind's history. I hope the alien race that someday obliterates us from this planet realizes Arjen's genius and preserves his works in a museum documenting the history of our race
Agreed!
If an alien race obliterates us, why would they memorialize a human thing? Seems out of context. But all in all, yes. This music needs to he preserved.
Arjen, if you read this please post every song on a playlist as a timeline.
I still have no idea where this fits in the canon!
I don't think anything from "Actual Fantasy" is meant to be :P
back on planet earth and the dawn of man do
I dunno about Back on Planet Earth, but Dawn of Man is a given :P
My point though is that I don't think it's *meant* to necessarily fit. It feels like more of a standalone album in the style of Ayreon as opposed to Star One and Ambeon. Am I making sense?
It's on Timeline so it's canon :^)
i always figured actual fantasy is just another dream sequencer protocol.. makes the most sense to me atleast
Arjen I could kiss you (not gay), thank you for uploading these great tunes. I'd also like to thank you for making great prog or should I say making prog great again.
Favorite song from Actual Fantasy. I hope you play this in september!!
