Reborn
Avalon Rising Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was younger, 'bout a thousand years ago
I was a tiger and a warrior of the snow
Once born a creature that I hardly could describe
My lives were many and so many times I've died

The wonders that I've seen
Are fodder for a thousand dreams
I've touched so many lives
And looked at life through different eyes
You seem familiar, I've seen your soul before
Our first encounter, twenty-one or fifty-four

I am a traveller over space and over time
I've lived in bodies that didn't feel like mine
I've been on planets encircling distant suns
Magical landscapes where life had just begun

Our paths have crossed before,
A distant world, a foreign shore
We've shared a time and place
And occupied a common space
You feel familiar, I've shared your soul before
We've been connected, I want to know you more

Surely time has kept us apart
Though you've remained inside my heart
Four hundred years in solitude
Yet each day held something new

We've been alone so many times and still we've gotten through

I'd gladly be reborn each time anew
If I could spend eternity with you

And so my story
Doesn't seem to have an end
We are both riders on a journey here and then
If we are lucky, our lives will touch again
You, my companion, are my close and dearest friend

We'll get along just fine
In separate worlds in separate times
And we'll be born somewhere
As two souls in a body shared
You're so familiar, I've been your soul before
We lack as seperates, combined we're so much more





I've travelled memories to be reborn
