Sisters of the wayside biding time in quiet peace Await their place within the ring of calm (Ahhh) Still stand to turn in seconds of release Await the call they know may never come In times of lightness, no intruder dared upon To jeopardize the course, upset the run (Ahhh) And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun As love in the halls of plenty overrun
Ahh-ahhh Ahh-ahh Ahh-ahhh Ahh-ahh
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast Unending dances shadowed on the day (Ahh) Within their walls, their daunting formless keep Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray (Ahhh) And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed But no one seemed to question in anyway
Ahh-ahh Ahh-ahhh Ahh-ahh Ahh-ahhh
