C                      Em
  From the cities underseas
C                        Em
  To the sky ways in the east
C                          Em
  From the stations on the moon
C                  G 
  To the planet of Neptune
C                     Em
  I'm a sophisticated man
C                       Em
  And you would say I'd understand
C                 Em
  Is it a virtual design
                         Am          B      
  Are we launched into a time beyond time
Em              F
   Space beyond space
         Gm                Bb
  We are lost here in this cyber world
A
Is there no way out

C                   
I don't understand your words
Em
  They strike as hard as steel
C                                    Em              
I'm sworn to the sacred quest on the isle of Avalon
C
To retrieve the magic chalice
Em
  Which holds the power to heal
C                            G                       
  Only the pure of heart are received into the realm

          C                          
Just look around you now and tell me what you see
Em
A world full of treachery
C
Skies of silver and seas of gold
Em                                   
The past is young and the future old
C
We're closed in by iron gates
Em
Beyond them Elysium waits
C                                      Am          B          
Far away on the edge of the world in a time beyond time
Em              F 
   Space beyond space
       Gm               Bb
We are lost here in the underworld
A
Is there no way out
