Guitars of Avalon

V5.5

[Intro] (Intricate acoustic guitar fingerpicking) (Soft mandolin-style accents) (Deep male voices humming a rhythmic drone: "Oh-ma-re") [Verse 1] (Vivian Fragile - soft and storytelling) In the mist where the islands sleep And the willow trees begin to weep The silver strings begin to play To call the heroes far away Across the lake of emerald green The ancient world is heard and seen [Chorus] (Full Choir and Vivian - melodic and rhythmic) Guitars of Avalon, play for me A song of hope and destiny Deep in the wood and high on the hill The spirit is alive and still Gloria, Avalon, Gloria! [Instrumental Break] (Focus: Rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming) (Male choir rhythmic chanting: "E-re-bus, E-re-bus, Avalon") (Bright guitar solo with a folk-melody) [Verse 2] (Deep male choir - melodic) The knights are gone, the swords are dust But the music is a holy trust It lives in every wooden grain In every drop of summer rain We pull the chords and wake the ghosts From the golden and the silent coasts [Chorus] (Full Choir and Vivian - melodic and rhythmic) Guitars of Avalon, play for me A song of hope and destiny Deep in the wood and high on the hill The spirit is alive and still Gloria, Avalon, Gloria! [Bridge] (Tempo stays steady, guitars become more percussive) (Male choir in a deep, rhythmic round) Strike the string (Strike the string) Let it ring (Let it ring) Voices rise (Voices rise) To the skies! (To the skies!) [Verse 3] (Choir and Vivian in soaring harmony) So let the magic lead us home Across the fields of ancient loam Whatever’s lost is found in song Where the heart is brave and strong The melody will never die Underneath the Avalon sky [Chorus] (Full Choir and Vivian - melodic and rhythmic) Guitars of Avalon, play for me A song of hope and destiny Deep in the wood and high on the hill The spirit is alive and still Gloria, Avalon, Gloria! [Outro] (Guitar fingerpicking returns to the intro style) (Male choir fading: "Avalon... Avalon...") (Vivian whispers: "The island is waiting...") (Final, resonant guitar pluck) [End]
