[Female – soft gothic] Across the mist where the wounded king sails An island waits beyond the final veil Nine sisters walk the apple-laden shore Where time grows still and pain is no more They take the broken, they take the brave And lay them down by the silver wave No sword can reach them, no war can claim The quiet light that knows every name [Male – hard modern rock/metal] I stood on the beach with a bleeding side Watching the boat as it crossed the tide Every breath heavier, every hope thin The isle keeps its promise and never lets me in [Both] Isle of the Nine Sisters Where the dying find their rest We came with wounds that would not heal Looking for the peace we could not feel [Female – switches to cheery pop] Sunlight soft on the orchard green I almost believe the stories I’ve seen Voices like water, hands like the rain Calling me gently out of the pain [Male – hard modern rock/metal] But the mist takes more than it ever returns It feeds on the longing that endlessly burns No crown of healing, no endless sleep Only the silence the waters keep [Both] Isle of the Nine Sisters Where the dying find their rest We came with wounds that would not heal Looking for the peace we could not feel [Male – hard modern rock/metal bridge] Feel the pull of a thousand years Feel the weight of a thousand tears Every warrior left the same With nothing but a whispered name [Female – soft gothic] If the sisters still walk those hidden grounds Do they hear the distant battle sounds The greatest gift was never the cure But the stillness we could not endure [Both – full power] Isle of the Nine Sisters Still waits where the mist is deep We left our blood on the turning tide And the island claimed what we tried to hide Isle of the Nine Sisters Keeps the secret in the gray We came looking for a place to stay And left with only the endless day [Outro – Female into Both] Somewhere the sisters still sing… Somewhere the apples still swing…
