Ruins at Avalon's Gate Lyrics

Boarded windows
Bordering the soul
The darkness grows

Stagger blindly
Void of control
Don't let the pain show

Cries of torment
Dying Conscience
In dark chambers
Of one's mind

Challenge issued
Stands unheeded
Chance for victory
Slowly fades away

Trial of life
Song of mourning
Sing of the page as it turns
Hearken to the voice
Meting out the sacred terms

Living defense
Brought into play
Swift is the escape

Baseless conviction
One stands alone
To claim the martyr throne

Mask in the mirror
Muted and grey
Words never stood in the way ...

Tale of lies
Song of illusion
Time will judge us in Turn
Brace for the pain of rebirth

There are at least five bands using this name:

1. Cairo is the progressive rock band now lead by the trio - keyboard virtuoso Mark Robertson, singer Bret Douglas and drummer Jeff Brockman. Their major influences include obviously ELP and Yes, Dream Theater, Kansas or Boston (in the vocal stylings). High-pitched, emotional multilayered vocals, strong rhythm section, heavy guitars and vintage keyboards (such as hammond organ, piano, plenty of synthesizers) as well as thrilling, epic compositions and thoughful lyrics are trademarks of this group.

Featured on the yes tribute, "Tales From Yesterday", this progressive outfit also have three lp's, one self titled, "Conflict and Dreams" and "Time of Legends".

2. CAIRO is an indie band based out of Toronto. Nate Daniels (Vocals/Guitar), Matt Sullivan (Drums/Percussion), Caitlin Grieve (Strings/Vocals), Dante Berardi Jr (Guitar/Vocals/Synth) and Joel Dalton (Bass/Key/Synth) have an obvious affinity for haunting quiet and walls of sound. Their music – sometimes orchestral and sometimes minimal – can be characterized as strangely familiar while remaining unmistakably new.

3. Cairo is an alternative/math rock band from Vancouver, BC made up of JP Lancaster (guitar, vocals), Mark Crawford (guitar, vocals), Dan Crawford (bass, keyboard), and Tristan Thompson (drums). They're self titled debut album was released in January 2010.
