Song Of Illusia/Little Ditties/Joxer The Mighty Songtext

von Xena - The Bitter Suite

Callisto:
Glad that your feeling strong, Thought I might lose ya,
Don't use words, Sing a song -
This is Illusia

Xena be warned, Xena beware
By closing your eyes you can see what isn't there
Xena be calm, open your eyes
Lies maybe truth and truth may be lies

Xena:
All right, Callisto, cut the song and dance. What's going on? Where are we?

Callisto:
Fate is a wheel, it will reveal
All you've become, all that you feel,
Destiny knows what has to be,
You'll pay the price, nothing is free,
I'll be your guide, take the hand of your muse,
You just might lose your way in the Land of Illusia

Illusia is music, a world built on rhyme
It's carved out of space in the absence of time
You've tasted how evil and good coexist,
The bitter and sweet of it...

White Dog:
...All in the lips that you kissed!

Callisto:
Lion and bull, eagle and snake
To live or die
It's a choice you've got to make
Can you undo what you create
Step through the wheel
Follow your fate

Chorus of Animals:
The fates have a fix on you,
We can play tricks on you,
We deal in truths you're too troubled to face,
Gamble the worth of you, on the rebirth of you,
Don't turn away, don't start to fade
What's still unwritten...
...You can erase

Callisto:
Your villainous infamy tortures your soul
Descent into evil must levy it's toll
The darkness that rots you has brought you to this

Snake:
Surrender serenity, suffer sweet misery,
Sin seeks it's curse abyss...

Anubis:
...Oh Xena, with death there is always rebirth...

Sphinx:
...Come see with a vision denied you on Earth...

Callisto:
Illusia is waiting - we'll show you the way
But all consequences are your own creation
And there's a price you must pay

Callisto and Chorus of Animals:
The fates have a fix on you,
We can play tricks on you
We deal in truths you're too trouble to face
Gamble the worth of you, on the rebirth of you
Now it's the time, this is the place

Callisto:
What's still unwritten you can erase

Chorus of Animals:
Illusia is music, a world built on rhyme
It's carved out out space, in the absence of...

Xena:
Alright Callisto.
So you like little ditties...
Fine, I got one for you.
You're acting so strangely, that I hardly know ya,
But still I wouldn't trust ya, as far as I could throw ya.

Callisto:
You're wrong not to trust one that knows you so well!
I never betrayed you -
That was... Gabrielle

Xena:
Gabrielle!
Is she here?
The one who betrayed me -
Is she in this land?!

Callisto:
I'm merely your guide, dear,
Along for a grin,
You'll get no free ride here,
If you want to know more...then spin!

Gabrielle:
The Elysian Fields!
Only heros wind up here...
Dead heros... dead naked heros!!

Joxer:
Joxer, the Mighty: master of geography
Here to guide you on your way
Stick with me, you'll never stray
If you're in a land that's new
I'm the man who'll get you trough
Even when you're slightly nude
I'm Joxer! Joxer the Mighty!

Gabrielle:
So much for the Elysian Fields theory.

Joxer:
Yeah!

Gabrielle and Joxer:
Ahhh!!

Gabrielle:
How did u...Joxer, go away! Can't u see I'm naked?!

Joxer:
Yeah, well, maybe I can help you out...

Gabrielle:
Go!

Joxer:
Being naked won't excuse ya,
Sing to talk! We're in Illusia.
