They must then go through the Tunnel of Light, but the Highlander (Fish) refuses to reach the light, stays behind, accepts his death slowly, and lays himself down to die while the others continue.
Forever of the Stars:
Be joyful, my friends! You will now enter the Tunnel of Light!
Let brilliance suffuse your souls! Make your choice!
Your path is incandescent!
HIGHLANDER:
Don't offer me the light, when I only know the darkness
Thats where I want to hide...
There's a chill in my bones, that I recognise from another life
That's why I'm heading home
EGYPTIAN: Ra, Heliopolis! Ka, Anenti!
ROMAN: Into Elysium!
KNIGHT: The isle of Avalon!
EGYPTIAN: In the tunnel of light!
HIGHLANDER:
Don't tempt my heart with hope!
In the shadows of broken promises, I guard my dreams
In the bend of a swollen river
In the roots of weeping willows, I choose to lie
EGYPTIAN: Ra, Heliopolis! Ka, Anenti!
ROMAN: Into Elysium!
KNIGHT: The isle of Avalon!
INDIAN: The legend has begun!
FUTUREMAN: Our one and only sun!
EGYPTIAN: In the tunnel of light!
EGYPTIAN: Ra, Heliopolis!
HIGHLANDER: I rest my broken heart, where the willows weep
EGYPTIAN: Ka, Anenti!
ROMAN: Into Elysium!
HIGHLANDER: I will lay me down...
KNIGHT: The isle of Avalon!
HIGHLANDER: I will rest my head...
INDIAN: The legend has begun!
HIGHLANDER: I will close my eyes...
EGYPTIAN: In the tunnel of light!
