What's Still Unwritten...Song of Illusia /Joxer the Mighty
 
Callisto: 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
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...ahhh
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 villaonous infamy tortures your soul Descent into evil must levy it's toll The darkness that rots you has brough 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 ot space, in the absence of...
Xena: Alright Callisto So you like little ditties Fine, I got one for you. You're acting so strangly, 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 mearly 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: Joxer, 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 land of Illusia.
