Illusia
..
One of my favorite songs. Callisto does a great job as Aleph.
Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Callisto (Hudson Leick) both do thier own spoken voices, but Michelle Nicastro does Callisto's singing.

CALLISTO:
.Glad that your feelin' strong
                Thought I might lose ya
               Don't use words--sing a song
This is Illusia!
...
 CALLISTO:
             Xena be warned, Xena beware!
              By closing your eyes you'll see what isn't there
Xena be calm, open your eyes
                Lies may be truth, and truth...may be lies
 
XENA (spoken):
      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
                 And 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
 
DOG:
            All in the lips that you've kissed
 
CALLIsto:
 Lion and bull
 
Eagle and snake
To live or die
           It's the choice you've got to make
      Can you undo what you create?
      Step through the wheel
      Follow your fate!
 
          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't erase
 
                 CALLISTO:
                Your villainous infamy tortures your soul
                   Decent into evil must levy its' toll
             The darkness that rots you has brought you to this
 
                        SNAKE:
                         Surrender serenity
                        Suffer sweet misery
                      Sin seeks its' cursed 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 is a price you must pay
 
                         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
                    Now is the time this is the place
 
     CALLISTO AND ANIMALS:
                  What's still unwritten you can't erase
                  Illusia is music a world full of rhyme
               It's carved out of space in the absence of--
 
                       XENA (spoken):
         All right, Callisto.
      You like little ditties, fine. I got one for ya:
                      You’re acting so strangely
                       That I hardly know ya
                      But still I wouldn’t trust ya
                      As far as I can throw ya
 
                         CALLISTO (spoken):
                      You’re wrong not to trust
                     One who knows you so well
                        I never betrayed you
                 
                        That was…Gabrielle..
