1. Avantasia (edit)
Gabriel:]
Open my eyes
and see my bleeding wounded hands...
Feeling the pain too hard to stand. To stand...
Caught in the 'now and here'
while they are on the way.
Hiding imagination, leading us astray...
[Lugaid:]
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind.
Sanity can be the toll -
leading to the core of your soul.
[Gabriel (along to the voices in his head):]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy.
We are the kingdom of light and dreams,
gnosis and life: Avantasia!
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy.
We are the kingdom of light and dreams,
gnosis and life: Avantasia! - Avantasia...
Walking along the icy gallery of pain.
Tell me now: What can keep the flame alive?
Lack of imagination - raising up the tower
where they hold our souls
to take away the tower.
[Lugaid:]
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind.
Sanity can be the toll
leading to the core of your soul.
[Gabriel:]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy.
We are the kingdom of light and dreams,
gnosis and life: Avantasia!
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy.
We are the kingdom of light and dreams,
gnosis and life: Avantasia!
[Solo - Henjo]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy.
We are the kingdom of light and dreams,
gnosis and life: Avantasia!
Oh - Avantasia - oh
Oh - I hear the voices -oh - yeah...
Oh - into the light - into the light...
Oh - Avantasia... oh...
2. Reach Out for the Light
[Gabriel:]
Yeah -yeah...
Lord above - why don't you tell me
why I'm here in agony?
I've been serving, I've been praying
now I'm caught in misery.
I've been praised by friar Jakob,
I misused his confidence.
Cheated by this work of evil -
feigning Anna's innocence.
Oh what have I done?
So many ways lead to the fallen one,
Lucifer, fallen light...
Oh what have I done?
What is going on?
We should bring salvation,
not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy world
and no forbidden lies that hurt.
I remember words of "seven".
Set me bree - sanity!
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind...
[Gabriel:]
What is right and what is wrong now?
Is it a trial of paradise?
Is Anna a witch or do they stick to an error?
What's the book and the seal inside?
Am I a cleric or maybe a sinner?
Unbeliever? Renegade?
Was it the devil who led me to "seven"?
Oh redeemer is it all too late?
Oh, what have I done?
I have been led by the smelling one,
Lucifer, fallen light...
Tell me stranger, what have I done?
Oh what's going on?
We should bring salvation,
not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy world
and no forbidden lies that hurt.
I remember words of "seven".
Set me free - sanity!
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind...
[Gabriel:]
...in your mind? Yeah - oh - yeah...
[Solo - Henjo]
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind...
3. The Final Sacrifice
[Gabriel:]
Staring into the lake, watching for heaven s sake
faces screaming in fear.
Crying like at the stake, in the fiery waves
I can see all the souls how they suffer and howl
in their eternal pain
Service taking its toll, living life in hades.
All the souls that left their mortal
frame if it's been dead or not
All the deaf who did not hear the truth
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was their final sacrifice
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was their final sacrifice
[Jakob's voice:]
Someone pullin' me out to come back to my flesh
Or I'm going insane!
In a world under Rome, in the fiery waves
Can't you see all the souls, how we suffer and howl
In our eternal pain
Service taking the toll, living life in hades...
Oh I see you standing on the
shore of castigation now
We don't wanna burn no more so pull us out, out, out
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was our final sacrifice
Get ready for the brimstone -
getting blisters on the eyes
The power of the spirit was our final sacrifice.
Get ready!
Solo: Jens Ludwig
Get ready for the brimstone...
