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! Reach out for the light far beyond confines. You have read the magic lines leading to the light in your mind... 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! Reach out for the light far beyond confines. You have read the magic lines leading to the light in your mind... In your mind? |

Reading the madness they took her away
under the cross. Bailiff and bishop and monk Malleus Maleficarum - the law Prayed for salvetion, I fought for her soul scared by the horned. The devil was creeping around until she died in the flames as he saw. Father forgive me for I've hardly seen the human deep within. Just an intention so holy and clear - paving the way to madness for us. Serpents on the way to paradise dying for love, fighting for ages. Serpents on their way to paradise raging with anger and pain for the cross. Father forgive me for what I have done. For I betrayed the one that I loved like a son. Demons and spells are they reality? The pest and the schism; the power of the Moor We've got to fight. Keep our people afraid. Keep them away from what they shall not see. I see a menace to our paradise in these evil times. Heaves is burning, people are yearning for a new doctrine, they are Serpents on the way paradise. Don't know they'll end in final damnation. Serpents on the way to paradise Raging with anger and pain against the cross. Lord if I'm an unbeliever - what do I believe? Can you tell me lord what you had done if you were me? I have stared into the eyes of innocence and fear. I saw Anna in the tower in a lake of tears. Something strange is going on and still I don't know why. I have stared into the secrets they still try to hide. Vandroiy can you tell me what you know about it all? Vandroiy can you help me to leave this prison hall? Vandroiy can you help me free Anna from the chain? Vandroiy can you help me to become a little sane? Serpents on the way to paradise Dying for love, fighting for ages. Serpents on their way to paradise Raging with anger and pain... |

All we can do now is break away! Oh - otherwise she will be dying while both of us are lying here in chains. Always been a novice in quest for paradise. Hope they will forgive me for I apostatize. I can't be no hypocrite, can't wear a masquerade New horizons wait And now the time has come to go another way. To learn for life and to grow ripe and prevent the decay Breaking away!

Days had come, winters had gone,
and we gamboled like siblings in Paradise. I was your knight, holding you tight as a brother when I saw your crying eyes. Time went by and we had to say goodbye. Staring up to the clouds above Children - so little and sad. Hoping the saints could help one day Lead us together again. Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in hands. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. Stepbrother tell me where have you been when they brought me to this godforsaken place. Sign of the cross - they took me away for healing with herbs by the way of grace. Now I wait for the day to feed the flames. I have been caught in a cage of despair. My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare. But no holy water can make me forget you again. Time telling me to say farewell but I knew that I would fight hell and I knew: We will go for another time we can see, for another time we'll be free, for no more farewell. No farewell could be the last one. If you long to meet again. |

Jesus Christ I'm coming - terrestrial home.
I'm allowed to guide their train to visit you in Rome. I am sick of preachers telling to be plain while you got it nice in here. They'd better feel ashamed. Oh, ways of gold lead is into Your blaze of fame. Oh, are You waiting for what we have brought You from hell? Glory of Rome, glorious home. Praising the king of the kings. Glory of Rome, glorious home. Reaching for haloes and wings. Heading for the angels, heading for the feast, heading for salvation and the ruin of the beast. Let us fight the outcast, let us brin 'em fire, let us lock the center of their wicked, mad desire. Oh, ways of gold lead us into Your blaze of fame. Oh, are You waiting for what we have brought You from hell? Glory of Rome, glorious home. Praising the king of the kings. Glory of Rome, glorious home. Reaching for haloes and wings. Holding in my hand: Seven parts of a seal to unlock the land of illumination I feel. And it's been foretold: after touching the light we shall lock the world. But now it's our time to transcend, the ultimate key in our hand. Glory of Rome, glorious home. Praising the king of the kings. Glory of Rome, glorious home. Reaching for haloes and wings. |

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 Use your mind! You will leave the flesh dimensions behind. Sanity can be the toll leading to the core of your soul. 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. Use your mind! You will leave the flesh dimensions behind. Sanity can be the toll leading to the core of your soul. 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! Oh - Avantasia Oh - I hear the voices Oh - into the light Oh - Avantasia... |

We're the little creatures
deep inside your mind. Some call us their fantasy but some to never find. We can teach philosophy but still we must commend The state of our existence right into your hand wlcome to this place in here come overstep all your fears Where have you all been once when I was alone? When I was a hero in their crazy wicked show you've sent no little spark into my darkened view of life. Did not make me ask for what is wrong and what is right. And still I regret to be here. I'm dreaming of Anna in tears. Inside - so deep inside you will die if I don't dream anymore? Inside - so deep inside you will die if I don't dream anymore? |

From a world of reign they come
In a world of mammon we have found it all! Fighting for pride and for gold. But the key to the reign, to the ultimate control wisdom of the old. We have been elect to drain the wine of Gnosis to hide it and pray. Got to save our children from the beast. We are on the way. Seven eyes to be blind forever in time Sign of the cross Hell arise! Castigation under the sign, sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine In the heart of justice called Horeb long ago Moses got carvings in stone. Imposed to judge those who do not fear the only, the holy, the lord The blood of anger and pain Ink of the Old Testament I know they'll end their crusade drown in the blood of the lamb Remaining in darkness the land of salvation will drown. And when we'll have vanished slavery will take your freedom down. Seven eyes to be blind forever in time Sign of the cross Hell arise! Castigation under the sign, sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine You have been the chosen one, so welcome to this place. Vandroiy's told us you would come to help us win the race. Bring baclk the seal from the men who don't know what they do. Seemed to be a fool without and own way of life. But you've been a sleeping mind and you woke up on time. You'be got the power to save us and finally you. A dream is forever. The land of salvetion can't drown. These enchanting colors - who could have the might to tear it down? (all these colors - fantasy...) Seven eyes to be blind forever in time Sign of the cross Hell arise! Castigation under the sign, sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine |

Where do I go?
Never had a very real dream before. Now I got a vision of an open door. Guiding me home, where I belong, dreamland I have come. Oh where do I go? Never had a flesh and blood like this before. Got a new appearance when I passed the door. Is it a dream I am withing? Oh what's going on? Down, down, down Go down, go down, go down I roam into nowhere. Don't see an end: eternal wastelands. And I hear the voice, the voice, the voice, the voice Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Never been a fighter, neber been a man. But I must help Vandroiy, he's my only friend. Nowhere to go but I know that he knows how we will get her out Magic of transcendence brought me to this place Vandroiy in reality lead me on my race. Told me to bring back the seal but still I don't know where I shall go. Can't you 'feel' the voice? You don't have a choice. What a kind of life Freedom in flesh - shackles on your mind. Go all the way to the tower! Find out the secrets behind! Go all the way to the tower! For all the wisdom of ages doesn't die. Men have good intentions on their way to the light. But som of them are venal and end up in the night. Maybe it's better for you, mankind, not to know what's going on. Sometimes we must go ways that seem to be wrong. What a kind of life Freedom in flesh, shackles on your mind Go all the way to the tower! Find out the secrets behind! Go all the way to the tower! Find out the name of the one who reigns from inside You have come the long way through ages to bring me the seven parts of the seal. So now throw it over the walls of the tower. Throw the seal! But first Godfather, what about the prophecy? What about your reward: The ultimate illumination, the gnosis and the power to defend your kingdom on earth with a strong hand? What about the prophecy? I realize For the glory, for the glory, for the glory, For the glory. Oh - what is going on? For the glory, for the glory, for the glory, For the glory. Oh - what is going on? Gabriel I can feel You have it back - book and seal. Still no war is won, we have just begun Go all the way to the tower! Long for the secrets behind! Go all the way to the tower! Found out the name of the one who reigns from inside Go all the way to the tower! Long for the secrets behind! Go all the way to the tower! Found out the name of the one, Of the one Oh, how could the stranger steal the seal away? Was it my fault? Or was it no one's fault at all? |
