Sun going down, she opens her eyes
It's dark in the belfry and cold Whispers of rain, wind in the sky So long it's been all she's been told Dream child, you're all alone Roaming through the night Scream child, lost and ashamed For all the tears you cry You're a child in sadness A chessboard nightmare to go Hear that silent symphony Calling you up to the shore and you'll see us *As we sail away Moonstruck and astray We're fallen angels We're the scary tale To scare your mind away From fallen angels So many days, wasted in haze You're free, oh so free on their strings Illusions of life, they say you can fly They laugh and they cut off your wings Night child, they give you steel And make you believe that it's gold Lies child, all that you're told Is just what you shall know When they 'know' we are evil We're strangers And danger and fire The dark and the light We are eyes in the night Lost souls' they curse For we've found it inside *Repeat When they say you're a fossil When their eyes nail you to the cross Take their curse and join our way Welcome my friend On the ship of the damned - hey! *Repeat (2x) |

Gaze at the leaving clairvoyant
Predicting invasions and pain A child can see through the stranger... The watcher's eye, the noble liar It's time for the merchant and his help for sale... Blades to cut wicked flesh On a merchantman he counts his money Then he sails away The sea he'll cruise is blood and fire Oh father I can't see a lane They make you a pawn in the game For we all are deaf, dumb and blind After the storm, when the magic has gone Drown in the tears of a mandrake Pawn in the game, invisible chains Try to move, you'll feel as they graze After the storm, when the magic has gone Drown in the tears of a mandrake Fading away, the final decay Try to move, break out from your chains When you're off to the hall of the serpent See the cynic who's counting his gold While gun runners, priests and clairvoyants Are dancing around the rising Demon You are taught to eat up all the crap they shit Parading your nuts on a silver plate Kill your brother by the blade they sell For you don't unite They reap your bondage sowing evil There's no use to tell what I've seen They know how to make you believe Just what they want you to know After the storm, when the magic has gone Drown in the tears of a mandrake Pawn in the game, invisible chains Try to move, you'll feel as they graze After the storm, when the magic has gone Drown in the tears of a mandrake Fading away, the final decay Try to move, you'll feel as they graze Ohhh... After the storm, when the magic has gone Drown in the tears of a mandrake Pawn in the game, invisible chains Try to move, you'll feel as they graze After the storm, when the magic has gone Drown in the tears of a mandrake Fading away, the final decay Try to move, you'll feel as they graze Drown in tears of a mandrake...(Mandrake!) Drown in tears of a mandrake...(Mandrake!) |

Yeah...!
In a world of hate pollution We can't breathe anymore. We've to leave and this time you, The pawn, have won. On our quest for nowhere island We set off to the sea. You call surrender what we call a calm Before the storm... Pounding thoughts of home They make me know... I will return! I don't live my life for you It's too short to get burned. Stand upright and face the wind... Time to go Back where I belong... No one can prevent me from Raising towers in Babylon. Time to go Back where I belong... No one can accuse me For I do not fear Babylon! Babylon...! You only can love me if you can convert me To attitudes of your brain. You blame us for doing things That you don't know You tell me what you'd do If you were me, but you are you and I am I Lucky you, but this time I say: "No!" Pounding thoughts of home They make me know... I will return! I don't want to hurt you But you will have to learn... You are you and I am I! Time to go Back where I belong... No one can prevent me from Raising towers in Babylon Time to go Back where I belong... No one will accuse me For I do not fear Babylon! Ohhh... Oh yeah... Time to go Back where I belong... No one can prevent me from Raising towers in Babylon Time to go Back where I belong... No one can prevent me from Raising towers in Babylon Time to go Back where I belong... No one can prevent me from Sending ships to Babylon Time to go Back where I belong... No one can accuse me For I do not fear... Babylon! |

Blinded by the fire
And the sorrow of the day I come knocking at your door To dry the tears away The eventide is calling me To take a look into your eyes Pull me on and make me mesmerized Riding on the wings of light Dreaming dreams and holding tight Leaving all my sorrow far behind Your eyes are the gate... *To the land of the miracle Where our love can make us fly... make us fly! In the land of the miracle We can find a reason why... and how we can fly! Open up the Book of Madness Read the page of life Who's the one to tell you what to do And how to rise? And if the stars would fall one day I'd climb up to the sky To put them back for you to save your smile Riding on the wings of light Dreaming dreams and holding tight Leaving all my sorrow far behind Your eyes are the gate... *Repeat *Repeat *Repeat ...Take a look into the book of fantasy and poetry and you will see... What you can feel is everything you need to heal your crying mind, the soul behind and everything that you may find inside your head... ...A million years have passed away to make us head for the decay and to unlearn just what we yearn for all day long... right to be strong and stick to our ideals are they for real and do we just have lost the thread?... (...I believe in miracles they happen every day. In your arms a dream comes true for me, comes true for me...) (...Isn't poetry one of the biggest gifts to forget our daily life of sorrow?...) I believe in miracles, they happen every day... In your arms a dream comes true for me, comes true for me! I believe in miracles, they happen every day...! |

Strong on your feet, you were blinded
Building up a tower on shaking ground Once in a world full of colors Back to see just ruins there to be found And now you're falling, crawling Digging in the broken remains Of what had to be taken for strong Slowly it's been fading away *Come into the painting on the wall So the joker smiles Come into the painting on the wall No more crying Illusions let you in from the rain Follow Mr. Hopkins, get insane Stories are told, wanna hear him? Talking from the picture to your head Follow the call of a puppet Led into a black room painted red Where life is painless, brainless You don't think of broken remains Of what had to be taken for strong Slowly it's been fading away *Repeat Ohhh... Look at the picture Point at the child there on the floor Realize that it's a looking glass *Repeat (2x) |

Yeah...
This is my day, soldiers are coming To take me away - may justice be done I hold on to pray But no God seems to hear me The pain I will face is the price for disgrace For things that I've never done The toll of the bell and the flight of the raven They open my cell, I feel it's too late There's no need to yell They don't want to hear me The morning has come It seems like my work's been done Today I'll be the one Sometimes it's good to be schizophrene 'Cause when I'm close to the end I've got always a friend On my lonesome way to the final decay I listen to a voice telling me *Now dream away... Follow me astray To a world that we can reach On wings of a dream Now dream away... Follow me astray To a world that we can reach On wings of a dream I've got the key to the end of the nightmare To leave all the dreams of bane and despair The life I redeem has got the price of insanity That you just can't get 'Cause you're not even mad You only trust in your eyes! Sometimes it's good to be schizophrene When I'm close to the end I've got always a friend On my lonesome way to the final decay I listen to a voice telling me *Repeat Once upon a time there was a noble man like me He only cared about the things he saw One dark night without a moon he loved The dog of his queen Thinking it was her, he enjoyed "Life in the raw...!" *Repeat |

Longing for silence
Always faster is the way that we go Not a little patience Higher, farer, better we grow. The Beast is rising, it's tantalizing Those who are taking the time. Alienation, a revelation... Straight to the end of the line... The cold chill you feel Is no dream, it's for real, we don't follow *Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No, we don't play the headless game! We are alive and don't say goodbye. Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No, we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye... Cast out from Eden... You don't like what we are in your eyes We're leading the treason On the race you run, the way of your life I am danger, I'm a stranger 'Cause I don't give in to your call. And not until she is satisfied We can come and explode and we fall! We're blowing the frame Of your headless game, we don't follow! *Repeat Longing for silence Always faster is the way that we go Not a little patience Higher, farer, better we grow. The cold chill you feel Is no dream, it's for real, we don't follow *Repeat Fly! |

From the cradle of silence and of light
It took a birth in human blood Angels cried! To the ages of violence and of hate To explore the left hand path I came alive Into my striding, the shell of a God in the cold My soul is just hiding My spirit haunting on to control *Flame of the Nile, fire in the darkness To swallow the light Behold the ghost of a God God from the Nile, eternally roaming To swallow the light Behold the spirit of a Pharaoh, Pharaoh, pharaoh, no! To the world of Spirits he's sailing on and on Why magician don't you feel they broke the seal Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere Far away from his grave, Seth is free Roaming through ages Begetting advice for your Kings, yow... Leading the stages Of history that's bound to my strings, no, no, no... *Repeat Don't you see that it's coming, it's near The wise man screamed in the noble chamber Just a parrot in a rich man's cage He's a jester on the court The wise man died and the seance went on And the red one reigned in the noble chamber In dreams of a masterplan For a billion parrots in a big cage Afraid of the eyes that shine in the darkness You don't realize, afraid in the haze You point at the man that grins in your nightmare And don't realize the mirror you gaze into You don't wanna see the spirits behind sceneries "To the world of Spirits he's sailing on and on Why magician don't you feel... they broke the seal Cyril's facing the tyrant everywhere Far away from his grave, Seth is free" I guide your away I make you stay alive My servants taught you know how to survive The way of light is food for your soul But it's your belly that's taken control No guiding light would shine anymore It's just the Red God replacing the core He'll rise again to open up the gate We have to learn for our future, our fate... Ohhh... *Repeat Ohhh...Yeah...! The ghost of a God... Slave to the pyramid... |

The prayers have been spoken
May the Gods be on my side May they join my way to bring me Turnschuhs of victory Seven at one stroke My triumph and my pride Will be history... But behind my enemies eyes A soul in disguise Not only lies *We live to fight the hand of doom We got the pride to strike a fool Vain glory be my wicked guide We live to fight the hand of doom We got the pride to strike a fool Vain glory be my wicked guide What's Hell without a Paradise? What's the night without a day? We would think it's bright What's a fall if we can't rise? What's a hero at a play Without a fool to fight? But behind my enemies eyes A soul in disguise Not only lies *Repeat Oh... But behind my enemies eyes A soul in disguise Not only lies! *Repeat |

Oh yeah...!
Watching a face and a smile and a light When you're walking alone in the street I know your look always gives you the might Many "miles" from your ass to your feet And I dream - what I've seen Is what I want it to be - selfmade reality *How many miles to the gate of reality How many steps left to go to my dreams How many miles to the land where my dreams come true Dreams which come true just have died Look like a queen but you talk like a pawn And I know you're a fool in disguise Godfather tell me how to carry on Blinded by fantasies of lies And I dream - what I've seen Is what I want it to be - selfmade reality *Repeat I see your smile, a golden masquerade And I know my dream It will be my fate Time has stolen my fantasy 'Cause it has become a pale reality How many miles [Repeats:] *Repeat |

We're the little creatures
Deep inside your mind Some call us their fantasy But some do never find We can teach philosophy But still we must commend... The state of our existence Right into your hand Welcome 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... Inside, so deep inside Die if I don't dream anymore Inside, so deep inside Die if I don't dream anymore... Dream anymore... |

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 power. Use your mind! You will leave the flesh dimensions behind Sanity can be the toll Leading to the core of your soul *Repeat *Repeat We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy We are the kingdom of light and dreams Gnosis and life... Avantasia! |
