Tears Of A Mandrake
by Edguy Gaze at the leaving clairvoyant Predicting inovasions and pain A child can see trough 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 sales away The sea he'll cruise blood and fire Oh father i can't see a lane They make you a pawn in a game For we are all deaf, dumb and blind Chorus: 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 feeel as the 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 of to the hall of the serpent See the synic 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 belive Just what they want you to know Chorus: 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 the 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 Tears of mandrake - yeah Chorus: 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 feeel as the 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 chain Chorus: 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 feeel as the 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 chain |

Jerusalem - Edguy
Cold in the wind, starless the night Rain pouring down when the last one arrives So many stories telling of pain Are told by the freaks they've been throwing away Ride out, set off to the sea Odd fellows, you and me Sail on to a world far away That might not exist, we must be insane Torn and feathered Put in the pillory my friend Accused as a fool marching on In quest for a place they don't know To Jerusalem The piper inside, can't you feel him calling You don't be afraid of the horizon To Jerusalem Don't you give in to their fingers pointing So don't be afraid, you won't crash at the horizon The dwarf and the giant, children who stray The dreamer who's walking far off their way A jester cast out, he can't laugh anymore Here comes the freakshow... Welcome on aboard Torn and feathered They'll never get what you say Kill what they don't understand Don't know and don't even try To Jerusalem The piper inside, can't you feel him calling You don't be afraid of the horizon To Jerusalem Don't you give in to their fingers pointing So don't be afraid, you won't crash at the horizon Torn and feathered Put in the pillory my friend Accused as a fool marching on In quest for a place they don't know To Jerusalem The piper inside, can't you feel him calling You don't be afraid of the horizon To Jerusalem Don't you give in to their fingers pointing So don't be afraid, you won't crash at the horizon |

Out Of Control
by Edguy Into a place of darkness, he was born to live alone He got one big desire, one day he'd get the crown Hey devil, come on help me now Be the one to pull my string Let me be your slave to serve you To let me be the king Just give me a sign Take on my mind and let me stay blind A victim of life too weak to be kind Out of control My life is a chamber of tears, fear and hate Out of control Help me to gain the crown, here is my fate Wherever I may roam there will be hate and pain Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, respect is what I gain I look up to Mr. Crowley, evil powers: now unite I will be your darkest nightmare My life's a fatal fight Just give me a sign Take on my mind and let me stay blind A victim of life too weak to be kind Out of control My life is a chamber of tears, fear and hate Out of control Help me to gain the crown, here is my fate Listen up my friend: you just cry for a hand But you only pretend that you're bad - now Well, take on my mind Out of control My life is a chamber of tears, fear and hate Out of control Help me to gain the crown |

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 your headless game! We are alive, 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! Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye. Fly! Riding away... Rising today... No we don't play your headless game! We are alive, don't say goodbye. |

Scarlet Rose
by Edguy The moment when you held me tight won`t come back any more And at the end of that night you slammed the door My dream it died away just when I saw red And nothing but a memory is left inside my head Nothing is forever in life But a memory believe it`s true And when I gaze in the rain i`m crying just for you The scarlet rose has died Lost inside the night Left in my mind like a dream and full of pride The scarlet rose has died The one and only way to catch the beauty of a dawn Is to take a picture of the growing sun I got that experience no one could steal away One moment of your life is mine I remember day by day Nothing is forever in life But a memory believe it`s true And when I gaze in the rain i`m crying just for you 3x Refrain |

Nailed On The Wheel
by Edguy Good intentions pave the way of the human child Heading for the fork as you walk the path of life A spell cast from the hiding woods, don't you close your eyes The snake is waiting anytime to penetrate your mind Don't you hear voices whispering, incline to walk down Don't you see the shadow on the wall, angel eyes... the one cast out to fall Calling me to look up to the sky we follow but we never know oh why A vision revealing a child down where I've sure never been An angel who's touching the flame, oh the angel is me ★ Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, let the cut run deep Nailed, nailed to the wheel - Nailed, I said go - let bleed! Go, - let bleed!★ Feel it crawl, feel the magic coming over like a daze Welcome as the poison for the cornered snake Taste of sin, bitter sweet, never, never let us go But never, never, never is a price we'd pay to grow They call it original sin, some call it divine The moment the evil appeared... the chance to decide From children in cradles to hangmen who smile Lick up the blood from the blade of your knife Walk the stairway, leading down, ride on fire, take the crown Your mind could be strong but your flesh will be mine He's offering those kingdoms, they all could be thine Rising powers, tempting gold, but at what price would it be sold? It's all up to you... |

Vain Glory Opera
by Edguy The prayers have been spoken May the gods be on my side May they join my way to bring me victory Seven at one stroke My triumph and my pride They will be history But behind my enemy's 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 enemy's 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 But behind my enemy's 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 |

Theater Of Salvation
by Edguy "I've heard voices in my dream. Made me stand up, helped me see. Aaah... Oohhh... Visions called him to awake his mind, to find his horizon and find out what may be behind. (vision:) "Take what you need, you can find in the back of your soul! Wake up the king in yourself to be mighty and bold!" Seasons of doubt, fear and silent desires of life have gone by. Visions have called back my longing for freedom tonight. Made me sigh... Wasting my life till the day that the voice has appeared... Made me see: I am the one that can make it through times of despair; I am free!" They built up a symbol of warning to give me fear, to keep me away from paradise although it's so near, expecting I don't take a look at what is behind: Freedom calling... Take a look at the open gate! Walk on and don't be afraid! Free your mind in what they call it's the heart of temptation! ...oh... Go the way! Take a look at the open gate! Walk on and don't be afraid! Free your mind in what they call it's the heart of temptation! Night after night I remembered the word of the priest: "Thou shalt not! Never give in to the promises made by the beast, so help me god! Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell a long, long time! Forever-eternal-salvation is what I can sell if you stay blind!!!" But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell. And I wont believe all the stories that they always tell. I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong. Freedom calling... Queen of mine I long for you. Tell me why to wait to find our joy! It's your wait for heaven's door, your fear that makes them grow and let you forget today. I'll never go and I'll stay on your side. They'll never know what I give to you is a piece of paradise. Heaven can wait! Now I'm living! Heaven can wait forevermore. Heaven can wait! I am to live like I want to also before I'll die. Heaven can wait! You can't thrill me! Heaven can wait, we dance till we die! Heaven can wait! Welcome to the THEATER OF SALVATION "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" I hear the man in black, his "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" He tries to keep me back. No! "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" Lock up the gates to wisdom Hallelujah, hallelujah... Too late! I've found the kingdom... Hallelujah, hallelujah! I see a band of angels. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Freedom calling... Hallelujah, hallelujah! I do not fear the stories. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Freedom calling me... Don't you see it? Don't you feel it? Freedom calling... |

Am I totally blind this time when I'm dreamin'
The dreams that I fear, some call it nightmare And some call it life, what is the sense of Existing in here And I think of the sadness when I'm dreamin' of Leavin' the pain I don't get all that madness And it drives me insane Now hear me cry, I'm in quest Of the key to my fate I might be nigh to the key In the abyss of hate Annihilation in my brain What is the price that we will be to pay When will you lift our little poor souls When will you take us oh lord away Oh when will we die Why to suffer to stand up right We are victims of time We have to fight till the end is in sight What's the reason to carry on What's the reason to fall After days of living hell After we had to crawl, Are we totally blind this time Can't you tell me the nexus of freedom And pain and desires and hate And even the holy one |

Deadmaker
by Edguy I can't feel, and I can't see I'm falling down what's going on with me Lord in heaven why am I here Do I live to rise or rise to fall to shed another tear One more time I fell that I'm alone I can't describe it cause it's better to be shown Feel the darkness covering the spite Hear me screaming when it's pounding deep inside Forever I'll be a poisoned thorn I'll be haunting among your lives The moment I was born it was time for him to rise Deadmaker, deadmaker Why don't you realize That he can paralyze you all My sorrow created by you And even me cause I'm a self-destroying fool I feel the spirit growing deep inside I don't expect your comprehension 'Cause even I don't know why |

Land Of The Miracle
by Edguy 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 up 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 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 |

Until We Rise Again
by Edguy [MUSIC & LYRICS: SAMMET] 2080 - Our world is an empty domain Emotions have died Men bleeding oil are the heroes for children today Drinking the blood of the weak dictators bring pain But they show us a smile Feelings and love are kept hidden in a Madhouse cave It's a mad revolution And the spirits will die Oh escape the confusion Take my hand [CHORUS:] Now take my hand Take me now Take my hand We won't be so free Until we rise again Eden is mad so enjoy it and fly to the sun Don't you return Your breath and your heartbeat are gifts You've been given for life - oh yeah Oh our deepest emotions Are a sign of our life and our love No robot can stop us Take my hand [CHORUS:] [solo: Jens] [CHORUS:] Now take my hand Take me now Take my hand We won't be so free Until we rise again ...yeah... |

The Unbeliver
by Edguy I am the madness carrying the torch Lighting the wheat in your fields I am the eyes staring out of the dark I am the war of your yields When you give response away I grow I am more of you than you might know Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever I am the vision that comes to your mind When you denounce without regret "God" is the word in the bible you say I am the word that you spread When you give response away I grow I am more of you than you might know Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever I'm born and I lead the weak into the fire "No more pain" is what you claim While you have found your wicked desire Hahaha... Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers Burning down, burning down Put the blame on the unbeliever Burning down, burning down It's a story of deceivers (...and we still chase the evil - not realizing that it lurks inside of us...) |

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 my 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 and 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 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 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 the life in the raw * Repeat |

Don't know where I come from
Don't know where to go Don't know if I know What is good to be known I wonder if madness Is just a child Of my urge to know The more that I ask The more I get down A million times My quest for life is pain But still it has not made me going insane And I long for more For a trace of life Tearing down all doors For a trace of life You tell me you wonder If wondering is heaven or hell You say that you've got the view On the dark side of life You can't see the shadows The others can see But you can see it's well: The sun and the day The light in the sky A million times Your quest for life has been pain But still it is the key to make you sane |

Always listen to what they tell - dreamer
Crazy habits are work of hell - dreamer Dressed in black and ordinary suits - dreamer All my life I have paid my dues - goodbye But here I am yo go my way But here I am I am sick of being here to pay Never try to understand - dreamer What I do and how I can - dreamer Making love in middle of a street - dreamer Let them talk about how we treat ourselves - that's right But here I am yo go my way But here I am I am sick of being here to pay But here I am yo go my way But here I am I am sick of being here to pay |

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

Walk On Fighting
by Edguy The ivory is cold, where is my desire? In a cage of gold, not a trace of fire Ice cold as ice, I`m heading for tomorrow I am tired of waiting, I'll beg and steal and borrow Life is to short to be wasted So why do I sit around Dance on the edge of a razor Get off the ground and I`ll never return Walk on fighting Don`t look ever back Walk on fighting Don`t you look back to your cries The phone it waits in silence. No message left by you There is no use in crying. I know I`ve been a fool Now it is too late. No words left to say I gotta call it fate, forget and look away Life is to short to be wasted So why do I sit around Dance on the edge of a razor Get off the ground and I`ll never return Walk on fighting Don`t look ever back Walk on fighting Don`t you look back to your cries Walk on fighting... |

Wake Up The King - Edguy
Soldier of sunlight Welcome to the kingdom of ignorance Where all the tears of ages tell their tales No one dares to break the spell No one dares to fly Time is running out you can't deny How many times Have you found yourself under the influence? How many times has a mirror mad you cry? Now it's time to stand upright Tear down your inner door The birth of yourself can't wait no more In your mind there's a battle raging on Try to find what you're fighting for Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Tears flow to rivers And rivers to oceans of broken dreams Have you ever heard of tears of joy? Show yourself a sense of life Open up your eyes Let your heartbeat be your best advice In your eyes I can see the fire burn Realize, now it is your turn Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Look at the mountain, look at the sun Feel all the pure energy Birds fly and whisper, call out your name They belong to you and you're the King of a kingdom, light in your hand Look at what you have never seen Walk on a rainbow, look to the stars Cry it out and make your dream come true Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Wake up the king From his sleep in your fantasy Wake up the king Let him be all you ecstasy Can't you see the crown? (...and the vision continued: "There is less sense in complaining than looking for your skills...") |

All The Clowns
by Edguy When you're walking down the empty road Feel like creeping, crawling, cold and bare And you're afraid of Mistery Scary-face Don't turn around since you may find him there A fire of hope has turned into smoke, The child to a man It's nothing but grey painting your way And no one could ever tell... Tell me why all the clowns have gone Tell me where did they run Just when I close my eyes I can see them arise Fool tell me where did you go Foll tell me why did you go away, all the clowns On and on, tomorrow's yesterday No more tears allowed, you'll stand your pain The child inside will die for liber |
