Composer:
Like a wheel I keep on turning
Straight ahead, it's got me burning
The melody – the dignity
Something is speaking to me
Night is cold and my soul is battered
Not afraid for the first no what I realize
We coincide I'll never belong to the tribe

RAT RACE

There’ll be fireworks tonight
Everybody’s on their knees
Admiration for the one
Riot in a dead-end street
Don’t be afraid to hear his voice
Tells you lies you wanna hear

You turn off the light
And you won't make no difference
You hear the echoes fade away
When the cries of despair
Turn to a sound in distance
The road ain't divine
Black are the wings that will carry me home

[Gabriel]
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.

[Spirit:]
A genuine soul to dwell on baleful grounds
Glances wandering around
In the darkness of the world
Clouds have closed a ring around the sky
While the old ones hear the chimes
Through the darkness of the world

’ve been walking down this orad*
With a suitcase full of dreams
I’ve seen my demons come and go To show me what I need
Madness, walking dynamite
Been dancing on the edge
They got me by the fuse
Smiling with a match
I wanted love, I wanted life

[Gabriel:]

I remember it was long ago
But when I think of her I fell it grow
Something begs me to come home again
Something I can hardly stand

But I'm to defy, I have to ignore her cry

Don't wait my friend. We better don't think twice.
Time to fell the prison guard you gotta realize:
No turning back again. Therefor it's all too late...
New horizons wait...

I know the time has come
te leave your past behind.
And now the time has come

Never been told my prayers would be answered
Wherever I go, I see you around
Never been told that something that beautiful
Would bring me up to let me down

Waiting up on the roof
Waiting up in the rain
Just to catch a glimpse of your face

[Gabriel:]

Ah - Hugh !
Show me the way to he hallways below
Rome, I will be there
I've seen them burning in fire
They all bear too much to bear

A heart out of affection, a night at the masquerade
You won some and you're long some
as the spotlight fades
Going forth pretending destination is at hand
When she's crying just a little just for me

I've seen them set off to the Promised Land
Escaping from the hurtings they don't understand

Living in the darkness
What a cold and lonely night
Voices in the darkness
Sing a sweet sweet lullaby

Something's coming nearer
Anyone to join in game? A game
Welcome to the attic

You shed draconian love
You shed draconian
You shed draconian love
You shed draconian

Welcome to your way
Seemingly endless as you take your wings
The world through kaleidoscope eyes

In the eyes of the mighty domain and its evil
Doctrines, there is no trace of romance
But the fears that grow
Noone can watch his next into the eyes
You killed the poetry of mine
A long time ago – NOW

How many times have you given me rage

Farewell (оригинал Avantasia)

[Gabriel:]
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.

FOREVER IS A LONG TIME

Young is the day
Still it’s the same
The same old tomorrow
Colors too bright
So dream in black and white
If you wanna rise from the hollow

You're tossing and turning
You think you're awake while you're trying to run
Like in a nightmare
Time loves your ego to death
You're leaving the wheelwork to the ground of being
You go on
Defying temptation in the engine room that is ourself

A million coming from a narrow aisle
Squashing through the needle's eye
A million voices, a million dreams
Fallen by the wayside
A million crosses, depleting tribe
Memories pave the pathway
Untold numbers without a name
For those who follow

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 wnat it to be - selfmade reality

In My Defense

In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong

[Tree of knowledge:]

Coming from the wastelands
Full of reason, common sense
Where their princliples are blocking minds
And you don´t understand
Giving you belief,
You never touch, you never see

[Elderane]
We're the little creatures
deep inside your mind.

[Regrin]
Some call us their fantasy
but some to never find.

Heading for another life
In a new world far away
Why not me, oh Lord
Why did Vandroiy have to die, why

Dreamers come and go
But a dream's forever
Freedom for all minds

I'm smothered by your lucid nothing
I can't hear and touch and see
But I feel it
Though I can't believe it
A master of the observation
Coming up with an explanation
There's no need
Making use of the spirit

Another star has fallen without a sound
Another spark has burned out in the cold
Another door to barrens standing open
And who is there to tell me not to give and not to go

How could I know? how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know? how could I see?

[Aaron:]
Who‘s the one who‘s stretching out his hand
Is it it or is it me that won‘t lose hold
Take on to the pendulum and sway
Like a mistletoe I‘m clinging to the cold, yeah

[Watchmaker:]
I am the trellis for those in need to twine around

[Falk:]
Oh, I dare not to sleep anymore
Cause I see her face in every nightmare
In all the windows of my haunted house
And when I dream a dream of flowers
I wake up in my hand a bloody rose

'Blood shall come upon you'

A dawn on the run, nowhere to hide in a life of
Corruption, insanity has won, I'm living in hate
And preaching destruction
I'm screaming tonight, my vengeance

To fight has killed all morality
The cries of the toll and madness control
And liberate my energy – Axe to the wax !

We've played our roles in our passion plays
They've imposed on us right from the cradle
Now matter what you dream beware of what you say
Until the cogwheel's out of control to burst out of place

No time to breath don't have no time to waste
Bring on the night seize every drop of life away

[Bishop:]

Cought in neverland, no purpose to be seen
There's no point of destination
Neverending wastelands, such a wicked odyssey
Don't know what we have done wrong
Lead us back to Rome to follow you again
Bring you the power, get salvation

[Lugaid:]
Mental vigour's been right on the egde
To a 'stupefying' hole of no return
Now we dance a holy war is won
But there must be more we got to learn

[Gabriel:]
Don't you know that I'm here I must go

Hey redeemer
Now what's become on me
taken in by promise
awakening in grief

Collecting us like puppets
you instrumentalize
A frigid trepidation

[Gabriel]
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.

Goodbye
Your pocket full of dreams
Your mind in a daze
Keep on chasing rainbows
Fly high
Leave the past behind
The dark road you take bears no escape

Predetermination, belief
Veracity of incidents
Reconciliation
Between justice and tomorrow
You're innocent

It's only human to just close your eyes

I spy with my little eye
Things you ll never see
Whispers burn my eardrum
It s eerie to the feel

I see them crawling up the wall
I see them staring at us all
Am I afraid of what I know

It ain't the far cry that it seemed
In just a wink we'd come for you
You may not feel it
We are the light, the scorching heat
We are the untold chosen few
And now we've come for you

We'll fit you like a velvet glove

[Gabriel:]
Reading the madness they took her away
under the cross.
Bailiff and bishop and monk –
Malleus Maleficarum – the law

Prayed for salvation, I fought for her soul –
scared by the horned.

[Tobias Sammet:]
Like a wheel I keep on turning
Straight ahead, it's got me burning
The melody — the dignity,
Something is speaking to me
Night is cold and my soul is battered
Not afraid for the first time now that I realize
We coincide, I'll never belong to the tribe

[Gabriel]
From a world of reign they come...

[Pope]
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.

Tonight, tonight, tonight
Heal me, heal me

Yes in the darkness of the night
I know there's someone near me
I can't explain but it's all right
As long as this won't leave me

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

[Falk]
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.

I can't count the days I've days I've roamed
A stray ghost liked to wither on the vine
A paling tales of days long gone
I won't be untill you close your eyes

Sleep time
Someone's always by your side

The Scarecrow

[vocals by Tobias Sammet, Jorn Lande and Michael Kiske]

[Tobias Sammet (Scarecrow):]
I'm just a loser in the game of love
I'm just a stray boy in the shade
And how I wish to know what love is like

[Believers:]

Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armaggeddon's drawing nigh
Sinner cry ! Heathen die !
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
In the fiery rain

отрывок:
[Gabriel:]
Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe
Until I felt in burning deep inside to set my spirit free
And I escaped to another world to help the little men
who make me plunge into philosophy – to feel my
mind again... No one left to hold me tight – on the
'real'other side – but her in chains

"The Story Ain't Over"

Rousing from dreams, craving for someone
Wept himself to sleep
He s waiting for a sign from above
Where is the love

The hourglass in pieces, dashed to the wall

The Tower

[Gabriel]
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,

The Toy Master

[vocals by Alice Cooper and Tobias Sammet]

[Alice Cooper:]
Don't you be afraid,
come and step inside, take a look around
I'm your holy grail in your candy store to save you from the profound

One of a kind they say they've never seen before
Investigate the aberration, disorder in the core

I never tried to hide away or tried to keep your pace
You walk me to the slaughter with a smile upon your face

From the cradle to the madhouse, a twisted mind
There's no way out of this hell for twisted mind

Who's got the answer
Is this what I'm looking for
And who do I talk to
What do I have to explore

Attend to your god given duty
You'll be taking your heaven by force
How could you choose

You see the sun touch the horizon
You know the future awaits
And yours hides in the darkness

The stars are gonna line up in the night sky
I see what some will deny
As I follow the starkness

[Kiske]

A moment of glory
The blink of an eye and it's all gone
You hide in confinement
Dark is the cell that you call home

We pretend to be blind

[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...

"What Kind Of Love"

[Amanda Somerville:]
A dream of dwelling inside
Alone we come and alone we go
And who am I to know what I feel
Sympathy that's tearing me apart?
Attraction of the distance to a heart affinity?

I think of the days
I was thrilled by this road ahead
When the moment won over what was to come
Not afraid of the distance but the distance afraid of me
Everytime I made it there I found nothing
The distance was gone

Now, I don't wanna fade

Day after day I see her smile
If you could see her through my eyes
You wouldn't call her a little boy's fever dream

How can you tell my feelings wrong
How can't you see it's growing strong
Silicone angel you are my fantasy
