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?

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 So she spoke to me Never knew shed come back Now shes on my dreams From the faces in my dream From an evil memory As foretold in their prediction From the faces in my dream They are coming back for me As it was told in their prediction Is it just a dream Or just a wicked memory Now I see her coming on her besome The smell of brimstone And the mark of the beast From the open window Is it just a dream As shes pulling out the dagger to stab A thousand times into my hurting breast Wake up from the nightmare Screaming when I see her stand with the face of Jakob A bloody dagger in her hand From the faces in my dream From an evil memory As foretold in their prediction From the faces in my dream They are coming back for me As it was told in their prediction Is it just a dream Maybe his conscience Will send him a dream in his dreams If I only knew - oh Anna - If his soul also came free Or maybe if Jakob Would talk to the bailiff for you I cant come for you I dont know how many souls were set free To start a rebellion dont know if I'll still have to free Oh that faces in my dream From the faces in my dream From an evil memory As it was told in their prediction From the faces in my dream They are coming back for me As it was told in their prediction From the faces in my dream From an evil memory As it was told in their prediction
I remember it was long ago But when I think of her I feel 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 I don`t know what to do, I`m missing you so bad Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine Where are you now if you are there anywhere Please forgive me for how I decide But before I can come with rapid strides Don`t expect you`ll have to understand Jakob needs my helping hand First I have to go one out of two ways Which both are wrong and I`m to go So afraid, so ashamed So deranged but I know Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine Where are you now if you are there anywhere, anywhere to moonn6pence from shootingstar(papayeverte) Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine Where are you now if you are there anywhere, Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine Where are you now if you are there anywhere, Waiting for tomorrow, for a little ray of light Waiting for tomorrow just to see your smile again Take away my sorrow from a blistered heart of mine Where are you now if you are there
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 I know less than all but more than many who know lessI know it's keeping us strong [Gabriel:]And while they are pulling stringsWhile they are in command They're hanging on stringsAnd fate they do commend into another hand Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and ice They call nether world what we call a paradise Cought in neverland and their spirits cannot rise From the nether world, they can't see a paradise And the Roman whore, the masters and the slaves Raging on without they don't know Good intentions on their minds Can't ask for why they bow out [Bishop:]Lead us to Eden, judge those who bite off morethan they can chew to serve, without they askOr call in doubt the ask [Gabriel:]Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and iceThey call nether world what we call a paradise Cought in neverland and their spirits cannot riseFrom the nether world, they can't see a paradise [Solo: Henjo Richter]Cought in neverland in the place of many eyesMake it be what they are allowed to realize Cought in neverland, heat and fire, snow and ice...
(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 it's 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 it's 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
Coming from the wastelands Full of reason, common sense Where their principles are blocking minds And you don't understand
Giving you belief, You never touch, you never see But if you dare to try to grip it You're accused for heresy
Here I stand to find the truth And for ought I know You're the one to show me You can tell my spirit how to grow
No, the more I try The more confusion on my mind, And no matter how I try I feel my eyes seem to stay blind
No use in analysing, forget about alchemy Because the secret of all truth Is the quest for - and you'll feel
When you knock right on the door 'Forever locked' they say A little man will let you in, For you have always tried - to get inside
You're in quest for more to find the core Your journey still ain't over Your quest is your purpose, go on You're in quest for more to find the core, It will be -never- over Your quest is your purpose, go on...
You're in quest for more to find the core... Your journey still ain't over Your quest is your purpose, go on You're in quest for more to find the core, Your quest is your purpose, go on... You're in quest for more to find the core, It will be -never- over Your quest is your purpose, go on...
★ 아반타시아는 독일의 멜로딕 스피드 메탈 그룹 에드가이(Edguy)의 멤버 토비아스 사메트(Tobias Sammet)가 만든 프로젝트. ‘아반타시아’는 그가 인터뷰에서 밝혔듯이 아발론(Avalon)과 판타지아(Fantasia)의 조합이다. 이 하나의 합성어에는 전설에 등장하는 환상의 세계와 사람이면 누구나 가지고 있는 자신만의 영적 세계를 표현하겠다는 의지가 함축되어 있다.
(Gabriel:) Drawn by the sound of that wild raving pound No one has told me I gotta know all about hell and below They never told me
(Tree of Knowledge:) The quest for nexus. In your life and for all that's beyond...
(Gabriel:) When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me When I stare into the looking glass When I ask what he sees Then I'm asking for more and the more That I wanna know I know what I'll never know
(Tree of Knowledge:) From far away, from the state of decay You've come to wisdom Many've been led, into madness instead Toll of my kingdom The quest for nexus has brought Many man of genius to insanity
(Gabriel:) When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me When I stare into the looking glass when I ask what he sees
(Tree of Knowledge:) Then you're asking for more, and the more that you wanna know You know what you'll never know
(Solo: Henjo Richter)
(Tree of Knowledge:) As long as you long for the whole You can't get a part of at all. How proud would the buildings of Rome Look without all single stones
(Gabriel:) When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me... When I stare into the looking glass When I ask what he sees. Then I'm asking for more and the more That I wanna know, I know what I'll never know...
Mental Vigour's been right on the edge 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 now that I'm here I must go Into the morning light - illuminate the night Be the guide on our side - the Gnosis
No return - I will go, follow the call of my spirit No return - I must know all that I never could ask No return
No I still can't leave the world in here Soon I feel that I am gonna get her free But I've smelled at and I long for more Take me in, oh I beg, philosophy
Oh I got to know, more now so I must go on Into the morning light - illuminate the night Be the guide on our side - the Gnosis
No return - I will go, follow the call of my spirit No return - I must know all that I never could ask No return
[Elderane:]
No return - maybe you must pay Many've been in quest for truth Insanity has swallowed away No return - but I wish you all the best Go and face the tree of knowledge and be free
[Gabriel:] No return - I will go, follow the call of my spirit No return - I must know all that I never could ask
(Believers:) Fire falling from the sky Rage of god is coming down Armageddon's drawing nigh Sinner cry! Heathen die! Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria In the fiery rain Fire falling from the sky Rage of god is coming down Armageddon's drawing nigh Sinner cry! Heathen die! Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
Now the time has come, the end's begun And the only one will come
(Gabriel:) It has been foretold By the visions of the old And the madness in their eyes Said his angel will arise That's what they know: Holy Lord it's over, oh god We have done no wrong So we go where we belong To the neverending dream But for those who lived in sin They claim to know: Holy Lord it's over oh god
(Pope:) Hey Angel, can you tell me Will you lead us to the place Full of heat, in the fire For we only brought disgrace
(Lugaid:) He is not the one. If they only knew
(Bishop:) Hey Angel, will you take us To the judgement of his rage Hey will we die For we couldn't close the gate
(Lugaid:) To the knowledge as they have been told
(Gabriel:) I don't know how could I prove Nothing but the cloven hoof Reigning over them as well While they keep on fighting hell Babylon the scarlet whore has come
We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away
(Pope:) Redeemer, devastation Hope it only has been ment For the sin of the dreamer Who broke the law you'd sent
(Lugaid:) He is not the one. If they only knew
(Jakob:) Hey, don't know but I wondered: When we lost the seal again Maybe stoned by the incense Do we rise or just descent
(Lugaid:) He is not the one. If they only knew
(Gabriel:) I don't know how could I prove Nothing but the cloven hoof Reigning over them as well While they keep on fighting hell Babylon the scarlet whore has come
We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away We are the seven, judgement of heaven Why don't we know: We are the angels It's revelation, soul castigation Fire will burn us away
(Solo: Henjo Richter)
(Voice in the tower:) Woe to you longing for the wisdom Woe to you longing for the light All my sons bring me back what is mine Or you'll end burning in this night Woe to you longing for the wisdom Woe to you longing for the light All my sons bring me back what is mine Or you'll end burning in this night
(Solo: Timo Tolkki)
(Gabriel:) Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe Until I felt it 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
I had been alone till the madman came along With the knowledge and silver long beard He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free Helping me to find -oh- the mind and the soul They've been trying to hide it away... And he promised we'd help Anna if I'd help him to go all the way
(Lugaid:) Go all the way into the world of minds Open the gate and do not close behind Prevent them from hiding the light away Prevent them from telling us tales Or at the end of all they scare us with will be a million empty brains...
(Gabriel:) I could bring what you told me The seal they need to close the gate forever But still I haven't found a meaning Anna will we ever be together
(Regrin:)
You've been fighting for your soul And sometimes it takes a toll Hope one day you'll understand What it means to hold in hands What they call a fantasy It is nothing but a key To the world that now you're in That they call a wicked dream
(Elderane:) When you're walking on your own when you're broken and alone You may feel us from inside on the other side of life Ohohohoh...
(Gabriel:) I've been fighting for my soul And sometimes it takes a toll Hope one day we'll understand What it means to hold in hands What we call a fantasy But it's nothing but a key To the world that now I'm in That we call a wicked dream
Oh, walking on my own When I'm broken and alone I may feel you from inside From the other side of life
Staring into the lake watching forever sake, voices screaming in fear! Crying like a pasake in the fiery ways.
I can see all the sorrows and the suffering howl, an angel of pain! Centaur's taking Its toll ,live my life in Hades !!!
On the souls they left they're mortal , flame It fits beeing dead or not , all the deaf who did not heard the truth!
Get ready for the Brimstone , get the blistress on the ice. The power of the spirit was the final sacrifice. Get ready for the Brimstone , get the blistress on the ice. The power of the spirit was the final sacrifice!
Ouughaa!
Rhaaou!
Someone pulling me out to go back to my flesh, or I'm going insane! Neither wanted to roar in the fiery ways. Can't you see all the souls ,are we suffer and howl in our need to know pain?! Centaur is taking Its toll living life in Hades!
Rhaakh!

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.

Oh - Avantasia Oh - I hear the voices Oh - into the light Oh - Avantasia
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
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?
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

Oh - Avantasia Oh - I hear the voices Oh - into the light Oh - Avantasia...
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.
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.
