Tobias Sammet

We opened the door after midnight
To step into a timeless world
Angels and madness been flying around
A crack in the voice of reason
Something has taken over
Preventing us from turning around
Been sailing across the seas
We never arrived but always believed
And now for the first time time I feel
The port I was too blind to see
929 - Just a number at sundown
A room with a view
929 - A night to remember
929 - I been reaching out
I been stumbling around
929 - I'm finally home
Been standing there with a suitcase
Surroundings fighting to get out
Send it off to the Lost-And-Never-Found
Maybe I don't have my head on straight
Maybe I'll lose it tomorrow
Preventing me from turning around
Been sailing across the seas
Up in the wind
Plowing through grief
And now for the first time I see
The port I was too blind to see
929 - A number at sundown
A room with a view
929 - A night to remember
929 - I been reaching out
I been stumbling around
929 - I'm finally home

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!

Babylon
by Edguy



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 prevend me from
raising towers in 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'll have to learn:
You are you and I am I!!!

Ooohhh...

Oh yeah...

and like the vision of my urge to salvation told me,
I built up a tower to widen my horizon, whatever they might say

You do not know, and you don't care
And you may never learn
I made approaches, you gave me teeth
And got my open heart

I'm paid for sassing, that's what you say
Don't get the essential point
What it came down to, was you and good nothing
Here's to the wicked and here's to the odd

You got your chance going down the drain,
You're dumping
The catch of the century
You've got your chance,
But you're much too vain to take it
The catch of the century

Your bodies waiting, cause all the world is already spoken for a host of rivals, I'm out for boogeying and I'll be forever more
You spread all around, sniff while I'm high, I'm on the road again
I'm going down with flying colors, before I go down on someone else

You got your chance goin' on my train, you're dumping
The catch of the century
And lady luck's got her ass in pain, you're wasting
The catch of the century
You got your chance goin' on my train, you're dump
The catch of the century

"I tell you, one day you will regret it
I will sell millions of records
I?m gonna have hundreds of women
Seven, seven Ferraris!
A private jet!
A helicopter license!
I'm gonna be the Formula One world champion!
I?m gonna have a big house in Hollywood Hills!
And you will be nothing
Nothing! Nothing! You will be nothing but nothing!
AAAAAHHH! AAAAAHHH! YOU! NOTHING! NOTHING, YOU'RE NOTHING!
HELICOPTER!"

"Tobi, so ist es gut?"

"Gut?"

> No rules, no pain, no fear and no reason
Full moon, we're insane
Two time and one big treason
There is fire in the air tonight
A wicked sensation
Stick waving, dick waving
Trial-run of procreation
Lady don't you leave us in a mess
Take the bow and shove it up your ass
(Chorus)
Go die or rock tonight
No tradeoff - there's just dead or rock
Go die or rock tonight
No tradeoff - there's just dead or rock
She reigns and goes down, your muse in prudery
Encaged, enslaved, depressed and shaved
Austerity
We're caviar to the general
Beyond your sight
Rape your imagination
Kicking up a row tonight
Oh we have come to make a mess
Kiss the baton and then shove it up your ass
(Chorus)
Don't need no sympathy
Don't need to play by the rules
Go down in ecstasy, go down on you
(Chorus)

Is it really the treasure of gold Or the dance on the rainbow itself Bound to a track Painting over the cracks In his dreams they'd put up on the shelf Little wind up soldier With a ball and chain Got destinations engraved on your mind Now you don't care as long As you don't make it there You wanna fly but not arise Calling you, calling you You are the one to hear them Calling you, calling you Calling you, calling you And your daddy don't approve And when no-one's awake anymore He paints a picture of a strange looking fly From a distant world You light and lo and behold It's coming alive Calling you, calling you You always hear them speak Derring do, derring do Calling you, calling you From a distant burning star refrain: You wanna fly, so you drag on flies Drag on dragonflies From a suffocating room, on a dragonfly You're riding high when you nasalize What you pulverize Make your day and dream away on a dragonfly Mayday mayday I ain't fond of smoking The buzzer known in dire straits Selfless without intention Too late to intermediate Smoking kills Calling you, calling you You are the one two three four Calling you, calling you Calling you, calling you And your daddy don't approve refrain We're getting high on a dragonfly

I saw her coming in high heels
moving like a queen
A little sweet angel but deep underneath
a mean machine

You're lying in wait to make me a fool
you want me to bite
I'm gonna take the bait and the hunter for afters
I'll take you for a ride

I don't wanna play no games
cause I'm a bad bad boy-all around
Let me be your Titanic before you know what's going on
I may go down..

Fucking with fire-I'm coming to rock
got my rocket on fire and I take what I want
Fucking with fire-loaded and cocked
you never miss it until you've begun
with the hair force one

Don't make no mistakes,don't you miss out
on the hell of a time
I'm a real go-getter and there's no doubt
that down the line

I know what you want and I know what you need
your secret desire got the gloves of a man
the hands of a beast
and my pants on fire

And I don't wanna play no games
cause I'm a nasty bad boy-all around, around
Let me be your Titanic, before you know what's going on
I'm going down...

Fucking..

What do you think when you spit in my face
How does if feel to accuse and to haze
Now look at me, I’m not one of your kind

And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way

We don’t wanna be like you
Don’t you get that King Of Fools
We don’t mind your life is trite
You are the King Of Fools.

We are never gonna be like you
We don’t follow - King of fools
You’re the blind to lead the blind

And I walk the wicked way

You feel at ease as you flock with the masses
What do you see with your heads in their asses
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I am proud to be

And walk the wicked way

We don’t wanna be like you
Don’t you get that King Of Fools
We don’t mind your life is trite
You are the King Of Fools.

We are never gonna be like you
We don’t follow - King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind oh
...

We don’t wanna be like you
Don’t you get that King Of Fools
We don’t mind your life is trite
You are the King Of Fools.

We are never gonna be like you
We don’t follow - King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind

You are the King of Fools!

Oh if only Brazil was not so far
Far away I would swim or walk or ride
But never ever fly
But all the noise of the maniacs there
The seat on my face it's worth to bear
But I don't wanna bounce and die

But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress
I close my eyes, I know what I would go for
Stewardess before the crash

Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream

I'm at you disposal
I gotta get up to see what you ain't gotta hide
Wheeling junk along the aisle
Keep your seat belt fastened
You're whipping with an iron voice
You command
Uh mistress I am in your hands

And when she asks me what I'd like to eat
I realise the domina feels the same
And I reply... What about your pie?

Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream

Lavatory love machine
No broken wings to stop me stream
Lavatory love machine
Honey do you like the way I cream?!

Now if I gotta die
I'll have been stiff and smiling till the crash
Let them know I've been alive
Till I made my final splash

Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
Oh~

Don't hear those scary noises
From the turbine when you scream

Lavatory love machine
No broken wings to stop me stream
Lavatory love machine
Honey do you like the way I cream?!

MINISTRY OF SAINTS
(Music & Lyrics: Tobias Sammet)

When the lights go down you feel it come alive
Driven by the dread of love that never passes by
When the night unfolds a veil across the day
Waiting for the flood to come to wash the stains away

Look at the clouded sky
Poisoned rain, angels cry
Cracks show in the seal

Tonite a thousand angels fall
Heaven’s up against the wall
Changes holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we’ll be gone
The ministry of saints

You’re afraid to disappear beneath the waves
Bread and circus, bread and wine
They rain on your parade
Round and round and round
You’re spinning like a wheel
Crying for redemption you break the seventh seal

We’re cleansing your soul from sin
Plead for you, angels sing
We’re taking pride of place

Tonite a thousand angels fall
Heaven’s up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we’ll be gone
The ministry of saints

Tonite a thousand angels fall
Heaven’s up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we’ll be gone
The ministry of saints

Tonite a thousand angels fall
Heaven’s up against the wall
And change is holding sway
We can make you anyone
By the morning we’ll be gone
The ministry of saints

> Silence - it ain't the kill but the thrill of the chase
Same old story, same old song
Only the names have changed
Fair warning - I could have read your mind in time
By the look in your eyes
Like diamonds turning to ashes
Ties frayed and I missed your signs
Now I can't get over you
Cannot get under somebody else
I close my eyes...
(Chorus)
When all I see is you, you came to drain my life away
But it takes nine lives til it's over
All I see is you, you came to drain my love away
But I got nine - I got nine lives til it's over
All my supplications gone unheard
Your head in my crotch has turned to a boot
But you won't hear a word
Salvation - I ride into nowhere and out of nowhere I come
The twinge in your brain, the pang of regret
Don't mess with no son of a gun
I'm gonna get over this
Gotta get under somebody else
I close my eyes...
(Chorus)

Too much time to get lost in the maze
Tell me, isn't that strange?
You bleed to get there, you were ready
You were ready, to be a bird in a golden cage

Sweat is breaking on my brow
Where's the freak to ease my pain?
The room is dark and big and empty
Silence drivin' me insane

Night has fallen, demons laughing
Waiting for the light of day
Here's the land of milk and honey
There you got the price to pay

Searching for shelter
Riding the pendelum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher
What a pure desire
Swinging back towards the edge

When I drift away killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay, living sacrifice
I set off to Heaven, and found bedlam

There's a part of me that has not been sold
Save me please, embrace me, hold me
And kiss my bleeding soul

You can see below the creature
Pounding, sitting in my neck
If you'd see inside my head
You surely wouldn't turn your back on me

I'm looking for shelter, riding the pendelum to paradise
As I'm reaching higher, what a pure desire
Swinging back towards the abyss

When I drift away killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay, living sacrifice
I set off to Heaven, and found bedlam

Nothing remains the same, but still I hear those voices
Nothing remains the same, where am I gonna go?
Is it my destination, or just a fake temptation, baby?
I remember home, when demons came and I got swept away
From me

When I drift away killing sacrifice
Here I go insane
What a price to pay, living sacrifice
I set off to Heaven, and found bedlam

> Hey there pal won't you gimme an ear
Gimme your everything and keep your fear
Godly voices telling me what to do
They're out for your palpitation
Then leave you to your desperation
Take you and tie you and run over you
There's no resistance to the cry of the Sirens
Calling you - a razor edge affair
You close your eyes boy
She tears your lids in two
Never even try to miss she's there
And then when the time pieces shatter
I am baptized by the attar
Right into heaven's door
Sex fire religion
Visionary position
Angel in your temple of pleasure
Sex fire religion
I been granted admission
Angel to your temple of love
Wicked wild m'am with a bag full of tricks
And up shit creek there I'm stuck in a fix
Strikes like a bolt from the blue
The Siren baits with lubrication
Then she steals your habitation
Rides you and ties you and runs you
Maybe she don't know love
But she knows how to make it
Divinity is running down her skin
In the city of evil we touch the sky
Let the ride to the Paradise begin
And then when the time pieces shatter
I am baptized by the attar
Kick down into the pie
Sex fire religion
Visionary position
Angel in your temple of pleasure
Sex fire religion
I been granted admission
Angel to your temple of love
Sex fire religion
Visionary position
Angel in your temple of pleasure
Sex fire religion
I been granted admission
Angel to your temple of love

Welcome to this wonderworld
Everybody take your sledges
Winterland Plutocracy
Down the slope don't fear the hedges

Everybody in their box
Waiting under rights of action
Raise your heads and hold your breath
I can't stand your putrefaction

I can smell your brain decay
As you look down at the stage and
Drive me mad and then insane
Welcome to the show

You've been waiting for the one
To bring you joy and ecstasy
And you've been waiting for a song
And you demand to feel the tragedy

But when it's right out of control
And it's not your song anymore
And you are ready to forget
The truth that you'd been asking for

I'm not afraid to sacrifice
And I don't care bout your advice
As I spread my wings and fly

No love - it's pain you've come to feed
In mental strain I crawl and bleed
You make me please

Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever roaming
Every starless night
You will hear the cries

You'll never get:
I'll never be the one that you want me to be
And all the treasures that you hold
All your diamond rings and gold
All your flake and look and tongue
I have tried and it was wrong

You tried to push me up a notch
But all I made was an itchy crotch



Fornication, ass galore
I wanted love and I want more
Muckrakers waiting for the prey
Muckrakers want me to obey
But you will never own me
Though you pay

This opera is haunted they will say
That's where they've driven the light insane

Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever roaming
Every starless night
You will hear the cries
Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever you'll hear it scream

In a cold winter night I had a vision
Taking me by my hand
Leading me to the door
To rescue me from the wastelands

The glance of the shining ivories
A world that they can't understand
Out of sound, out of reason
The voice of their laughter was gone

Taken away, time for a change
I'm walking over
Flying away, flying away
Dying into another world
Pure and divine
And the laughter dies

Welcome to this wonderworld
Everybody take your sledges
Winterland Plutocracy
Down the slope don't fear the hedges

Forever roaming
You will hear it scream
The cries of Speedhoven
Forever roaming...

City lights are calling - slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fastlane - Mama let us waste no time
Devil in the doorway - selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game

And we never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong

Way too long I've tried to be what I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me
I ain't talking about romance
you may fiddle I may dance
Anyway it's just a game we play

And we never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong

You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight..

Cry for love - We're superheroes
We are back where we belong

And we never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong

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

> I can't figure the Lord down in funereal gravity
One finishing touch and the creature is coming alive
As I kneel down and pray
I know God is watching over me
Is He pissing Himself
When He's knocking me out of my stride
And on day number eight
When the sun is about to go down
Here we go, what a show
What a nose for blow
(Chorus)
You're alive, said the maker and smiled at the aardvark
You're divine by the grace of the master above
You're alive, said the maker and smiled at the aardvark
You're divine by the grace of the master above
Hey Frankenstein, are you the one I think you are?
(Godfather!) If you are divine then we are bizarre
I hear you laughing from the loge above
At my expense for your entertainment
Hey Lord above, why don't your armies ever smile?
(Godfather!) Why don't they ever dress in your style?
And never share the humor that you surely have
Creating me for your entertainment
Why do they have to get married
Before they do what they do?
Every day, any way
When there's Hell to pay
(Chorus)
We hold our hands afraid of what we've done
Fear is the key to you - thy Kingdom Come
You shake your head and have another wine
Don't you almost die laughing wondering why?
Running in the dust, running in the dust
Afraid of the hail stones cold as ice
Running in the dust, running in the dust
Straight to the wastelands
We'll never read your signs
Running in the dust, running in the dust
Afraid of tomorrow
Afraid of what we've done
Running in the dust, running in the dust
You're the disciples of the big bad wolf
(Chorus)
You're alive, oh, you're alive
You're alive, the pride of creation
Oh, you're the pride of creation
Yes you are!
Oh, you're the pride of creation

Walking a lonely road in the dark A scent of rain Under wings of a clouded sky Is it a losing game Running after pictures Slowly slipping away Trying to take hold of a memory Do you remember the days when forever Had only just begun You reach for the distance And when you arrive the distance is gone Already gone Withered roses in the rear view mirror Fade away and rain came late Was it all worth it When it's all been proven just an illusion A distant memory for Tomorrow in the palm of our hands What's gonna be left but a thorn without roses Tomorrow in the palm of our hands We're gonna take hold of a thorn Of a thorn without a rose Laid out a hedge of thorns around my heart Pricking your fingers Our reasons and soul Tearing you and me apart Bed of roses in the rear view mirror It turns to thorns To a bed of thorns I'd never known that dying embers Would hurt more than the blazing fire we'd lit Tomorrow in the palm of our hands What's gonna be left but a thorn without roses Tomorrow in the palm of our hands We're gonna take hold of a thorn without a rose Why do you think that you have lost There ain't nobody who has not It ain't right what I feel I'll been begging on my knees For the sun to rise again - yeah Four yours and mine Another time

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

You gotta know That there ain't always Words of reason to explain With those words my heart is falling silent To let me slowly go insane God tell me why your voice ran dry And left me dreaming black [Chorus:] Dying angels, Dying angels Feeling takes a gun to fire Reason from a lightening sky Dying angels, dying angels I'm agonizing over dreams Strangled by a feeling I wake up dreaming black A million single islands drift apart And I'm losing ground The more I feel the less I know Strait-jacket-hero inward bound God tell me why your voice ran dry And left me dreaming black [Chorus 2x] I wake up dreaming Another hero - a dying hero Another hero - a dying hero

I am the master of the game
that's made a fool of you
I'm watching from the highest tower
You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony
And I have got the power
You better taste - they call it life: my special area
I'm breeding winners over there
Ain't it a sin to turn your back
on what you're given
It's time to take your share
God left me for dead - I've been turning my head
Away from the living - the time has come
To gamble for gain - To tear down the gate
And see what's inside

We rock the ball
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball
I'm facing my pain
With a rage and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: Another angel down

We'll see a black hole will be left up in the starry sky
We gotta mourn another angel
If I am just a light descending to caducity
It's still so far away
There's no tomorrow
I don't remember yesterday
I'm just living for tonight
And all the love I'm not gonna waste no more
I won't spit what's divine
They left you for dead - turning your head
Away form the living - from flesh and blood
You've got the draw and desire to claw
For fortune and fame

We rock the ball
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down

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

Even when you're around
Still I'm out of sight, out of sound
In your world I'm out of place

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

You're like a ghost that I can't let go
You follow every step that I take
Never thought someone could be too close to you
Now across the street is miles away

And now I might as well
Be the man on the moon
I am watching but you don't seem aware

But I won't be around
I'll be out of sight, out of sound
Someone's gonna wait, somewhere

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

(Solo)

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
Somebody carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

Carry me over now

[Tobias Sammet:]
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
[Bob Catley:]
I've seen them set off to the Promised Land
Escaping from the hurtings they don't understand
A sense of satisfaction on account of pristine tears
She's crying just little more just like you
No, oh, no, no
[Chorus:]
Why don't you cry, cry a little over me?
Why don't you lie?
Can't you tell me that I am hard to deny?
Can't you see what I am going through?
Cry just a little for me, oh, girl, a little for me
[Bob Catley:]
Afraid to give away what you keep inside
There's a ghost in your mirror every lonesome night
All those nights are getting colder
and your heart is a frozen wound
Don't you wonder who'll be there when you awake?
No, oh
[Chorus x2]

I dropped off in the shadows
the lead of tragedy
I open my eyes - blind by the spotlight
And what do I see?

Pushed by ambition
you've been granted admission
to the hall of acclaim
She denied you affection
Now listen the whole world
is screaming your name

I will forget her, but I won't forgive
The curtain has fallen
Behold the messiah

Riding high
The devil on the crest
For all the world to see - forevermore
I am I - the devil in the belfry
I'll be glorified - forevermore

Is it a sin to learn to be able
to live without love?
And is it a sin to put love under will
and control from above?

Devil in my fingers - pleasure at my feet
Mind out of sight
The shadow I'll cast shall darken her world
And ghost her at night

With each song you'll die a little for me
It won't leave a scar
Cause I've drawn the curtain

Riding high
The devil on the crest
For all the world to see - forevermore
I am I - the devil in the belfry
I'll be glorified - forevermore

Into the opera like moths to the flame
Spellbind their senses to follow the hero

Riding high
The devil on the crest
For all the world to see - forevermore
I am I - the devil in the belfry
I'll be glorified - forevermore

(vocals by Tobias Sammet and Oliver Hartmann)

No one around to hear your cries
No one there to even realize you grit your teeth
What are you afraid to lose when you're left alone
I'm the one to make you anything you wanna be

Never broke the silence
Never broke the ice
No more waiting
I gotta wipe her off my mind
Loving her is dying
Loving her is pain
Babylon I'm coming
Ready for the fray

I don't believe in your love
Tread on this bed of roses
I don't believe in your love
Don't give a fuck for roses

Don't give damn for roses, no, no, no

You've been standing on the edge
Lost between the worlds of agony and ecstasy
Take your share boy straightaway
It's all heavensent
She won't care:
They call their love divine but it's all evil

Loving you was bleeding
So I had to break away
Darkness' stretching out it's hand
To save me from your sway
'cause loving you was wasting
Loving you was pain
Now Angel of temptation
Open up the gate

I don't believe in your love
Tread on this bed of roses
I don't believe in your love
Don't give a fuck for roses

Loving you was bleeding
So I had to break away
Darkness' stretching out it's hand
To save me from your sway
'cause loving you was wasting
Loving you was pain
Now Angel of temptation
Open up the gate
'cause loving you was wasting,

I don't believe in your love
Tread on this bed of roses
I don't believe in your love
Don't give a fuck for roses

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?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

I'm crawling down
The doorway to the badlands
And kicking down

Are you heard: it's to the black
and all the damage
fading in the oblivion mirror
When the demons
are calling me, their dragging me away

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?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Lost in space
lost in time
Lost in space
Lost in Time
Lost in Space

How could I know, how could i know
How could I know, How could I know
That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever

How could I now, how could I see
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Forever...

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 never belonged to the tribe.
And my sun is calling me to this ship of fools.

Been dying for a sign
When faith has been on the line
When you find your love on wasted grounds
You're taking to the sound
it's shelter from the rain

No return from the way I've chosen
Cast away chasing rainbows
Condemned the lie,
How could I
Make a belief, I am blind

We create by intuition,
Called it fate
The tongue of fate is in our soul
Feel it resound,
Carry you over the grime
All that's left is a sun
Giving shelter from the rain

Been dying for a sign
When faith has been on the line
When I find my love on wasted grounds
I'm taking to the sound
it's shelter from the rain

It's a dark and stormy night
In it fully what it takes
To read the signs
But I am always there
I am the footprints to your right
Man overlooks when running high
Young and blind

In your darkest lonely night
Heed your voice to take you higher
Take you higher

As you stumble through the ruins,
Let the spirit take you higher
And a song

Oh, and a song

I can hear a song

Dying for a sign
When faith has been on the line
When you find your love on wasted grounds
You're taking to the sound
it's shelter from the rain

Been dying for a sign
When faith has been on the line
When I find my love on wasted grounds
I'm taking to the sound
it's shelter from the rain

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
To find someone to contemplate

There's a voice and a million answers
To the questions I don't ask
A demon ?I've got to contain
When I'm walking through the fen
Gonna deep into the black
There are whispers that I can't restrain

Don't give in

Rise to fame ?time will come
Make your claim ?time has come
For the crow who fly away

So you're an angel meant to walk down here
And you believe it's all divine
And you don't play by all those temporal rules
Watch the world begin to die

Alright ?when the lamb's been torn to pieces,
I've been crashing from the sky
Fallen to care for the pray, they put a spoke right in your wheel
I'm the one to dare the weak, to push you all over the pain
You give in ?oh

I close my eyes and I see what's coming my way
He's got treasure in his eyes that he's gonna turn to clay

Hm, I'm a stranger, I'm a changer and I'm danger...
Maybe

Fallen angel - waiting for the prey
The devil has come to take a maimed away
Penetration of the twisted mind
The evil is out for the weak and blind

I can feel it in your voice
Ever so sweet, no
Do I really have a choice? No, no, no!

Oh, you burn your feet on unholy ground
You roam the barren wicked plains abound
In evil eyes and evil speak
About it all your evil freaks

When you say it's all divine and meant to be
What about your flesh and blood and defires like me?

Their evil eyes are looking down on you
And those who don't are losing sight of you
Face the rage to chase away
The specter of disgrace and shame

Withered roses dying on the ledge
A withered dreamer standing on the edge
You dream of love but you wake up to pain
You're better off to join in my game

Then she'll better off to cry contrite tears
One day she'll wonder why she had to let you disappear,

Rise to fame ?your time has come
Time will come to take the sun
Make your claim - you're drawn to the sound
Time has come ?you're leaving ground

Rise to fame - the flight of the crow
Time will come - cross the line
Your time has come - for the crow to fly away

It's a flight to hell
Can you hear the bell
The devil has come
To take your soul away
A flight to hell - alright

I'm a stranger
I'm a changer
And I'm danger
Fallen angel
Waiting for the prey

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
they used to dream in only black and white
can't you hear them scream, drowning in the tide

out in the cold, i see water frozen in their eyes

[vocals by Tobias Sammet and Roy Khan]

[Roy Khan:]
One of a kind they say they've never seen before
Investigate the aberration, disorder in the core
[Tobias Sammet:]
I never tried to hide away or tried to keep your pace
You walk me to the slaughter with a smile upon your face

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

[Roy Khan:]
You've come to see the healer, so don't you be afraid
They call me tranquilizer, I'm here to isolate
We paint in black and white and you're the dirty in between
Monstrosity of nature, a virulent disease

[Chorus]

Can't you see, can't you see
That you are not like anyone?
You'll never see through anyone else's eyes
And who am I to certify the sanity of a twisted mind
A victim of perception, a twisted mind

[x2]
Missprizing ?chastising
Subhuman ?fragmentizing
Sensation ?aberration
Repulsive ?tantalizing

[x2]
From the cradle to the madhouse, a twisted mind
There's no way out of this hell for twisted mind

There's no way out [x6]

[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?

What if love will leave your heart an open sore
And I can't reveal what even I don't know?
The love you feel you waste away on me
What kind of love will let us bleed away?
No kind of love will make us bleed away

[Tobias Sammet:]
If only you could be the one to take a look inside
I feel so incomplete
A broken man in need of mother love
I'm suffering in silence and no one wants to see
The only god is watching as I bleed
The star above ?my matching piece

[Amanda Somerville:]
Oh, this love will leave your heart an open sore
And I can't reveal what even I don't know
This love you feel you waste away on me
What kind of love will let us bleed away?
No kind of love will make us bleed away

[Tobias Sammet:]
Feel - that's all you gotta do
And it will heal you
Feel the pain to lead you home to peace of mind
Dwell inside
Feel - that's all you gotta do
And it will heal the wound
Feel ?there will be a song for peace of mind
Dwell inside

I am the master of the game
that's made a fool of you
I'm watching from the highest tower
You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony
And I have got the power
You better taste - they call it life: my special area
I'm breeding winners over there
Ain't it a sin to turn your back
on what you're given
It's time to take your share
God left me for dead - I've been turning my head
Away from the living - the time has come
To gamble for gain - To tear down the gate
And see what's inside

We rock the ball
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball
I'm facing my pain
With a rage and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: Another angel down

We'll see a black hole will be left up in the starry sky
We gotta mourn another angel
If I am just a light descending to caducity
It's still so far away
There's no tomorrow
I don't remember yesterday
I'm just living for tonight
And all the love I'm not gonna waste no more
I won't spit what's divine
They left you for dead - turning your head
Away form the living - from flesh and blood
You've got the draw and desire to claw
For fortune and fame

We rock the ball
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball
I'm facing my pain
With a rage and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: Another angel down

Don't go wasting your emotion
당신의 감정을 다른 곳에 허비하지 말아주셈
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
i wasn't jealous before we met
당신을 만나기 전에는 내게 질투란 없었어요
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
그렇지만 이젠 모든 여자들이 적으로 보여요
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
그래요 난 소유욕이 강해요, 좋지 않다는걸 알죠
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
난 담배 피우는 것 말고는 뭐 흠잡을 데가 없는 여자죠
But now it isn't true Now everything is new
그런데 이젠 담배도 안펴요 모든게 변했어요
And all I've learned has overturned I beg of you
내가 알고 있던 모든게 뒤죽박죽이 되었어요
Don't go wasting your emotion
당신의 감정을 다른 곳에 허비하지 말아줘요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
It was like shooting a sitting duck
난 당신에게 너무나도 무력하게 빠져들었죠
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
잠깐 동안의 야기와 미소로 난 당신에게 빠지게 되었어요
I still don't know what you've done with me
나한테 도대체 어떻게 한 거에요
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
조신한 여자가 이렇게 쉽사리 빠져들다니
I feel a kind of fear
당신이 곁에 없을땐 두렵기 조차하네요
When I don't have you near Unsatisfied,
뭔가 불만스럽고 자존심도 버릴 지경이에요
I skip my pride I beg you dear
당신에게 애원해요
Don't go wasting your emotion.
당신의 감정을 다른 곳에 허비하지 말아줘요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
Don't go sharing your devotion
당신의 열정적인 사랑을 다른여자에겐 주지마요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
I've had a few little love affairs
예전에도 몇 번 사랑에 빠진적 있었죠
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
모두 오래가지 못했고, 최근엔 그런 일도 없었어요
I used to think that was sensible
그게 잘하는 거라고 생각했었는데
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
오히려 현실을 더 이해할 수 없게 만들어요
'Cause everything is new And everything is you
모든게 변했기 때문이죠 당신이 그 원인이에요
And all I've learned has overturned What can I do
내가 알고 있던 모든게 뒤죽박죽이 되었어요 어찌해야할까요
Don't go wasting your emotion
당신의 감정을 다른 곳에 허비하지 말아줘요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
Don't go sharing your devotion
당신의 열정적인 사랑을 다른 여자에겐 주지마요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
Don't go wasting your emotion
당신의 감정을 다른 곳에 허비하지 말아줘요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요
Don't go sharing your devotion
당신의 열정적인 사랑을 다른 여자에겐 주지마요
Lay all your love on me
당신의 모든 사랑을 나에게만 주세요

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?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

I'm crawling down
The doorway to the badlands
And kicking down

Are you heard: it's to the black
and all the damage
fading in the oblivion mirror
When the demons
are calling me, their dragging me away

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?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Lost in space
lost in time
Lost in space
Lost in Time
Lost in Space

How could I know, how could i know
How could I know, How could I know
That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever

How could I now, how could I see
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Forever...

Traveling this dark world, leaving light behind
seeing things I shouldn?t see
new eyes I got to find
Mars Venus and stars shaking
their heads at me
No more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky

Hey world look out I'm coming
Friends pass me by and you saw me humming
Mars Venus and stars shaking
their heads at me
No more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky
Tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky

The smile on his face turn me to stone
The words that he spoke
wouldn't leave me alone
Mars Venus and stars
shaking their heads at me
No more todays tonight I'll be riding the sky
Tonight ride the sky, tonight ride the sky,

Tonight ride the sky
Tonight ride the sky

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 future is over
Tomorrow's been slipping away
And nothing remains

He'd know it won't last forever
She'd go ahead for a while

When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You know the story ain't over

When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You feel the story ain't over

Where is the candle in this lonesome night?
Angel why are you so wayward
Abandoning me, try my belief

Where life is not words
and tongue is not answers
And we only can't see a reason
why would it mean
that it's not meant to be

He'd know it won't last forever
She'd go ahead for a while

When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You know the story ain't over

When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You feel the story ain't over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

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
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream

Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die

Oh help me God
Please help me
