Open my eyes and see my bleeding wounded hands...
Feeling the pair too hard to stand, to stand
Cought in the ? now and here ?
While they are on the way
Hiding imagination, leading us astray...
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind
Sanity can be the toll
Leading to the core of your soul
WE ARE THE POWER INSIDE, WE BRING YOU FANTASY
WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT AND DREAMS,
GNOSIS AND LIFE AVANTASIA!
WE ARE THE POWER INSIDE, WE BRING YOU FANTASY
WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT AND DREAMS,
GNOSIS AND LIFE AVANTASIA!
AVANTASIA...
Walking along the icy gallery of pain
Tell me now: what can keep the flame alive?
Lack of imagination-raising up the tower
Where they hold our souls
To take away the power
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind
Sanity can be the toll
Leading to the core of your soul
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!
WE ARE THE POWER INSIDE, WE BRING YOU FANTASY
WE ARE THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT AND DREAMS,
GNOSIS AND LIFE AVANTASIA!
Oh-Avantasia-oh
Oh-I hear the voices-oh-yeah...
Oh-into the light-into the light...
Oh-Avantasia-oh...
