The Tower Songtext

von Avantasia

[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.

Oh oh where do I go? Oh yeah yeah...

Never had a flesh and blood like this before
Got a new appearance when I passed the door
Is it a dream I am within? 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 Ohhhohohh
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Ohhhohohh

Never been a fighter, never been a man
But I must help Vandroiy, he's my only friend
Nowhere to go and I know that he knows how
We will get her out...

Magic of transcendence
Brought me to this place
Vandroiy in reality leads me on my race
Told me to bring back the seal
But still I don't know where I shall go

[Lugaid]

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

[Elderane]

Men have good intentions
On their way to the light
But some of them are venal
And end up in the night
Maybe it's better for you, mankind,
Not to know what's going on

[Gabriel]

Sometimes we must go
Ways that seem to be wrong
What a kind of life: Freedom in flesh,
Shackles on your mind...

[Lugaid]

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.
Ah...

[Voice of the tower]

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!

[Pope]

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?

[Lugaid]

I realize...

[All]

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?

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?

[Solo: Jens]

[Lugaid]

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
Find out the secrets behind
Go all the way to the tower
Find out the name of the one
Who reigns from inside.

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
Of the one...

[Jakob]
Oh, how could the stranger steal the seal away?
Was it my fault?
Or was it no one's fault at all?

At all...
