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!
