The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Avantasia

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Avantasia Lyrics

[Tobias Sammet]
For too long now I've been
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me

[Ronnie Atkins]
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
From the world that's been...

[Jorn Lande]
...spinning around you, with and without you
Sedating, unkind

Show you the way
Deliver and faint!
Relish to stand in line!

[Tobi & Ronnie]
Oh

[Tobias Sammet]
I guess you'll find no one to blame
We're tied to the rules of someone else's game

[Ronnie Atkins]
Try to fly, flap your wings
As you look to the night sky
A gilded cage in the twilight

[Jorn Lande]
You dance on a wire
[Tobias Sammet]
See the piper at the gates of dawn
[Jorn Lande]
Been caught in the mire
[Tobias Sammet]
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

[Jorn Lande]
Oh, dance on the wire
To the breeze that carries change
Tonight you will see the Great Pan in the stars
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear

[Tobi & Ronnie]
Oh

[Tobias Sammet]
For quite a while I have been
The one that I thought I was happy to be

Masquerade, at least a shadow play
No one's gonna see...

[Eric Martin]
...behind the fascade, those rallying calls
You're afraid to awake

Look at the sky, you can't defy
[Tobias Sammet]
The dark that is calling your name

[Jorn Lande]
You're blind by the beauty around
You're numb by the touch
And you're deaf to the sound
[Tobias Sammet]
Of the sweet-smelling
Bright melody of the moonlight
That devours the bars in the twilight

[Ronnie Atkins]
You dance on a wire
[Tobias Sammet]
See the piper at the gates of dawn
[Ronnie Atkins]
Been caught in the mire
[Tobias Sammet]
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh

[Ronnie Atkins]
Dance on the wire
[Tobias Sammet]
To the breeze that carries change tonight
[Ronnie Atkins]
You will see the Great Pan in the stars
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear

[Jorn Lande]
Now open your eyes, ain't it what you've been wanting
[Tobias Sammet]
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds

[Bob Catley]
Endure what you're in for, you're meant to be longing
King of the wave, now keep flailing about

[Jorn Lande]
We're the dream the inhabits the waking old world
[Eric Martin]
We're right here, we're the doorway to guide you across

[Geoff Tate]
Exposed to the spirits that you're meant to be citing
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong

[Ronnie Atkins]
We're the breath you don't catch
We're the great expectations
You ain't measured up to on the beautiful side

[Eric Martin]
We're the promise not kept - bred in desolation
[Bob Catley]
We're the will of the wisp - demerged from the light

[Tobias Sammet]
Get me out of here
Take me away
Take me
Take me
Take me away
Take me away


[Ronnie Atkins]
Dance on the wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
[Tobias Sammet]
Now you're reaching for the stars

You dance on a wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Been caught in the mire
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
[Jorn Lande]
Dance on the wire
[Tobias Sammet]
To the breeze that carries change - tonight
[Jorn Lande]
You will see, the Great Pan in the stars
[Tobias Sammet]
The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near
