Against the Wind

[Verse 1: Tobias Sammet] Here I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea Oh, I delve into the vault Of my mind, a memory When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak Paling crescent in the sky Pouring down its fading beam [Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet] I stand here all alone I came here on my own To reginite the inner blaze [Chorus: Tobias Sammet & Kenny Leckremo] Against the wind, against the grain Open visor - arrows rain I'm me and I do it my way Don't you tell me what to be Through my eyes you cannot see I'm me and I'm going my way Against the wind I'm going my way [Verse 2: Kenny Leckremo] I've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate I've seen scarily faceless things Where they scream, but never hear Scraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed The enticer never sleeps Breathing doubt into your ear [Pre-Chorus: Kenny Leckremo] I stand here all alone I came here on my own And you will not take hold on my creed [Chorus: Tobias Sammet & Kenny Leckremo] Against the wind, against the grain Open visor - arrows rain I'm me and I do it my way Don't you tell me what to be Through my eyes you cannot see I am me and I'm going my way Against the wind I'm going my way [Bridge: Tobias Sammet, Tobias Sammet & Kenny Leckremo] And if you don't like what I do Then it's not made for you And if you get exasperated With what I will, or I may, or I say - it's my way! [Guitar Solo: Sascha Paeth] [Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet] A thousand stars melt with the sea Elysian fields reveal to me This is the air I need to breathe - oh! [Chorus: Tobias Sammet & Kenny Leckremo] Against the wind, against the grain Open visor - arrows rain I am me and I do it my way Don't you tell me what to be Through my eyes you cannot see I'm me and I'm going my way Against the wind I'm going my way

[Verse 1] Coming down like a storm, rolling thunder Lightning strikes cleave the night in two Step inside, curb your mind To waste your time on scrutinising is quite inopportune [Pre-Chorus] We're the spark to set a fire, now To your soul A fire you will not control We are - we're the craving You've been trying to keep under The mask of etiquette [Chorus] Get up, get up, come out! We're off to midnight Here's to you Welcome to the creepshow Get up, get up, come out! We're chasing twilight Raise your glass Welcome to the creepshow [Post-Chorus] Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh [Verse 2] Chant a spell, supercell to spawn a denizen of hell Defying time Starry-eyed, mystified, ghost ally Your episteme is on the line [Pre-Chorus] Wondering glance, you got admittance Wonderous dance Riot in the slough of hell Can't stop us Ride out in a chariot of fire Right into your dreams [Chorus] Get up, get up, come out! We're off to midnight Here's to you Welcome to the creepshow Get up, get up, come out! We're chasing twilight Raise your glass Welcome to the creepshow [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] Get up, get up, come out! Get up, get up, come out! [Chorus] Get up, get up, come out! We're off to midnight Here's to you Welcome to the creepshow Get up, get up, come out! We're chasing twilight Raise your glass Welcome to the creepshow Get up, get up, come out! We're off to midnight Here's to you Welcome to the creepshow Get up, get up, come out! We're chasing twilight Raise your glass Welcome to the creepshow
