Angel of Babylon

We have roamed the plains a million years Gathered at the shore When we had run out off all fears We have come from everywhere Crumbling worlds behind Reason is what we're gonna give To be given peace of mind Crimson is the pavement Blood is dripping from our dreams To the sound of smashing yesterdays We dance in ecstasy Oh craving devour me, take me away Oh to infinity, take me away Take me away Oh yeah take me away Far away Don't you turn your face to the night sky Said the fainthearted one You may see through the charades An instant that won't come undone I can feel the ease of my pain Decline of the blood reason level Gazing in awe bystanders scream Mentally critical fettle We're sailing on gentle waves We read the sky Stargazers, stargazers Behold the key Stargazers, stargazers Infinity Reason left behind Where are you detecting the wrongs Spirit that always denies I've gone insane Release me from waiting For the sparkle to rise I can see they're nailed to the cross Cannot live till they're gone Immortal they cry on terrestrial embers While they laugh at the clown You feel a chill as if time stood still There's no way out Stargazers, stargazers Behold the key Stargazers, stargazers For a lucid dream You'll leave the world behind Oh craving devour me Release me, please, take me away To infinity, oh take me away Craving devour me Take me, take me away [Solo: Bruce Kulick, Bruce Kulick & Sascha Paeth] Stargazers, stargazers Behold the key Stargazers, stargazers Infinity, reason left behind [Solo: Sascha Paeth] When the sun rose to wake another day they were gone, gone without a trace Babylon, craving in lucidity Babylon, the fire will remain And the sun razes from their memory What the dark had cyphered in the sky And the flame's burning their lucidity Babylon, rise up to the night Oh, let us wander let us wander between the worlds We override their principles Abrogate horizons Abandon mental gravity Oh, we overrule the eye Compromise your sanity To heaven To hell

You turn off the light And you won't make no difference You hear the echoes fade away When the cries of despair Turn to a sound in distance The road ain't divine Black are the wings that will carry me home Tower in the night, up to the sky Carry our remains angel of light To the dark side of Paradise On wings of fire to the back side of light From Babylon to Paradise I crawl On through shadows, i've seen iniquity galore Been worth a detour and some more The snake in the backyard of heaven Venus guiding to the back door of love From Babylon to Paradise I'm drawn On through shadows, i've seen iniquity galore Been worth a detour and some more The snake in the backyard of heaven I feel how I faint as I'm crossing the Acheron Wash away my innocence Was I losing my away When the sky has been blackened This short cut of evil Where do they drive me, where will I go Days gone by time after time I'm going insane, losing my mind To the dark side of Paradise On wings of fire to the back side of light From Babylon to Paradise I crawl On through shadows, i've seen iniquity galore Been worth a detour and some more The snake in the backyard of heaven Venus guiding to the back door of love From Babylon to Paradise I'm drawn On through shadows, i've seen iniquity galore Been worth a detour and some more The snake in the backyard of heaven [Solo: Jens Johansson] On wings of fire to the back side of light From Babylon to Paradise I crawl On through shadows, i've seen iniquity galore Been worth a detour and some more The snake in the backyard of heaven Venus guiding to the back door of love From Babylon to Paradise I'm drawn On through shadows, i've seen iniquity galore Been worth a detour and some more The snake in the backyard of heaven

Day after day I see her smile If you could see her through my eyes You wouldn't call her a little boy's fever dream How can you tell my feelings wrong How can't you see it's growing strong Silicone angel you are my fantasy Your eyes are cold Pale are your skin and your lips Pale is your desire You are the one Day after day I'm under your spell And you look away Your love is evil You are the one Day after day You are the rain I'm the parade Though your love is evil I feel how you watch my every move Why do you lie to me and you Your languidness shining through a crystal wall Nobody would touch you like i would Nobody would stop us If I could reach out through the glass Pretend you don't hear my call Your eyes are cold Pale are your skin and your lips Pale is your desire You are the one Day after day I'm under your spell And you look away Cause your love is evil You are the one Day after day under your spell And you look away Though your love is evil [Solo: Sascha Paeth & Oliver Hartmann] You are the one Day after day I'm under your spell And you look away Your love is evil You are the one Day after day You are the rain Still i'm the parade Though your love is evil

There'll be fireworks tonight Everybody's on their knees Admiration for the one Riot in a dead-end street Don't be afraid to hear his voice Tells you lies you wanna hear You just listen and obey Got the ticket in your hand A new religion for the mob For everyone to understand We're all just clockwork toys tonight And salvation is drawing near The snow covered opera tonight Enchanted with dilated eyes Living in a rat race Dying in a rat race Burning in the stream again Why should I dare to break away Living in a rat race Living in a rat race I got sulfur in my veins Devil watching through my eyes I got beauty I got brains And there's no one to defy I've got the power in my fingers And the opera in my hands The onset of winter tonight The mirror it gives me a smile Living in a rat race Dying in the rat race Burning in the stream again Why should I dare to break away Speeding in the rat race Bleeding in the rat chase Burning in the stream again Why should I dare to break away [Solo: Bruce Kulick] Living in the rat race Dying in the race Burning in the stream again Why should I dare to break away Speeding in the rat race Bleeding in the rat chase Burning in the stream again Why should I dare to break away

All of a tremble You can feel their poison arrows Have left their mark Higher and higher Wanna seize the day While you're waiting for the dark You're running from the disdain You know this time You won't turn around Chasing an illusion, disillusion Desire leading, downward bound Into the black You are tracing the riddle Where no man's been No turning back No more lost in the middle Never again, never again Once you have opened your eyes Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line I'm a believer on the receiving end Of the bat they hold with grace Dead to the voices of the anxious Timid of him who must not be named Enticing me away now as the sun sets To the truth that lies beyond I'm chasing an illusion, an illusion Revelation I'm coming home Into the black You are tracing the riddle Where no man's been No turning back No more lost in the middle Never again, never again Once you have opened your eyes Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line You turn your back on the one Willing to make up his mind No you never stood in my shoes Evil versus divine You're feeling drawn to purity Like a moth to the flame Light at the end of the tunnel Strange how the voice of the savior Roars like a train [Solo: Sascha Paeth] Into the black You are tracing the riddle Where no man's been No turning back No more lost in the middle Never again, never again Once you have opened your eyes Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line

I sold my soul for diamonds And reason for acclaim Been begging for white angels To blow my mind away Been growing funny flowers Where roses never grew I stayed awake all night When I woke up from dreams Of me and you I tried to take the sun and I went blind God help me to erase you from my mind I'm growing cold And the night is yet to come Anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated I'm way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame Self-pity gave me shelter I always hid away in vice Dyslexic, torn and tattered I tried to read the signs You never tried to take a look At the one I'd have died to be Now it seems you don't see me at all Was it all worth it Visions holding sway When the real thing got lost along the way Yes anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be I'm lost and isolated Way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame [Solo: Sascha Paeth] Yes anyone tell me is this The way it's meant to be Lost and isolated I'm way too complicated For you to lean on me I play a losing game I cried in desperation Mental devastation I'm blowing out the flame

Tonight, tonight, tonight Heal me, heal me Yes in the darkness of the night I know there's someone near me I can't explain but it's all right As long as this won't leave me I give to you my sacrifice My virgin creed, my passion I'm torn in two but all my life, my life My life I'll wait for you To near me And reveal me Rush tonight We play the darkest of all symphonies And in a flash of light Then it'll all become the symphony of life Of life, my life Heal me And in the deepness of my dreams I know it's you that haunts me In blood I swear my purity And save my treasures for you I give to you my sacrifice And lay my burden down Am I deranged that all my life, my life My life I wait for you? To cease me And release me Rush tonight We play the darkest of all symphonies And in a flash of light Then it'll all become the symphony of life Of life, my life You haunt me, chase me like a beast And with a taste so bittersweet You love me, grieve me till I'm mad Now is the moment

I've been walking down this orad With a suitcase full of dreams I've seen my demons come and go To show me what I need Madness, walking dynamite Been dancing on the edge They got me by the fuse Smiling with a match I wanted love, I wanted life Been striving for a new direction I wanted out, I wanted more I wanted to forget the damage left behind But I recall the dream I had When I kept moving on Can't stand to remember I recall No turning back Now I'm moving on Alone I remember Raise your head Got stars above and emptiness below Think of what you'd never had And would have never known You wanna turn your back on me Condemn this pleasure dome Make sure you won't forget Mistaking friend for foe, no You're at the gates, you're on the edge I've seen them falling back to nowhere You're off the rail, out of your head And you will wish you'd never seen it all I recall the dream I had When I kept moving on Can't stand to remember I recall No turning back Now I'm moving on Alone I remember Oh and I recall I used to have a dream I won't forget that moment of glory [Solo: Sascha Paeth] But I recall the dream I had When I kept moving on Can't stand to remember I recall No turning back Now I'm moving on Alone I remember I recall the dream I had...

Hey redeemer Now what's become on me taken in by promise awakening in grief Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes God gave his word just to let us down Where is he now? You ve been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land You scracht my back and I scracht yours It s you who makes decisions I just open up the doors Whining in the gutter They forget their sanctity Welcome to my clockwork Vanity machinery You gave your word You let me down What am I now You ve been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land Oh as far as the eye can see They re bent in submission Empty inside An army of scarecrows like me Thousands of brokens dreams Thousands of tradegies Tried to run from their destiny Like moths to a flame Driven by vanity They been off to Jerusalem Chasing a dream Calling on me We re just trading in needs You ve been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land

A lonely boy, a handful of dreams Cold wind blows through a heart wired-in Open skies he would explore No there ain't no mastery Of a passion and a deep blue love Yearn to see far away places One day he'd feel two hearts collide In his eyes tears and desire But he prays and he swears every night One day scales will fall from her eyes Just with a dream Just with a dream and with a song On my own I may stumble and fall It don't matter at all when you're blessed with Just what's yet to come, what's yet to come When dogs run barking And I don't hear no sound And the sky is as blue As eyes have never seen it Then I remember What I'd have been dying for Faith rescue my dream From a role that I've been put in On their screen Your eyes, and as I'll look into your eyes We're at the crack of dawn Life will stop telling lies And destiny will know It's just you and I Burning feet on the ground Got my head in the clouds Journey to Arcadia And I know I will stand What I can't comprehend Journey to Arcadia The more we see we understand That there's a lot that we don't know As you awake on padded ground The final curtain of the show Far from the eye but close to heart No matter how we try Can't repel the counterpart Our common bond we can't defy [Solo: Sascha Paeth] I've seen them standing at the crossroads When they were waiting for a sign And they unlearned to face the silence As they unlearned to turn inside You're turning to the sky And you're dying for an angel If you want it bad enough, see those eyes That's where two glances collide Learn to breathe, learn to crawl Learn to stand, walk and fall Learn to lose and to love, to believe, to rise above Love is more than to love [Solo: Bruce Kulick] Burning feet on the ground Got your head in the clouds You're out to find Arcadia And you know you will stand What you can't comprehend Journey to Arcadia The more I've seen I understand That there ain't nothing that I know now As I awake on padded ground The final curtain of the show
