Avantasia > The Metal Opera, Pt. I Reach out for the Light
Lyrics
[Gabriel:]
Yeah - yeah
Lord above - why don't you tell me
why I'm here in agony?
I've been serving, I've been praying,
now I'm caught in misery.
I've been praised by friar Jakob,
I misused his confidence.
Cheated by this work of evil -
Feigning Anna's innocence.
Oh what have I done?
So many ways lead to the fallen one,
Lucifer, fallen light
Oh what have I done?
What is going on?
-We should bring salvation,
not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy word
and no forbidden lies that hurt.
I remember words of "seven".
Set me free - sanity! -
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind
[Gabriel:]
What is right and what is wrong now?
Is it a trial of paradise?
Is Anna a witch or do they stick to an error?
What's the book and the seal inside?
Am I a cleric or maybe a sinner?
Unbeliever? Renegade?
Was it the devil who led me to "seven"?
Oh redeemer is it all too late?
Oh what have I done?
I have been led by the smelling one,
Lucifer, fallen light
Tell me stranger, what have I done?
Oh what is going on? Yeah
-We should bring salvation,
not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy word
and no forbidden lies that hurt.
I remember words of "seven".
Set me free - sanity! -
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light
[Gabriel:]
in your mind? Yeah - oh - yeah
[Solo: Henjo]
[Lugaid:]
Reach out for the light
far beyond confines.
You have read the magic lines
leading to the light in your mind
