Against the Wind Lyrics by Avantasia

Here Be Dragons

2025

[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
