Against the Wind (Piano Version) Lyrics by Avantasia

Here Be Dragons

2025

[Verse 1]
\nHere I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea
\nOh, I delve into the vault
\nOf my mind, a memory
\nWhen a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak
\nPaling crescent in the sky
\nPouring down its fading beam
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nI stand here all alone
\nI came here on my own
\nTo light the inner blaze
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAgainst the wind, against the grain
\nOpen visor - arrows rain
\nI'm me and I do it my way
\nDon't you tell me what to be
\nThrough my eyes you cannot see
\nI'm me and I'm going my way
\nAgainst the wind I'm going my way
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate
\nI've seen scarily faceless things
\nWhere they scream, but never hear
\nScraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed
\nThe enticer never sleeps
\nBreathing doubt into your ear
\n
\n[Pre-Chorus]
\nI stand here all alone
\nI came here on my own
\nAnd you will not take hold on my creed
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAgainst the wind, against the grain
\nOpen visor - arrows rain
\nI'm me and I do it my way
\nDon't you tell me what to be
\nThrough my eyes you cannot see
\nI am me and I do it my way
\nAgainst the wind I'm going my way
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAgainst the wind, against the grain
\nOpen visor - arrows rain
\nI'm me and I do it my way
\nDon't you tell me what to be
\nThrough my eyes you cannot see
\nI am me and I'm going my way
\nAgainst the wind I'm going my way\n\n
