Ghostlights Lyrics by Avantasia

Ghostlights

2016

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Michael Kiske as Mystic]
You're tossing and turning
You think you're awake while you're trying to run
Like in a nightmare
Time loves your ego to death

You're leaving the wheelwork
To the ground of being you go on
Defying temptation
In the engine room that is our self

[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell]
I feel a storm is looming
With a shaking grumble
I don't know if I'm right or wrong
I don't know if I shall go on
I don't know what I'll believe
But I'm on my way

[Chorus: Michael/Mystic and Tobias/Aaron]
Minds fly free when the gates fly open
Walk on through
Thunder and rain and the wind in my face
Ghost lights dance
Will you heed the token?
Glazing light
Blinding my eyes
Get me out of this maze

[Verse 2: Tobias/Aaron]
The world as we know it, is beginning to shake
Don't trust my eyes, it's all superstitious
If we think what our hearts know is true

Fireworks surround me
Wherever I go they tell me: always home
Psychosomatic –
They'll name it the nature of God

[Pre-Chorus: Mystic]
Off to a new horizon
Time is the key to unite with the all
Time is gonna make you see
Right from wrong eternally
Don't let the noises devour you

[Chorus: Michael/Mystic and Tobias/Aaron]
Minds fly free when the gates fly open
Walk on through
Thunder and rain and the wind in my face
Ghost lights dance
Will you heed the token?
Glazing light
Blinding my eyes
Get me out of this maze

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Jorn Lande as Temptation]
And what if you're only a prism
For the ghost lights that you wanna see?
And we're just reflections of your dreams

[Bridge: Tobias/Aaron]
It's speaking to me, it's yelling at me
It's screaming to me, resonating with me
And a thousand lights are trying to make me see

They call me home
They call me home
They call me home
They call me home

[Chorus: Michael/Mystic and Tobias/Aaron]
Minds fly free when the gates fly open
Walk on through
Thunder and rain and the wind in my face
Ghost lights dance
Will you heed the token?
Glazing light
Blinding my eyes
Get me out of this maze
