The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Lyrics by Avantasia
Moonglow
2019
[Tobias Sammet] For too long now, I've been Adrift in this ocean that washed over me [Ronnie Atkins] Diluting the secrets that you had to keep From the world that's been... [Jorn Lande] ...spinning around you, with and without you Sedating, unkind Show you the way Deliver and faint! Relish to stand in line! [Tobi & Ronnie] Oh [Tobias Sammet] I guess you'll find no one to blame We're tied to the rules of someone else's game [Ronnie Atkins] Try to fly, flap your wings As you look to the night sky A gilded cage in the twilight [Jorn Lande and Tobias Sammet] You dance on a wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Been caught in the mire Now you're reaching for the stars, oh, oh [Jorn Lande] Oh, dance on the wire To the breeze that carries change Tonight, you will see the Great Pan in the stars The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear [Tobi & Ronnie] Oh [Tobias Sammet] For quite a while, I have been The one that I thought I was happy to be Masquerade, at least a shadow play No one's gonna see... [Eric Martin and Tobias Sammet] ...behind the facade, those rallying calls You're afraid to awake Look at the sky, you can't defy The dark that is calling your name [Jorn Lande] You're blind by the beauty around You're numb by the touch And you're deaf to the sound [Tobias Sammet] Of the sweet-smelling Bright melody of the moonlight That devours the bars in the twilight [Ronnie Atkins and Tobias Sammet] You dance on a wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Been caught in the mire Now you're reaching for the stars, oh, oh [Ronnie Atkins and Tobias Sammet] Dance on the wire To the breeze that carries change tonight [Ronnie Atkins] You will see the Great Pan in the stars The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear [Jorn Lande] Now, open your eyes Ain't it what you've been wanting? [Tobias Sammet] Too much to fathom, until it unfolds [Bob Catley] Endure what you're in for You're meant to be longing King of the wave Now keep flailing about [Jorn Lande] We're the dream the inhabits The waking old world [Eric Martin] We're right here We're the doorway to guide you across [Geoff Tate] Exposed to the spirits That you're meant to be citing Misfit and misplaced You'll never belong [Ronnie Atkins] We're the breath you don't catch We're the great expectations You ain't measured up to On the beautiful side [Eric Martin] We're the promise not kept Bred in desolation [Bob Catley] We're the will of the wisp Demerged from the light [Tobias Sammet] Get me out of here Take me away Take me, take me Take me away Take me away [Ronnie Atkins] Dance on the wire See the piper at the gates of dawn [Tobias Sammet] Now you're reaching for the stars [Tobias Sammet and Jorn Lande] You dance on a wire See the piper at the gates of dawn Been caught in the mire Now you're reaching for the stars, oh, oh Dance on the wire To the breeze that carries change tonight You will see the Great Pan in the stars The piper at the gates of dawn is near
