Seduction of Decay Lyrics by Avantasia

Ghostlights

2016

[Geoff Tate as Scientist II]
It ain't the far cry that it seemed
In just a wink we'd come for you
You may not feel it
We are the light, the scorching heat
We are the untold chosen few
And now we've come for you
We'll fit you like a velvet glove
That's gonna choke their minds
Affiliate yourself with what you can't defy
Some below and few above
We're gonna numb their minds
[Geoff/Scientist II and Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell]
Riot on the edge (Hey)
On the brink of insanity (Hey)
Riot on the edge
[Chorus: Geoff/Scientist II]
You'll hear me screaming your name
I am the angel of decay to seize you
There'll be no thoughts to maintain
I'm the seduction of decay
[Tobias/Aaron]
I hear their tales reverberate
From shrouds of myth that only time would weave
Bred in a den of lunacy
Who can we trust? Who's next in line?
The sacred drive to rationalize
[Tobias/Aaron and Geoff/Scientist II]
Commit ourselves another day
To the lesser crime
Choke on your own pace with candor
So pleasant in the quiet
Vicegerents of the tide
[Geoff/Scientist II and Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell]
Riot on the edge (Hey)
On the brink of insanity (Hey)
Riot on the edge
[Chorus: Geoff/Scientist II]
You'll hear me screaming your name
I am the angel of decay to seize you
There'll be no thoughts to maintain
I'm the seduction of decay
Time contaminating space
To reinfect and agonize anything around
We are metabolite of dreams
The chosen ones to sacrifice
The wasteland-bound
Oh, Euphoria is looming in the darkness
Coincidence of opposites we are
Once beautiful intentions
Oh, we'll drag you over
Oh, it's gonna drag you over
[Tobias/Aaron]
Oh, from the start we run away
And don't seem to care what for
Forever feels just like a blink after passing by
Just fools don't know the prime's another
State of decay
[Geoff/Scientist II and Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell]
Riot on the edge (Hey)
On the brink of insanity (Hey)
Riot on the edge
[Chorus: Geoff/Scientist II]
You'll hear me screaming your name
I am the angel of decay to seize you
There'll be no thoughts to maintain
I'm the seduction of decay
