Sign of the Cross Lyrics by Avantasia

The Metal Opera

2001

[Intro: Tobias as Gabriel]
From a world of reign they come...
[Verse 1: Oliver as Pope]
In a world of mammon we have found it all!
Fighting for pride and for gold
But the key to the reign, to the ultimate control:
Wisdom of the old
We have been elect to drain the wine
Of Gnosis to hide it and pray
Got to save our children from the beast
We are on the way
[Pre-Chorus: Andre as Elderane]
Remaining in darkness
The land of salvation will drown
And when we'll have vanished
Slavery will take your freedom down
[Chorus: Gabriel]
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time:
Sign of the cross...
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign
Sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine
[Verse 2: Rob as von Bicken]
In the heart of justice called Horeb long ago
Moses got carvings in stone
Imposed to judge those who do not fear
The only, the holy, the Lord
[Verse 3: Gabriel]
The blood of anger and pain:
Ink of the Old Testament
I know they'll end their crusade
Drown in the blood of the lamb
[Pre-Chorus: Elderane]
Remaining in darkness
The land of salvation will drown
And when we'll have vanished
Slavery will take your freedom down
[Chorus: Gabriel]
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time:
Sign of the cross...
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign
Sign of the cross - make us drown in altar wine
[Bridge: Kai as Regrin]
You have been the chosen one
So welcome to this place
Vandroiy's told us you would come
To help us win the race
Bring back the seal from the men
Who don't know what they do
Seemed to be a fool without an own way of life
But you've been a sleeping mind
And you woke up on time
You've got the power to save us and finally you
[Solo: Jens]
[Pre-Chorus: Gabriel]
A dream is forever
The land of salvation can't drown
These enchanting colors -
Who could have the might to tear it down?
(all these colors - fantasy...)
[Chorus: Gabriel]
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time
Sign of the cross...
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign
Sign of the cross...
Seven eyes
Follow the sign
Sight of the cross
Hell arise
Follow the sign
Sign of the cross
