Avantasia
Let the Storm Descend upon You
[Tobias Sammet as Aaron Blackwell]
I'm smothered by a lucid nothing
I can't hear and touch and see
But I feel it
Though I can't believe it
Like master of the observation
Coming up with an explanation
There's no need
Making use of the spirit

[Jorn Lande as Temptation]
We can give you answers
You are dying to receive
Keep on dreaming
Keep on screaming, yeah
You might be getting too much
For your beating heart to take
Your flesh is malice
Prepare your chalice

Light
Breathe and sleep tight
Will you defy intriguing ghostlights
Seeing through all lies and foolish warnings

[Tobi/Aaron]
There ain't no return
[Ronnie Atkins as Magician]
Never light the darkness
It may burn your soul away
As you'll be seeing
What you though you're dreaming

[Jorn/Temptation]
Never open doors if you don't
Dare to walk on through
It maybe your vault
Now it's all your fault

[Ronnie/Magician]
Light
You're off to the light
Will you defy all evil ghostlights
Tell the truth from decoration

[Robert Mason as Scientist I]
Time
Don't waste no time
Prevail against the hands that tick your flesh away
Now delve into your own reflection

Oh, you know that's where I've been to
There's nothing but a void
Out for the sanity of fools
[Jorn/Temptation]
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
Then I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold and let aurora fall upon you
Oh, Let the storm descend upon you

[Tobi/Aaron]
Journey to the other side
Or just a trip and pleasure ride
And I don't know
But does it really matter

[Jorn/Temptation]
Oooh, I am he who's always been
Who dares to know what can't be seen
I'm illusion or truth
I'm confusion, yeah

[Ronnie/Magician and Tobi/Aaron]
Light
Bring me the light
I will bring out certainty on a silver plate
Like a mantle piece
I will wipe out darkness
Night
Blessed is the night
Till there's no time left to spill
To save and kill
To take and seize
You just drift along

Are they reflections of some crazy dream
Or maybe the backside of reality

[Ronnie/Magician]
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
Then I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold and let aurora fall upon you
Let the storm descend upon you

[Robert/Scientist I]
You gotta pray your god ain't just a ghost light
You gotta pray you won't be falling down the wayside
Let it carry you away

Cut the gem until it's purified away
The candle burning to the ground

[Tobi/Aaron]
I don't see nothing but addiction to the ride
That kindles everything around

[Ronnie/Magician]
For all the world will see it tower to the stars
And all is melting into one

[Robert/Scientist I]
We'll give them something to fall back on everytime
They're too strung-out to run

[Tobi/Aaron]
Every moment, every heartbeat, every breath
Leaves you one less to your last

[Robert/Scientist I]
Still you cherish every second of the game
Give me the future, you take the past, wo-ho

[Ronnie/Magician]
And what if God is just an image in the mind
Ooh, a reflection of the will

[Robert/Scientist I]
And what's the matter with a lie you live in harmony (with)
For a sucker for the thrill

[Tobi/Aaron]
I pray the lord ain't just a ghos tlight in my mind
A reflection of the will
Let the storm descend upon me
Let aurora fall upon me

[Jorn/Temptation]
Let the fire fall upon him
Let the fire purify him
Never judge a thing you see
It's only what your mortal eyes will want it to be
Oh, bring it on
Let the dark inhale the confusion
Spit out a conclusion

[Tobi/Aaron]
Are they reflections or a memory
Or just reflections in a crazy dream

[Jorn/Temptation, Ronnie/Magician and Robert/Scientist I]
Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
And I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold and let aurora fall upon you

[Jorn/Temptation, Ronnie/Magician and Robert/Scientist I]
Shine your light into the darkness
Into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
Then I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Into the darkness
Behold and let aurora fall upon you
Oh, Let the storm descend upon you
Let the storm descend upon you
Oh, descend upon you, yeah
