[Verse 1: Tobias as Gabriel]
Open my eyes
And see my bleeding wounded hands...
Feeling the pain too hard to stand. To stand...
Caught in the 'now and here'
While they are on the way
Hiding imagination, leading us astray...

[Pre-Chorus: Michael as Lugaid]
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind
Sanity can be the toll -
Leading to the core of your soul

[Chorus: Gabriel (along to the voices in his head)]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia!
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia! - Avantasia...

[Verse 2: Gabriel]
Walking along the icy gallery of pain
Tell me now: What can keep the flame alive?
Lack of imagination - raising up the tower
Where they hold our souls
To take away the power
[Pre-Chorus: Lugaid]
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind
Sanity can be the toll
Leading to the core of your soul

[Chorus: Gabriel]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia!
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia!

[Solo: Henjo]

[Chorus: Gabriel]
We are the power inside, we bring you fantasy
We are the kingdom of light and dreams
Gnosis and life: Avantasia!

Oh - Avantasia - oh
Oh - I hear the voices - oh - yeah...
Oh - into the light - into the light...
Oh - Avantasia... oh...
