[Verse 1, Tobias Sammet]
Hey, redeemer
Now what's become of me
Taken in by promise
Awakening in grief

Collecting us like puppets
You instrumentalize
A frigid trepidation
In a million puppet eyes

[Pre-Chorus, Jorn Lande]
God gave his word just to let us down
Where is he now

[Chorus, Jorn Lande]
You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone
You're welcome to my home
And found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land

[Verse 2, Michael Kiske]
You scratch my back
And I scratch yours
It's you who makes dеcisions
Just open up the doors
Whining in the guttеr
They forget their sanctity
Welcome to my clockwork
Vanity machinery

[Pre-Chorus, Tobias Sammet]
You gave your word
You let me down
What am I now

[Chorus, Michael Kiske]
You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone
You're welcome to my home
And found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land

[Bridge, Tobias Sammet]
Oh, as far as the eye can see
They're bent in submission
Empty inside
An army of scarecrows like me
Thousands of broken dreams
Thousands of tragedies
Tried to run from their destiny
[Jorn Lande]
Woah, like moths to a flame
Driven by vanity
They've been off to Jerusalem
Chasing a dream, calling on me
We're just trading in needs

[Solo: Sascha Paeth, Henjo Richter, both]

[Chorus, Jorn Lande]
You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone
You're welcome to my home
And found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land

You've been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone
You're welcome to my home
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land
