Sign of the Cross Lyrics

(Gabriel:)
From a world of reign they come...

(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.

(Elderane:)
Remaining in darkness
the land of salvation will drown.
And when we'll have vanished
slavery will take your freedom down.

(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

(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.

(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.

(Elderane:)
Remaining in darkness
the land of salvation will drown
And when we'll have vanished
slavery will take your freedom down

(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

(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 in time.
You've got the power to save us and finally you.

(Solo: Jens)

(Gabriel:)
A dream is forever.
The land of salvation can't drown.
Those enchanting colors -
who could have the might to tear it down?
(all these colors - fantasy...)

(Gabriel:)
Seven eyes to be blind forever in time:
Sign of the cross...
Hell arise! Castigation under the sign,
sign of the cross... Follow the sign...

Avantasia, from Germany, is the side-project of Edguy singer Tobias Sammet, founded in 1999. Two concept albums were released (The Metal Opera, The Metal Opera Pt. II), their structures similar to that of an opera. Both can be classified as Power Metal and/or Symphonic Metal. After the second album, Sammet announced that there would not be any more Avantasia albums. However, in January 2008 a third album was released, titled The Scarecrow. On November 16th 2007 two 6-track albums Lost in Space Part 1 and Lost in Space Part 2 were released. On April 2nd 2010 two new full-length albums were released, The Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon, completing the Scarecrow Trilogy. In March 2011 the first Avantasia live CD and DVD called The Flying Opera were released. The contents were based on the footage taken during The Scarecrow tour in 2008, recorded on Wacken Open Air (Germany) and Masters of Rock (Vizovice, Czech Republic) music festivals. In 2013 Avantasia released their sixth album, The Mystery of Time. Their seventh album, Ghostlights was released on 29 January 2016.
