Edguy - Theater of Salvation LYRICS

"I`VE HEARD VOICES IN MY DREAM
MADE ME STAND UP, HELPED ME SEE." Aaah...

Oohhh...

VISIONS CALLED HIM TO AWAKE HIS MIND
TO FIND HIS HORIZON
AND FIND OUT WHAT MAY BE BEHIND

[vision:]

"TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
YOU CAN FIND IN THE BACK OF YOUR SOUL!
WAKE UP THE KING IN YOURSELF
TO BE MIGHTY AND BOLD!"

SEASONS OF DOUBT
FEAR AND SILENT DESIRES OF LIFE
HAVE GONE BY
VISIONS HAVE CALLED BACK MY LONGING
FOR FREEDOM TONIGHT
MADE ME SIGH...

WASTING MY LIFE TILL THE DAY
THAT THE VOICE HAS APPEARED...
MADE ME SEE:
I AM THE ONE THAT CAN MAKE IT
THROUGH TIMES OF DESPAIR; I AM FREE!

THEY BUILT UP A SYMBOL OF WARNING
TO GIVE ME FEAR
TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM PARADISE
ALTHOUGH IT`S SO NEAR
EXPECTING I DON`T TAKE A LOOK
AT WHAT IS BEHIND. FREEDOM CALLING...

[Chorus:]

TAKE A LOOK AT THE OPEN GATE!
WALK ON AND DON`T BE AFRAID!
FREE YOUR MIND IN WHAT THEY CALL
IT`S THE HEART OF TEMPTATION!

...OH... GO THE WAY!

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
I REMEMBERED THE WORD OF THE PRIEST
"THOU SHALT NOT!
NEVER GIVE IN TO THE PROMISES
MADE BY THE BEAST
SO HELP ME GOD!
NEVER GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION
OR YOU`LL BURN IN HELL
A LONG, LONG TIME!
FOREVER-ETERNAL-SALVATION
IS WHAT I CAN SELL
IF YOU STAY BLIND!!!"

BUT I WANNA KNOW WHAT LIES BEHIND
THE GATE OF THEIR HELL
AND I WON`T BELIEVE ALL THE STORIES
THAT THEY ALWAYS TELL
I GOT THE MIND TO FIND OUT
WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT`S WRONG
FREEDOM CALLING...

[Repeat: Solo: Both, Jens]

QUEEN OF MINE I LONG FOR YOU
TELL ME WHY TO WAIT TO FIND OUR JOY!
IT`S YOUR WAIT FOR HEAVEN`S DOOR
YOUR FEAR THAT MAKES THEM GROW
AND LET YOU FORGET TODAY.

[Solo: Jens]

I`LL NEVER GO AND I`LL
STAY ON YOUR SIDE
THEY`LL NEVER KNOW WHAT I GIVE TO YOU
IS A PIECE OF PARADISE

HEAVEN CAN WAIT! NOW I`M LIVING!
HEAVEN CAN WAIT FOREVERMORE
HEAVEN CAN WAIT!
I AM TO LIVE LIKE I WANT TO ALSO BEFORE I`LL DIE.
HEAVEN CAN WAIT! YOU CAN`T THRILL ME!
HEAVEN CAN WAIT, WE DANCE TILL WE DIE!
HEAVEN CAN WAIT! WELCOME TO THE
THEATER OF SALVATION

[Solo: Jens]

"HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!"
I HEAR THE MAN IN BLACK. HIS
"HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!"
HE TRIES TO KEEP ME BACK. NO!
"HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!"
LOCK UP THE GATES TO WISDOM
"HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH"
TOO LATE! I`VE FOUND THE KINGDOM...

HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!
I SEE A BAND OF ANGELS.
HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!
FREEDOM CALLING...
HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!
I DO NOT FEAR THE STORIES
HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH!
FREEDOM CALLING ME

[Solo: Both]

DON`T YOU SEE IT? DON`T YOU FEEL IT?
FREEDOM CALLING...
