[Avantasia, Jørn Lande, Geoff Tate, Bob Catley, Eric Martin, Ronnie Atkins - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn lyrics]
For too long now I've been
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
From the world that's been
Spinning around you, with and without you
Sedating, unkind show you the way
Deliver and faint! Relish to stand in line!
Oh
I guess you'll find no one to blame
We're tied to the rules
Of someone else's game
Try to fly, flap your wings
As you look to the night sky
A gilded cage in the twilight
You dance on a wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Been caught in the mire
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Oh, dance on the wire
To the breeze that carries change
Tonight you will see the Great
Pan in the stars
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
Oh
For quite a while I have been
The one that I thought I was happy to be
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
No one's gonna see
Behind the fascade, those rallying calls
You're afraid to awake
Look at the sky, you can't defy
The dark that is calling your name
You're blind by the beauty around
You're numb by the touch
And you're deaf to the sound
Of the sweet-smelling
Bright melody of the moonlight
That devours the bars in the twilight
You dance on a wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Been caught in the mire
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Dance on the wire
To the breeze that carries change tonight
You will see the Great Pan in the stars
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
Now open your eyes
Ain't it what you've been wanting
Too much to fathom, until it unfolds
Endure what you're in for
You're meant to be longing
King of the wave, now keep flailing about
We're the dream the inhabit's
The waking old world
We're right here
We're the doorway to guide you across
Exposed to the spirit's that you're
Meant to be citing
Misfit and misplaced, you'll never belong
We're the breath you don't catch
We're the great expectations
You ain't measured up to
On the beautiful side
We're the promise not kept
- bred in desolation
We're the will of the wisp
- demerged from the light
Get me out of here take me away
Take me take me take me away take me away
Dance on the wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Now you're reaching for the stars
You dance on a wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Been caught in the mire
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Dance on the wire
To the breeze that carries change - tonight
You will see, the Great Pan in the stars
The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near
Adrift in this ocean that washed over me
Diluting the secrets that you had to keep
From the world that's been
Spinning around you, with and without you
Sedating, unkind show you the way
Deliver and faint! Relish to stand in line!
Oh
I guess you'll find no one to blame
We're tied to the rules
Of someone else's game
Try to fly, flap your wings
As you look to the night sky
A gilded cage in the twilight
You dance on a wire
See the piper at the gates of dawn
Been caught in the mire
Now you're reaching for the stars oh oh
Oh, dance on the wire
To the breeze that carries change
Tonight you will see the Great
Pan in the stars
The piper at the gates of dawn you'll hear
Oh
For quite a while I have been
The one that I thought I was happy to be
Masquerade, at least a shadow play
No one's gonna see
Behind the fascade, those rallying calls
You're afraid to awake
Look at the sky, you can't defy
The dark that is calling your name
You're blind by the beauty around

The Piper at the Gates of dawn is near
