Avantasia - The Flying Opera - Around the World in 20 Days (Live) [Recorded @ Wacken & Masters of Rock]

Promised Land (Live) [Recorded @ Wacken & Masters of Rock]

Welcome to the promised land

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

God gave his word just to let us down
Where is he now?

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 scratch my back
And I scratch yours
It's you who makes decisions
I just open up the doors
Whining in the gutter
They forget their sanctity
Welcome to my clockwork
Vanity machinery

God gave his word just to let us down
Where is he now?

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

Oh, as far as the eye can see
Bent in submission
But you are free
An army of ugly scarecrows like me
Thousands of broken dreams
Thousands of tragedies
Tried to run from their destiny
Oh, like moths to a flame
Driven by vanity
They're off to Jerusalem
Chasing a dream, calling on me
Just trading in needs

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
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

Thank you very much and good night Wacken
