Promised Land (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 scratched my back and I scratched 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
They're bent in submission
Or too afraid
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've been off to Jerusalem
Chasing a dream
Calling on me
We're 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
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
Oh
Thank you very much and goodbye Wacken
