Avantasia - Ghostlights Lyrics






You're tossing and turning
You think you're awake while you're trying to run
Like in a nightmare
Time loves your ego to death
You're leaving the wheelwork to the ground of being
You go on
Defying temptation in the engine room that is ourself

I feel a storm is looming with a shaking grumble
I don't know if I'm right or wrong
I don't know if I shall go on
I don't know what I'll believe but I'm on my way

Minds fly free when the gates fly open
Walk on through thunder and rain and the wind in my face
Ghostlights dance will you heed the token
Glazing light blinding my eyes get me out of this maze

The world as we know it is beginning to shake
I don't trust my eyes are we all superstitious
If we think what our hearts know is true
Fireworks surround me
wherever I go they tell me: always home
psycho-somatic they'll name it the nature of god

Off to a new horizon
Time is the key to unite with the all
Time is gonna make you see right from wrong eternally
Don't let the noises devour you

Minds fly free when the gates fly open
Walk on through thunder and rain and the wind in my face
Ghostlights dance will you heed the token
Glazing light blinding my eyes get me out of this maze

And what if you're only a prism for the ghostlights that you wanna see
And we're just reflections of your dreams
It's speaking to me
It's yelling at me
It's screaming to me, resonating with me
And a thousand lights are trying to make me see
They call me home

Minds fly free when the gates fly open
Walk on through thunder and rain and the wind in my face
Ghostlights dance will you heed the token
Glazing light blinding my eyes get me out of this maze

  2. J.... C....

    Avantasia & Tobías Sammet!!🤘🏻👊🏻

  3. W.... B....

    This is actually a song about estoric philoophy lmao.

    W.... B....

    I've always thought it was about psychedelics and the multiverse.

    W.... B....

    @C Jon Its all correlated :).

    W.... B....

    @Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am! Is it really? It's a theme of notice with avantasia's music. Between this song, "Requiem for a dream" off of the new album. There are a bunch of others too. So many psychedelic references. It's hard not to notice if you've done psychedelics.

  4. M.... T....

    Muito bom👏

  5. A.... P....

    I still like it!🤘🏽

  6. A.... P....

    I still love it! Let’s go!🤘🏽

  7. S.... S....

    Probably the best Avantasia chorus.
    And all Avantasia choruses are wonderful.

  8. C.... G....

    El primer álbum que compré

  9. C.... R....

    0:25 and 1:33 those melodies remind me so much to Jurassic Park theme
    Awesome song btw

  10. C.... G....

    Anyone saying Kiske sings in falsetto is totally clueless. He has a VERY wide register.

  11. I.... K....

    unbelievable shit, it reminds me of Ein Kessel Buntes

  12. R.... R....

    Melhor música do álbum 👏👏👏

  13. T.... ....

    This Album started of slow and underwhelming.. but midway through picks up make it one of the greats.. this track and especially the one with within temptation are the best tracks.. very catchy, well thought out lyrics and composition.. 4.5/5 and only because the first few tracks are a bit underwhelming..

  14. b.... ....

    I love this song so much, it's spiritual, it's magical, but you can also tell it's somewhere rooted in reality (the theme around ghostlights seem to be a metaphor to extremism and religion). When I listen to it I'm picturing a phoenix that's rising from the ashes that is today's humanity

  15. J.... E....

    Lo maximo 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼puro power 😘

  16. l.... l....

    Can't wait for the upcoming tour with the new album 🎸😍 Wacken, I've been there and I have sung along with you😊

    1:04 eeeeehn deeeh aaaahgaaaaai raaaaaaaahm thaaaaaa is aaaaaau-saaaaaaaaaaaahf. Fuck man, Kiske used to be able to articulate words as far as I can remember :/

  20. J.... A....

    They call me home

  36. A.... S....

    Kiske... still amazing as he did 20 years ago. I really like how he sing.

  37. s.... ....

    I fucking love this type of metal what subgenre is this??

    s.... ....

    This is European "power metal" (if you are referring to this song). It is a subgenre started by the band Helloween with their album Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I, in 1987. The now ex-Helloween singer, Michael Kiske, also sings on this song.

  38. �.... �....

    ...only Lp...

  39. J.... S....

    Never heard of this band before tonight. The voice reminds me of Queensryche a little.

  40. K.... G....

  41. g.... ....

    Do the albums still have a story?

  48. L.... T....

    Love this song

  49. N.... M....

    Souns like anime music lol, cool

  50. R.... ....

    I like it. What is strange is that there has not yet been an Iron Maiden fan who says, "THIS IS LIKE THE SONG OF IRON MAIDEN". As usual. Ja ja ja ja ...

  51. D.... P....

    michael kiske forever

  52. J.... J....

    Love that intro guitar perfectly intune

  53. R.... ....

    fantastic album

  54. R.... ....

    Helloween reloaded. brilliant

  55. T.... ....

    It feels so great to hear Kiske open up all valves in his throat and then fire up
    his voice in all cylinders.

  56. J.... A....

    Esto fue lo mejor del 2016 😎💜

  57. V.... ....

    RoF is better

  58. P.... L....

    Metal Opera was best album ever ;) ;) .....

  59. M.... ....

    Great song! And even greater singing! Funny thing is, I never really listened Helloween. So when I heard this song the singer reminded me of Trick and Treat: an amazing band that turned out to be a Helloween tribute band!

  60. C.... P....

    METAL IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD, AVANTASIA THIS ALBUL IS PERFECT

  61. W.... D....

  65. V.... A....

    Hail to Sasha Paeth...everything he touches becomes a masterpiece....

  66. V.... S....

    Question to everyone: What is your favourite Avantasia's song?

  67. d.... ....

    An entire song of Kiske and Tobi, and Jorn just blows both of them out of the water with his one line.

  68. J.... R....

    La mejor canción del albsin duda alguna.

  69. B.... T....

    Tobi - Michi - Jorn - The Real Three Tenors.

  70. A.... A....

    Uno de los mejores temas del power increíbles, mil respetos Tobias Sammet... AMAZING!...

  71. H.... -....

    Everyone is talking about Kiske, but my favourite moment is when Jorn sings.

    H.... -....

    I love all parts.

    H.... -....

    Although the whole song is great, Jorn's two sentences in there are the highlight for me

  72. S.... ....

    The vocals at the beginning totally sound like Tommy ReinXeed.

    S.... ....

    Except it's michael kiske, who in my opinion sounds nothing like Reinxeed.

  73. A.... N....

    155 people blinded by ghostlights...

  74. m.... ....

    Kiske OMG!

  75. I.... S....

    AMAZING!!

    every kiske track on the album is a victory in itself, one of my favourite 2016 albums

  80. J.... R....

    spiritual awakening NORDIC RISE

  81. J.... R....

    NORDIC RISE HUMANS NEED THE ELDERS TO ASSIST OUR AWAKING

  82. I.... M....

    no puedo odiar mas los efectos en las letras de las canciones... se trata de leer no de sacarse el psicotecnico....

  83. O.... B....

    I never thought i would live to hear michael kiske sing like this again

  84. A.... V....

    Hail Tobi

  85. H.... G....

    Kiske went full God Mode on this song... F*cking amazing.

  87. L.... N....

    You're tossing and turning
    You think you're awake
    While you're trying to run
    Like in a nightmare
    Time loves your ego to death

    You're leaving the wheelwork
    To the ground of being you go on
    Defying temptation
    In the engine room that is our self

    I feel a storm is looming
    With a shaking grumble

    I don't know if I'm right or wrong
    I don't know if I shall go on
    I don't know what I'll believe
    But I'm on my way

    Minds fly free
    When the gates fly open
    Walk on through
    Thunder and rain
    And the wind in my face

    Ghostlights dance
    Will you heed the token
    Glazing light
    Blinding my eyes
    Get me out of this maze

    The world as we know it
    Is beginning to shake
    I don't trust my eyes
    Are we all superstitious
    If we think what our hearts know is true

    Fireworks surround me
    Wherever I go they tell me: Always home
    Psycho somatic
    They'll name it the nature of God

    Off to a new horizon
    Time is the key to unite with the all
    Time is gonna make you see
    Right from wrong eternally
    Don't let the noises devour you

    Minds fly free
    When the gates fly open
    Walk on through
    Thunder and rain
    And the wind in my face

    Ghostlights dance
    Will you heed the token
    Glazing light
    Blinding my eyes
    Get me out of this maze

    And what if you're only a prism
    For the ghostlights that you wanna see
    And we're just reflections of your dreams

    It's speaking to me
    It's yelling at me
    It's screaming to me
    Resonating with me
    And a thousand lights
    Are trying to make me see

    They call me home (4x)

    Minds fly free
    When the gates fly open
    Walk on through
    Thunder and rain
    And the wind in my face

    Ghostlights dance
    Will you heed the token
    Glazing light
    Blinding my eyes
    Get me out of this maze!♫

  88. J.... S....

    long live Michael Kiske (^<^) \m/

  89. A.... P....

    power power metal...nice..

  90. T.... ....

    Holy shit!!!

  91. V.... L....

    Kiske!!

  92. G.... D....

    Tobias! cantas como los dioses en estudio, en vivo eres un desastre

  93. K.... J....

    My favourite song on this album. I know, that on all album are better composition, but Ghostlights is so powerfull and briliant!

  94. A.... D....

    Avantasia saved Kiske, and Tobias gave us Avantasia.

  95. M.... ....

    They say if you pop in an Avantasia CD, seven days later Tobias Sammet will come out of your stereo and turn you into a block of cheese!

    M.... ....

    that's a good one

  96. P.... 1....

    One of the best songs of all time
