Avantasia - Let The Storm Descend Upon You Lyrics






I'm smothered by your lucid nothing
I can't hear and touch and see
But I feel it
Though I can't believe it
Like master of the observation
Coming up with an explanation
There's no need
Making use of the spirit

We can give you answers you are dying to receive
Keep on dreaming
Keep on screaming
yeah
You might be getting too much for your beating hart to take
Your flesh is malice
Prepare your chalice

Lights
breathe and sleep tight
Will you defy intriguing ghostlights
Seeing through all lies and foolish warnings

There ain't no return

Never like the darkness
It may burn your soul away
As you've been seeing
What you've though you're dreaming

Never open doors if you don't dare to walk on through
Maybe you're old
Now it's all your fault

Light
You're off to the light
Will you defy all evil ghostlights
Tell the truth from depuration
Time
Don't waste no time
Prevail against the hands that tick your flesh away
Now delve into your own reflection

Ohhh in all that where I've been to
There's nothing but a void
Over the sanity of fools

Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
And I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold the lead aurora fall upon you
Oh, Let the storm descend upon you

Journey to the other side
It's just a trip and pleasure ride
And I don't know
But does it really matter

I am he who's always been
Who dares to know what can't be seen
I'm illusion or truth
I'm confusion

Light
Bring me the light
I will bring out certainty on a silver plate
Like a mantle piece
I will wipe out darkness

Light
Blessed is the lie
Till there's no time left to spill
To save and kill
To take and seize
Till this trip's your law

Obey reflections of some crazy dream
Or maybe the backside of reality

Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
And I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold the lead aurora fall upon you
Let the storm descend upon you

You gotta pray you're gunning just a ghostlight
You gotta be won't be falling down the wayside
Let it carry you away

Cut the gem until it's purified away
The candle burning to the ground
I don't see nothing but addiction to the rhyme
Kindles everything around

For all the world we'll see it tower to the stars
And all is melting into one

We give them something to fall back on everytime
They're too strung out to run

Every moment, every heartbeat, every breath
Leaves you one less to your last

Still you cherish every second of the game
Give me the future, you take the past

And what if God is just an image in the mind
A reflection of the will

And what's the valor when the law you live in harmony
Falls second for the drill

I pray the lord ain't just a ghostlight in my mind
a reflection of the will
Let the storm descend upon me
Let aurora fall upon me

Let the fire fall upon him
Let the fire purify him
Never judge a thing you see
It's only what your mortal eyes will want it to be
Ohhh bring it on
Let the dark and heaven confusion
Spit out a conclusion

Obey reflections of a memory
Are just reflections in a crazy dream

Shine your light into the darkness
And let the storm descend upon you
And I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness
Behold the lead aurora fall upon you
Shine your light into the darkness (through the darkness)
And let the storm descend upon you
And I will make you mine
Shine your light into the darkness (into the darkness)
Behold the lead aurora fall upon you
Oh, Let the storm descend upon you (let the storm descend upon you)
Ohhh descend upon you, yeah.

  10. d.... ....

    Essa música possuí a mesma ideia da Scarecrow. O protagonista (interpretado pelo Tobias Sammet) é uma criatura atormentada, seja pela ausência na correspondência amorosa/sentimental (Scarecrow); seja pela falta da presença de Deus (Let the Storm Descend Upon You). E em ambas as músicas há a figura do Jorn Lande servindo como o Satã, (inimigo/adversário) ou o Mefistófeles, visto que Sammet é alemão, deve ter lido Goethe.


    Em ambas as músicas o protagonista vê-se tentando a cometer suicídio e é incentivado pelo demônio a fazer isso.

    De portugal . Assunto . Parece que a banda pertence a uma dominacao evangelica a falar em espiritualidade . Eu nao acredito em espirito nao acredito em alma . Nao acredito nas dominacoes evangelicas eu quero e trabalhar e ir a praia ou ir aos Hoteis com piscina oceanica e ver as meninas e ir ter com as meninas a que gosar a vida quando se pode depois de velho nao da para nada . Que tal ver as prostitutas na internet no site Classificados x e escolher uma prostituta e so experimentar fica viciado em prostituta . Para que serve as dominacoes evangelicas ? eu sei so serve para ganhar dinheiro dos fieis se deus quer que fale com o pessoal nao e preciso ter pastores . Eu nunca vi um pastor andar numa 4 L eles anda com carros bons sera que um pastor nao gosta de cu de prostituta ?

    The song is amazing but I just get the feeling that the lyrics are just dropped randomly.

    Listen to mystery of time and ghostlghts back to back and you'll get it

  47. N.... P....

    No entiendo que haya 125 pulgares abajo. Gente es un temazoooooo

  48. V.... D....

    The unique default of this song is to be a little short.

  49. R.... P....

    My new favorite metal band as of two months ago!

    R.... P....

    You have a lot of great stuff to dig back into!

  50. I.... ....

    I am confusion too

  51. L.... F....

    Simply Epic

  52. T.... A....

    a brilliant song :).

  53. J.... S....

    Poignant. Damn.

  54. D.... I....

    La traducción no esta mal, pero es un pelo... literal en algunos segmentos y en otros puntos necesitas pulirla un pelo.

    De todas formas, gracias por traducir la letra.

  55. E.... E....

    This made me drop some tears, this is one of those songs that made us touch the stars.

  56. J.... S....

    Holy shit. Eargasm! 😥

  57. a.... ....

    It would increase value if the cast performed the songs in front of green screen backgrounds of epic settings in costume, sort of a Jesus Christ Superstar type dance/vocal performance. Toby would get to wear his tights, and "fly" like Peter Pan, just for kicks. No offense, but audio alone is not that gratifying, at least not as gratifying as a musical number. You need to up the ante of entertainment value contained in an album. I need to see the songs acted out.

  58. J.... L....

    alguien que este conectado tengo esa duda?

  59. J.... L....

    son cristianos?

  60. W.... J....

    12 minute songs from tobias genius!!

  61. A.... ....

    Woooaa I am so gratefull I was born in time to not miss this amazing stuff!!

  62. A.... M....

    Que musica incrivel, começo sempre cantando e aí lembro que tem 12 minutos, desisto, bela composição como sempre, Tobias sempre arrasando.

  63. E.... ....

    this video is fuckin AWESOME

  64. A.... S....

    Este disco, tem alguns bons momentos, mas ele é notavelmente mais fraco que o antecessor, para mim, ele deveria ser uma historia diferente, o The Mistery of Time é perfeito se analisado como uma obra individual, as canções conversam uma com a outra, existe um sentimento de unidade muito forte entre elas. E neste disco é tudo muito disperso, como uma coletânea.

  65. C.... P....

    A masterpiece

  66. A.... S....

    This song fits Dark Souls too well.

    A.... S....

    Yes it does

  67. T.... ....

    Ghostlights is one of the best symphonic power metal albums in the last years.

  68. W.... B....

    And what if God is just an image in my head?

  69. b.... d....

    Dam, i thought this was Jorn Lande singing in a lot of it

  70. J.... g....

    Muito boa essa banda

  71. D.... D....

    Like Avantasia with their great theme:"Let the storm descend upon you".
    Since here in Spain, they want send us until shit.
    The American said the truth!?, in what sense!?, maybe like you can read in this lines, in some sense.Like when i´m writing and speaking, and with this performed sense in speaking.
    The darkness cannont stop me, and incluying me with mulets for the rest of my life.

  72. L.... R....

    Linda música

  73. a.... h....

    I PREFER THE TWO FIRST ALBUMS

  74. J.... P....

    79 people didnt shine their light into the darkness.

  75. A.... ....

    This is my favorite song. I have the lyrics memorized and sing it to myself all the time. 8:34 takes my breath away and kills me every time (in the best possible way). I think the song's about experiencing an intense spiritual/divine storm of enlightenment involving a direct connection with the dream world (I think Tobi calls it the spirit world in an interview somewhere) and not being quite able to process it all but wanting to try.

  76. C.... ....

    gracias por compartir esto, ojala se repitiera los 80cuando reinaba el metal!!!! que viva el metal siempre!!!

  77. C.... S....

    9:45 the best guitar solo i have ever heard. Not the fastest or longest... just the best.

  78. J.... C....

    Tobias Sammet - The Einstein of Metal genre

  79. I.... B....

    You gotta pray god ain't just a ghost light, wowwwwwwww

  80. P.... C....

    The best song in the world

  81. F.... ....

    Such an epic song! I hear it everywhere and everytime!

  82. E.... N....

    that man at 2.09 has a damn awsome singing voice!! wraauw!

  83. R.... T....

    my god, just love these genius lyrics

  84. S.... W....

    Ghostlights is the Seventh full-length album by Tobias Sammet’s Rock Opera Project Avantasia. This Studio Album was released 29 January 2016 and is on the Nuclear Blast Record Label. Sascha Paeth and Tobias Sammet were the Producers. The genre of this awesome \m/
    Rock Opera is a Mix of Hard Rock and Symphonic Metal and Power Metal! It Totally Rocks!! “Let The Storm Descend Upon You,” Track #2, is performed with the guest Vocalist Jørn Lande(“Temptation”), Ronnie Atkins(“Magician”), and Robert Mason(“Scientist 1”). The performers of the Rock Opera are: Tobias Sammet-Lead vocals on all tracks, additional keyboards & bass, Sascha Paeth-Lead Guitar(on tracks 1, 3-4, 6-8, 13), Rhythm Guitar, Bass, additional keyboards, engineering and mixing, Michael Rodenberg-Orchestration, Keyboards, & Mastering, Felix Bohnke-Drummer, Guest Instrumentalists: Bruce Kulick(Kiss)-Lead Guitar on tracks 9-10, 12, Oliver Hartmann(At Vance)-Lead Guitar on Tracks 2, 5, 9, 11,
    Guest Vocalists: Jørn Lande(Masterplan), Michael Kiske(Unisonic), Dee Snider(Twisted Sister), Geoff Tate(Queensrÿche), Marco Hietala(Tarot),
    Sharon den Adel(Within Temptation), Bob Catley(Magnum), Ronnie Atkins(Pretty Maids), Robert Mason(Warrant), and Herbie Langhans (Sinbreed). Ghostlights concludes the plot started on the previous album. The story follows a protagonist as he continues his journey with a group of scientists trying to find a way to align everybody’s personality so they can understand each other and make the world a better place. Soon, the protagonist realizes that aligning people is also a way of having control over them. These things that happen to the protagonist, Sammet leaves an open ending to the songs because at the end, Sammet said, “So that people can think about the things the happen in the story. You should be able to interpret what it means to yourself in the end.” And he also said that the album deals with questionable ideals you have in life. It depends on which philosophy of life that you have. Such ideals can be very different from each other. And it’s the distractions to find cross-fires on the way to find out what you really want from life.” This is rockin’ album and an awesome song! Sammet is a kick ass composer and Jørn singing vocals and the whole concept of this album is ethereal! I love it! Everyone Rock On!! 🤘🏻💋-Moderator-💋🤘🏻

  85. J.... H....

    Musical genius, in my opinion this is one of the greatest songs to ever be made.

  86. K.... V....

    so uplifting :)

  87. T.... F....

    Impossible to listen to this chorus and not sing along... LOUDLY!
    Epic on another level, Tobias did it again!

  88. P.... A....

    This song is simply incredible, amazing, one of the best song I ever listened.

  89. A.... V....

    +Metal Maestro it is.. i can`t stop hearing it...

  90. L.... B....

    37 Minions dont have a real light

  91. R.... ....

    Fantastic buildup, makes me want to sing along the entire time. That chorus though, not a huge fan of the "Shine your light into the darkness" part. Not that it's a bad thing to say, but to me it feels like they could've been catchier there. Maybe it sounds better live, I will look.

    R.... ....

    No...it didn't lol

  92. H.... d....

    Está padre la cancioncita. Un par de notas en la traducción que está buena de paso:

    "You're off to the light" means the light is where you are headed to or going towards. "Estás yendo hacía la luz" es lo que está diciendo.

    "I'm he who has always been" significa "yo soy el que ha existido desde siempre".

    Un "mantlepiece" es una parte de la chimenea -dentro de tu casa- que ayuda a expandir la luz del fuego y por ende calor; es como un deflector y sirve como un estante de pared pequeño al mismo tiempo. Se lo utiliza por lo general en tierras gélidas.

    "Strung-out" tiene diferentes significados pero en este caso es estar cansado/exhausto por addicción a las drogas. Es estar tan drogado que sigues "voladote" a pesar de que los efectos de la droga han menguado. Es como estar "Pacheco" en México, "armano" en Perú, "grifo" en Ecuador, "puesto o flipado" en España, etc.

    Allí están mis 2 centavitos de contribución Juan Karlos.

    H.... d....

    Hermano de Jesús hey que tal, gracias por el aporte, no entraba a ver los comentarios hacia buen tiempo y bueno, para esos casos estoy haciendo subtitulos digitales, así si puedo corregirlo y que quede mejor con algunas complicaciones que encuentro, como son europeos son de usar más palabras rebuscadas gracias.

  93. H.... ....

    1:03
    I feel like I'm fighting final boss in a game and nearly to win, wow goosebumps.

  94. M.... B....

    I LOVE everything Avantasia has written, but this song is the BEST!

  95. G.... ....

    uh boy,what a song.... einfach geil...

  96. B.... J....

    I would give this song a thousand likes if I could :-) THE BEST!

  97. B.... J....

    Great song, Great band ! :-)
