Avantasia - Scales Of Justice Lyrics






Predetermination, belief
Veracity of incidents
Reconciliation
Between justice and tomorrow
You're innocent

It's only human to just close your eyes
Blinding fury, part of paradise
Heaven justifies

To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even

You owe the power and your pace
To the brute that's running after you
Humiliation's growing hate
Righteous anger driving you

Cut off the hand
That tries to keep me back
Blinding fury, a piece of paradise
Cause heaven justifies

To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even

Just close your eyes, just look away
What you don't want to know
Ain't gonna hurt you
Time passes by, we all die anyway
And no nothing remains
Whatever you say, whatever you do

To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
At the scaffold scales held even
To take your eyes off the drag
Walking to the block
Look away, scales held even

  1. C.... A....

    1:06 poweeerrrrrr
    3:02 I love music

  2. O.... B....

    Sounds like an Yngwie Malmsteen hard rock song but without his abussive guitar shredding XD

  3. L.... R....

    Fantástico

  4. J.... V....

    Very good song

  5. C.... Z....

    Is it just me or this intro sounds exactly like "The beast and the harlot" by A7X?

    C.... Z....

    Yeah, it sounds just like it. Just on a lower register.

  6. P.... S....

    tim ripper? I thought it was Thomas Rettke

  7. M.... N....

    taking nothing from ripper, but forget not master Tobias who's responsible for crafting the fine metal masterpiece to showcase Owens.

    M.... N....

    Sorry for the late response. Thank you, though! So many people rip on Tobi when he's the reason we have Avantasia.

  8. N.... N....

    Tim Owens is GOD ! \m/

  9. M.... H....

    kick the ass beautyfull

  10. R.... M....

    ripper is one of the best metal singer in the world well after halford the metal god maybe this song is made for both

  11. B.... H....

    Ripper! \m/

  12. H.... D....

    R.I.P my ears ! 😫

  13. l.... B....

    RIPPER OWENS RULES .... YEAAAAAAAAAA

  14. a.... ....

    Blinding fury!!!!!

  15. T.... i....

    ears melted..... i had never really taken ripper seriously.... how wrong i was,

  16. T.... ....

    Ripper is such a good singer ;) I still dont understand why was kicked out of Judas :/ Sure he made the band a little different that befor, but he is not Rob !?! I think that was his only mistake... And i dont want to start talking about Iced Earth

    T.... ....

    @TributeMr He wasn't really kicked out of Judas. Once Rob started to get back in the band, he simply stepped away cause he always knew he was in the band until Rob and the guys get back together.

    T.... ....

    +LinkyHYC he is perfect I think tobias is angry to him because tim ripper owens is so perfect

    T.... ....

    +TributeMr Owens is a master, but i don't like the Iced Earth era with him, Barlows WAS iced earth, and now the new singer is his perfect replace, but owens simply not.

    T.... ....

    +alevd14 Honestly the glorious burden was a good album and tim really nailed it. But yeah, barlow will always be missed.

  17. R.... F....

    Balança da Justiça

    Predeterminação, crença
    Veracidade dos incidentes
    Reconciliação
    Entre justiça e amanhã
    Você é inocente

    É apenas humano você fechar seus olhos
    Fúria cegando, parte do paraíso
    O Céu justifica

    Para desviar seus olhos do rastro
    Caminhe para o bloco
    No cadafalso, as libras estavam equilibradas
    Tire seus olhos do rastro
    Caminhando para o bloco
    Veja ao longe, as libras estavam equilibradas

    Você deve o seu poder e o seu passo
    Para o bruto que te persegues
    Humilhação vinda do ódio crescente
    Fúria virtuosa lhe conduz

    Corte a mão
    Que tenta manter-me atrasado
    Fúria cegando, um pedaço do paraíso
    Porque o céu justifica

    Para desviar seus olhos do rastro
    Caminhe para o bloco
    No cadafalso, as libras estavam equilibradas
    Tire seus olhos do rastro
    Caminhando para o bloco
    Veja ao longe, as libras estavam equilibradas

    Apenas feche seus olhos, apenas olhe para longe
    O que você não quer saber
    Não pode machucar você ainda
    O tempo passa, todos vamos morrer de qualquer jeito
    E não nada restará
    Não importa o que digas, não importa o que faças

    Para desviar seus olhos do rastro
    Caminhe para o bloco
    No cadafalso, as libras estavam equilibradas
    Tire seus olhos do rastro
    Caminhando para o bloco
    Veja ao longe, as libras estavam equilibradas

  18. D.... ....

    2:28-2:55... BEST PART ;)

    D.... ....

    0:00 - 5:57 better :)

  19. R.... C....

    Holy shit! Sounds like Dio reborn awesome!

    R.... C....

    Reuben Chandler He is in The Dio Disciples. Sounds like Dio and Rob Halford. He filled in for Judas Priest when Halford left. Tim is a superb singer with a great vocal range.

  20. m.... s....

    the best "avantasia" song!

  21. E.... ....

    I heard it live with Thomas Rettke (Heaven's Gate) three days ago in Brazil. Absolutely awesome! It blown my mind away!

  22. J.... ....

    I knew it was ripper the second the vocals started.

  23. d.... ....

    even worst than andi deris? i dont think so

  24. C.... V....

    What my name? THE RIPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. 1.... ....

    You're not the first one to mix up Scheepers and the Ripper...

  26. Y.... S....

    /watch?v=MuKydrGz7zc

    Ripper @ 1:00

  27. A.... ....

    The opening to that was ridiculously awesome...I tried to emulate but just busted my throat. The man has real talent.

  28. Y.... S....

    Ten Thousand Strong, nuff said.

  29. Y.... S....

    /watch?v=s_uDyK113Cw

  30. A.... ....

    TIM "RIPPER" OWENS POWER METAL!!!!

  31. J.... D....

    You've never heard Jorn Lande (who also sings on this album) I assume.

  32. D.... ....

    singer sounds like Dio

  33. S.... ....

    I tried singing this.

    Rest well, vocal chords. I'll see you on the other side.

  34. M.... ....

    Fuck I've been sure that Ralf Sxheepers is singing this song...

  35. A.... ....

    Ripper, what a voice, I loved his vocals in Iced Earth.

  36. J.... H....

    he is similar and that's why he's in Dio's deciples

  37. F.... L....

    HOLY SHEEEEEEEEEEHHHH THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

  38. M.... K....

    Just because Ripper does something Dio didn't do (he died in 2010, in case you didn't know), doesn't mean he doesn't have almost the same tone of voice ;)

  39. M.... ....

    What??? Dio doesn't do the high screams.

  40. L.... ....

    Check some of his Heaven And Hell version, the begining where he sings the riff is really similar to Dio's one too ^^

  41. J.... ....

    It reminds me of the beginning of Mysteria by Edguy. It seems that Tobi couldn't get away from such an epic song! haha

  42. J.... ....

    It's not just you lol. In fact, Olli Hartmann, one of the guitarists for Avantasia (just in case you didn't know :P ) sounds a LOT like RJD, especially in songs like Sign of the Cross and The Seven Angels. So I thought this was Olli at first, but then I saw "Tim 'Ripper' Owens" in the booklet for this album, and I was like: wow. lol

  43. M.... K....

    Is it just me, or does Tim Owens really sound exactly like Ronnie James Dio?

  44. m.... ....

    Fuckin' song like Ripper Owen' Judas Priest great period!
    A great singer for an awesome song.
    And this beautiful break of Sascha, pure genius!

  45. P.... ....

    ive said this before....but ill say it again...the scream in the begging holds indescribable amounts of awesome......so epic

  46. M.... T....

    Ripper well.. Just Rips everything appart here. Haha FUCkn awesome
