Runaway Train Lyrics


Goodbye
Your pocket full of dreams
Your mind in a daze
Keep on chasing rainbows
Fly high
Leave the past behind
The dark road you take bears no escapeIn a world of grand illusions
Where love is just a dream
You gotta make your sacrifices
Time to pick your poisonThe fool is he who is noble minded
And bellies up to poverty
He's not a king in the world of diamonds
Paling into oblivionI lay down my soul for glory
I've given a life away
Don't know if I am sorry
Blind me, blind meDon't know where I'll be going
I gotta get away
From the pain of recollection

Drawn into the faintHang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
No turning back
Hang on to a runaway train
Take me awayIf I'm a stranger to myself
Then I better gotta stay away
Even better gotta get away, get away
Time to pick my poisonFeel the devil sitting in my neck
Straight ahead into the unknown
Oh father I forgive you for I
Don't know what I'm doingIt's only human nature
To keep away from pain
Take a train to ecstasy oh
Ride on, ride onInhale the scent of heaven
Respire the smell of fame
You've been to hell and back
You can't change things anyway, noI hang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
No turning back
I hang on to a runaway train
Take me awayReaching out to rule the world
you'll watch the mirror shatter
As you'll be dazzled by the sight
Once only diamonds matteredHow can you justify the way
When you wake up screaming
Will you pretend that you were blind
When you were really seeingYour image everywhere
The looking glass: a sheet of ice
It's thick enough to dance on
In a frozen realm of liesBut the ice will break
And you will scream repenting
Oh boy the ice will break
You'll just feel your heart rendingRiding on to a world of funny flowers
Riding on to the white wide world
If coming back would hurt my pride
I rather take another ride
Riding on, winter on the mirror
Riding on into the unknown
If I'll awake in pain one day
I gotta catch just one more trainDays gone by
Who'd wanna live forever
On our knees up your road
Paved with good intentions
Fly high
Where angels can't breathe no more
Some dare to go blind
Some stay behindI hang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
No turning back
I hang on to a runaway train
Take me awayHang on to a runaway train
No turning back
Tethered to a runaway train
Take me away
Torpid in the wind and rain
in the wind and rain
I hang on to that runaway train

Avantasia, from Germany, is the side-project of Edguy singer Tobias Sammet, founded in 1999. Two concept albums were released (The Metal Opera, The Metal Opera Pt. II), their structures similar to that of an opera. Both can be classified as power metal and/or symphonic metal. After the second album, Sammet announced that there would not be any more Avantasia albums. However, in January 2008 a third album was released, titled The Scarecrow. On November 16th 2007 two 6-track albums Lost in space Part 1 and Lost in space Part 2 were released. On April 2nd 2010 two new full-length albums were released, The Wicked Symphony and Angel Of Babylon, completing the Scarecrow Trilogy. In March 2011 the first Avantasia live CD and DVD called The Flying Opera were released. The contents were based on the footage taken during The Scarecrow tour in 2008, recorded on Wacken Open Air (Germany) and Masters of Rock (Vizovice, Czech Republic) music festivals.
