Sign of the Cross Lyrics


From a world of reign they comeIn a world of mammon we have found it all
Fighting for pride and for gold
But the key to the reign, to the ultimate control
Wisdom of the oldWe have been elect to drain the wine
Of Gnosis to hide it and pray
Got to save our children from the beast
We are on the wayRemaining in darkness
The land of salvation will drown
And when we'll have vanished
Slavery will take your freedom downSeven eyes to be blind forever in time
Sign of the cross
Hell arise, castigation under the sign
Sign of the cross
Make us drown in altar wineIn the heart of justice called Horeb long ago
Moses got carvings in stone
Imposed to judge those who do not fear
The only, the holy, the LordThe blood of anger and pain
Ink of the Old Testament

I know they'll end their crusade
Drown in the blood of the lambRemaining in darkness
The land of salvation will drown
And when we'll have vanished
Slavery will take your freedom downSeven eyes to be blind forever in time
Sign of the cross
Hell arise, castigation under the sign
Sign of the cross
Make us drown in altar wineYou have been the chosen one
So welcome to this place
Vandroiy's told us you would come
To help us win the race
Bring back the seal from the men
Who don't know what they doSeemed to be a fool without and own way of life
But you've been a sleeping mind
And you woke up on time
You've got the power to save us and finally youA dream is forever
(All these colors, fantasy)
The land of salvation can't drown
These enchanting colors
(All these colors, fantasy)
Who could have the might to tear it down?Seven eyes to be blind forever in time
Sign of the cross
Hell arise, castigation under the sign
Sign of the crossSeven eyes, follow the sign
Sign of the cross
Hell arise, follow the sign
Sign of the cross

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.
