VERSE 1 (Gabriel)
Days have come, winters have gone
and we gambled like siblings in Paradise.
I was your knight, holding you tight
as a brother when I saw your crying eyes.
Time went by and we had to say goodbye.

PRE-CHORUS 1
Staring up to the clouds above
Children so little and sad.
Hoping the [E/G#]saints could help one day
Lead us together again.
Am G F Dm7 E | E7 F G
Holding the key to the alley of dreams still in hands!

CHORUS
Time telling me to say farewell
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we’ll be free, for no more farewell
Time telling me to say farewell
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we’ll be free, for no more farewell

VERSE 2 (Anna)
Stepbrother tell me where have you been
when they brought me to this godforsaken place.
Sign of the cross – they took me away
for healing with herbs by the way of grace.
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames.

PRE-CHORUS 2 (Gabriel)
I have been caught in a cage of despair.
My heart as a monk’s cell so empty and bare.
Am G F Dm7 E | E7 F G
But no holy water can make me forget you again!

CHORUS
Time telling me to say farewell
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we’ll be free, for no more farewell
Time telling me to say farewell
but I know that I would fight hell and I know: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we’ll be free, for no more farewell

[Pre-Verse]

[Verse 1]

Hey redeemer now what`s become of me?
Taken in by promise, awakening in grief
Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize
A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

God gave His word just to let us down, where is He now?

You’ve been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone, you’re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land

[Pre-Verse]

[Verse 2]

You scratched my back and I scratched yours
It’s you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors
Whining in the gutter they forget their sanctity
Welcome to my clockwork vanity machinery

[Pre-Chorus]

You gave your word, you let me down what am I now?

You’ve been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone, you’re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land

Oh as far as the eye can see
They’re bent in submission, empty inside
An army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams
Thousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny
Oh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity
They’ve been off to Jerusalem, chasing a dream, calling on me
We’re just trading in needs

[Pre-Verse] in place of the guitar solo

x2

You’ve been facing heaven
You were lost and left alone, you’re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land

You shed draconian love
you shed draconian 2x

[VERSE 1]
Welcome to your way seemingly endless as I take your wings
The world through caleidoscope eyes untill you unlearn what you keep inside

Those innocent eyes refracting the light for a never-sang song
Till the cold horizon gonna wait its turn wait its turn no more

[PRE-CHORUS]
Tell me how should I embrace like roses we’ll wither on the vine
Why should I bide my time If it flies away sometime

Where are you now? Where are you now? Leaving me down here Lost in the waves? Hey, hey, hey

When will God explain This Draconian love You shed draconian love 2x

Where do I go? Where are you now? Selling me love Through fiery rain, Angel

When will you explain this Draconian love It’s all Draconian love 2x

[VERSE 2]

Infiltrate us with mercy Bait us with sympathy Blind us with love
We’re lost in the clouds walking by But some of us rain Into what they feel

Like a grain of nothing I feel cast to the wind Of a feeling good breeze
Of an onward cause Of an unborn will Whatever that may mean

[PRE-CHORUS]
Tell me how should I embrace like roses we’ll wither on the vine
Tell me why should I bide my time If it flies away sometime

2x

Where are you now? Where are you now? Leaving me down here Lost in the waves? Hey, hey, hey

When will God explain This Draconian love You shed draconian love 2x

Where do I go? Where are you now? Selling me love Through fiery rain, Angel

When will you explain this Draconian love It’s all Draconian love 2x

Aspiration and tears Heartache and fears – Draconian love You shed draconian love

Unrequited love Down on my knees – Draconian love It’s all draconian

(silent)

Where are you now? Where are you now? Leaving me down here Lost in the waves?

When will God explain This Draconian love

[FINAL CHORUS] 2x

Where are you now? Where are you now? Leaving me down here Lost in the waves? Hey, hey, hey

When will God explain This Draconian love You shed draconian love 2x

Where do I go? Where are you now? Selling me love Through fiery rain, Angel

When will you explain this Draconian love It’s all Draconian love 2x

(a cappella)

Where do I go?
Where are you now?
Selling me love
Through fiery rain

[VERSE 1]
Another star has fallen without sound
Another spark has burned out in the cold
Another door to the barren standing open
And who is there to tell me not to give in, not to go?

How could I know?, how could I know?
That I’d get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know? how could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

[VERSE 2]
I’m crawling down the doorway to the badlands
And kicking down all your hurdles to the black
and all the damage fading in the rear-view mirror
And the demons are calling me, they’re dragging me away

How could I know?, how could I know?
That I’d get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know? How could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

[Em7b5/G]Lost in space, lost in time
[Em7b5/G]Lost in space, lost in time
[Em7b5/G]Lost in space
Bb Bb Bb C n.c.

[FINAL CHORUS]
n.c. (in original key)
How could I know, how could I…
How could I know, How could I know
That I’ll get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know? How could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Forever…

[Intro:]
C#m ‘ B ‘ C#m ‘ C#m ‘ B ‘ C#m

[Believers:]
Fire falling from the sky

Rage of god is coming down

Armageddon’s drawing nigh

Sinner cry ! Heathen die !
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
In the fiery rain

Fire falling from the sky

Rage of god is coming down

Armageddon’s drawing nigh

Sinner cry ! Heathen die !
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
Now the time has come, the end’s begun
And the only one will come

[Gabriel:]
It has been foretold
By the [Am/E]visions of the old
And the madness in their eyes
Said his [Am/E]angel will arise
That’s what they know : “Holy Lord it’s over, oh god
We have done no wrong
So we[Am/E] go where we belong
To the neverending dream
But for [Am/E]those who lived in sin”
They claim to know : “Holy Lord it’s over, oh god”

[Pope:]
Hey Angel, can you tell me

Will you lead us to the place

Full of heat, in the fire
For we only brought disgrace

[Lugaid:]
He is not the one. If they only knew

[Bishop:]
Hey Angel, will you take us

To the judgement of his rage

Hey will we die
For we couldn’t close the gate

[Lugaid:]
To the knowledge as they have been told

[Gabriel:]
I don’t know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Baby[B/D#]lon the scarlet whore has come

We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don’t we know : We are the angels
It’s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don’t we know : We are the angels
It’s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away

[Pope:]
Redeemer, devastion

Hope it only has been ment

For the sin of the dreamer
who broke the low you’d sent

[Lugaid:]
He is not the one. If they only knew

[Jakob:]
Hey, don’t know but i wondered:

When we lost the seal again

Maybe stoned by the incense
Do we rise or just descent

[Lugaid:]
He is not the one. If they only knew

[Jakob:]
I don’t know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Baby[B/D#]lon the scarlet whore has come

We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don’t we know : We are the angels
It’s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don’t we know : We are the angels
It’s revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away

[Gabriel:]
Once I have been [A/E]lost in what they [B/E]told me to believe
[B/D#]Until I felt in burning deep inside to set my spirit free
And I escaped to a[A/E]nother world to [B/E]help the little men
who [B/D#]make me plunge into philosophy – to feel my mind again...

No one left to hold me tight – on the
`real`other side [E/G#]but her [G/B]in chains
I had been alone till the [A/E]madman come along
With the [B/E]knowledge and silver long beard
[B/D#]He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free
Helping me to find – oh – the [A/E]mind and the soul
They’ve been [B/E]trying to hide away…[B/D#]
And he promised we’d help Anna if I’d help him to
go all the way

[Lugaid:]
Go all the way into the world of minds
Op – en the gate and do not close be – hind
Prevent them from hiding the light away
Pre[E/G#]vent them from tellin’ us tales
Or the end of all they scare us with will be a
million empty brains…

[Gabriel:]
I could bring you what you told me
The seal they need to close the gate forever
But still I haven’t found a meaning
Anna will we ever be together

[Regrin:]
You’ve been [C#/F]fighting for your soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day you’ll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What they [C#/F]call a fantasy
It is nothing but a key
To the world that now you’re in
That they call a wicked dream

[Elderane:]
When you’re [C#/F]walking on your own
When you’re broken and alone
You may feel us from inside –
on the other side of life.
[C#/F]Ohohohoh…
Ohoh[C#/F]ohoh...

[Gabriel:]
||: I’ve been fighting for my soul
[C#/F]And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day we’ll understand

Oh, [C#/F]walking on my own
When I’m broken and alone
I may [C#/F]feel you from inside

Heading for another life

Dreamers come and go
But a dream’s forever
Freedom for all minds
Let us go together
Neverending ways
Got to roam forever
Always carry on ooooooh

Walking down a misty road into the unknown
Heavy winds may blow into our faces
You can’t kill the dream in killing the dreamer can’t tear it down
Always carry on

Dreamers come and go
But a dream’s forever
Freedom for all minds
Let us go together
Neverending ways
Got to roam forever
Always carry on

I’ve seen dreamers come and go…

Tuning: Standard EADGBE

(Intro)

C Am Em G x2

I sold my soul for diamonds
And reason for acclaim
Been begging for white angels
To blow my mind away

Been growing funny flowers
Where roses never grew
I stayed awake all night
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you

I tried to take the sun and I went blind
God help me to erase you from my mind
I’m growing cold

And the night is yet to come
Anyone tell me is this

(Chorus)
The way it’s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I’m way too complicated
For you to lean on me

I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I’m blowing out the flame

Self-pity gave me shelter
I always hid away in vice
Dyslexic, torn and tattered
I tried to read the signs

You never tried to take a look
At the one I’d have died to be
Now it seems you don’t see me at all

Was it all worth it
Visions holding sway
When the real thing got lost along the way
Yes anyone tell me is this

(Chorus)
The way it’s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I’m way too complicated
For you to lean on me

I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I’m blowing out the flame

(Solo)

Yes anyone tell me is this

(Chorus)
The way it’s meant to be
Lost and isolated
I’m way too complicated
For you to lean on me

I play a losing game
I cried in desperation
Mental devastation
I’m blowing out the flame

Intro: Eb Bb F Gm



A lonely boy, a handful of dreams
Cold wind blows through a heart wired-in
Open skies he would explore
No there ain’t no mastery
Of a passion and a deep blue love
Yearn to see far away places
One day he’d feel two hearts collide
In his eyes tears and desire
But he prays and he swears every night
One day scales will fall from her eyes
(Just with a dream)
Just with [(G)]a dream and with a song
On my own I may stumble and fall
It don’t matter at all when you’re blessed with
Just what’s yet to come, what’s yet to come

Chorus:
Burning feet on the ground
Got my head in the clouds
You’re out to find Arcadia
And you know you will stand
What you can’t comprehend
Journey to Arcadia
The more I’ve seen I[(C)] understand
That there ain’t nothing that I know
As I awake on padded ground
The final curtain of the show

Dogs run barking
And I don’t hear no sound
And the sky is as blue
As eyes have never seen it
Then I remember
What I’d have been dying for
Faith rescue my dream
From a role that I’ve been put in
On their screen

(Your eyes)
And as I’ll look into your eyes
We’re at the crack[(F)] of dawn[(C)]
Life will stop telling lies
And destiny will know
It’s just you and I

Chorus:
Burning feet on the ground
Got my head in the clouds
You’re out to find Arcadia
And you know you will stand
What you can’t comprehend
Journey to Arcadia
The more we see we u[(C)]nderstand
That there’s a lot that we don’t know
As you awake on padded ground
The final curtain of the show

Far from the eye but close to heart
No matter how we try
Can’t repel the counterpart
Our common bond we can't defy
Solo: Sascha Paeth (Oh, wishing on an angel)

I’ve seen them standing at the crossroads
When they were waiting for a sign
And they unlearned to face the silence
As they unlearned to turn inside
You’re turning to the sky
And you’re dying for an angel
If you want it bad enough, see those eyes
That’s where two glances collide

Learn to breathe, learn to crawl
Learn to stand, walk and fall
Learn to lose and to love, to believe, to rise above
Love is more than to love

Solo: Bruce Kulick


[(F5] [G#5)]
Burning feet on the ground
Got my head in the clouds
You’re out to find Arcadia
And you know you will stand
What you can’t comprehend
Journey to Arcadia
(Tobias Sammet)
The more I’ve seen I understand
That there ain’t nothing that I know now
As I awake on padded ground
The final curtain of the show

NOTE: for best results on the chorus chords, release the string(s) played by your index
finger on “oh” in “over”, and reapplying it on “ver” in “over” on the Dm, F, and C chords.

Never been told my prayers would be answered

Wherever I go I see you around

Never been told that something that beautiful

Would build me up to let me down

Waiting up on the roof, waiting up in the rain

Just to catch a glimpse of your face

Even when you’re around, still I’m out of sight, out of sound

In your world I’m out of place

Carry me over, carry me over

Carry me over now

Carry me over, carry me over

Carry me over now

You’re like a ghost that I can’t let go

You follow every step that I take

Never thought someone could be too close to you

Now across the street is miles away

And now I might as well, be the man in the moon

I am watching but you don’t seem aware

But I won’t be around,

I’ll be out of sight, out of sound

Someone’s gotta wait somewhere

Carry me over, carry me over

Carry me over now

Carry me over, carry me over

Carry me over now

(Bridge) G, Am, F, C x2

Carry me over, carry me over

Carry me over now

Carry me over, carry me over

Carry me over now

(repeat till end, last chord is F)

Intro:

D Bb F C
D Bb F F

When I was sent to walk this long cold way
I’d never meant to take it all this far
Nobody told me I was bound to stray
You gave me visions and cut out this part

When the journey is over
Then what will remain
But a churchyard of angels

Don’t need no glory
The bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all
As I hang on the edge

Don’t need no glory
Till the river’s run dry
I won’t cry for sympathy as I
Hang on the edge

When your were shackles chances passed me by
I’ve broken free
Now I’m free falling
Laid down my arms as you laid down the lie:
Those words you didn’t say when I was calling

Fingers bleed onto the ivory
They dance on the keys
To a churchyard of angels

Don’t need no glory
The bottle and I
Don’t need no sympathy at all
As I hang on the edge

Don’t need no glory
Till the river’s run dry
I won’t cry for sympathy as I
Hang on the edge
