[Verse 1]
G#m
   Open my eyes
E               F#
 and see my bleeding wounded hands...
G#m                E              F#
   Feeling the pain too hard to stand.
To stand...
Bm
  Caught in the 'now and here'
      A
while they are on the way.
Bm
  Hiding imagination,
A
 leading us astray...

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind.
           Bm A   G
Sanity can be the toll
D                      G    A    Bm
leading to the core of your soul.

[Chorus]
C#m
   We are the power inside,
A             B
 we bring you fantasy.
C#m                           A    B
   We are the kingdom of light and dreams,
C#m               A     B
gnosis and life.. Avantasia!

gnosis and life.. Avantasia!

[Verse 2]
G#m             E        F#
   Walking along the icy gallery of pain.
G#m                 E                F#
   Tell me now: What can keep the flame alive?
Bm                    A
  Lack of imagination raising up the tower
Bm
  where they hold our souls
   A
to take away the power.

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Use your mind!
You will leave the flesh dimensions behind.
           Bm A   G
Sanity can be the toll
D                      G    A    Bm
leading to the core of your soul.
