Artist/Band: Tobias Sammet's Avantasia
Lyrics for Song: Black Orchid
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Tobias Sammet's Avantasia



I never wanted guidance

To tell me where to find

A light in the darkness

Cause the dark I'd push aside

No time for dreaming of a distant paradise

No time for tales of good and evil



Another correlation: as above so below

Another analyzing where illusions fail to show

The face of the maker who'd leave you alone

Without a sense of comprehension



When the meadow, in front of my eyes, will have dried away

Will my senses wither like flowers on my grave

Will this wave of becoming flow into the void of time



The final hour:

When Never and Now become one

Will I find the orchid?

The final hour:

Door to the garth of eternity?

Or withered orchid meadows?



Everybody's praying

But what if God is just a threat

And everybody's straying?

If only they would just forget

Everybody's craving

For a ghost light in the haze:

You'll lose your minds one after another



Everybody's craving

For what doesn't have a name or a face

So reason could fit it in the frame

In quest for the orchid:

A glimmer in the daze

Till I awake to the sound of rigour



What if that meadow in your mind is just a fantasy?

And if it wanted to be seen, why must you believe?



Will this wave of becoming flow into the void of time



The final hour

When Never and Now become one

Will I find the orchid?

The final hour

Door to the garth of eternity?

Or withered orchid meadows?



Black orchid

Strange and beautiful

Oh black orchid I must find you



I remember that morning

He had to be told

What he couldn't remember

When he'd spoken to the wall



And I gave to repression

What I must not have seen

What even believers

Must unlearn to believe



The final hour

When Never and Now become one

Will I find the orchid?

The final hour

Door to the garth of eternity?

Or withered orchids?



The final hour

When Never and Now become one

Will I find the orchid?

The final hour

Door to the garth of eternity?

Or withered black orchid meadows?
