Savior In The Clockwork

Tobias Sammet's Avantasia · Other Songs - Tobias Sammet's Avantasia

I envision how you lie awake and agonize

Over ways to bear your day just every night

Re-alignment you're in need of so imploringly

It's the pace that we'll maintain for you



Oh every moment everybody's gonna think alike

Every second will be seized while every in-between

We'll erase to take the tangle from their memory

Maximizing one and all for you



Now into line bring them peace of

Mind by mind, set the pace for all mankind

Let us take away the spaces

In-between their given time



Time to run!

Savior in the clockwork tell me

For how long

Will I wait on the grind

Time flies on

(Time will fly on)

Savior in the clockwork take me back inside

In-between the time



Now am I half asleep or half unconscious,

Half adream?

I can't move as I am stuck in bright lucidity

I can feel and hear and see

But I won't comprehend

I see fire that I won't decipher



I see giant evil tower to a blackened sky

I feel blessed with evidence of what I can't define

Swinging blade of the lowering perpendicular

I see clarity I won't remember



Do I dream

Is it only fantasy

And matter just a thought I see

And time is all they need

To steal away eternity now



Time to run!

Savior in the clockwork tell me

For how long

Will I wait on the grind

Time flies on

(Time will fly on)

Savior in the clockwork take me back inside

In-between the time



You pry into a world too far above

Your head up in the haze

Journey to the birth of the first sun

Into the black womb of space

Father primal space, oh yeah

Who's drawn the light,



Standing at the door to epiphanic realization

A journey to the center of forever

To the mystery of creation



Don't you hear the voice: I'm with you

I'm everywhere and real

You can see me, you can hear me without credence

I'm what your hands can feel



God, I feel I've been away too long

I feel like I've been dreaming



If you'd open up your door to explanation

You would hear the voice of reason screaming

I've seen the ocean swallow the ancient harmony

And I've seen belief and craving swallow sanity

I feel my hand is led to ink between the lines

Tall stories legendising: figments of the lie



At crack of dawn hazy remains above my mind

(Raise your mind)

I scribble down those icons that I can't define

Will they demand account as I'd demand myself

(Raise your mind)

I'll never testify what no man comprehends



And they will tear to pieces what they can't define

(Raise your mind)

If you don't follow your self-preservation drive

They'll crucify the one who won't affiliate

(Raise your mind)

But decorate the children of their own ego's way



Time to run

Savior in the clockwork tell me

For how long

Will I wait on the grind

Time flies on

(Time will fly on)

Savior in the clockwork

Take me back inside

In-between the time



Time to run!

Savior in the clockwork tell me

For how long

Will I wait on the grind

Time flies on

(Time will fly on)

Savior in the clockwork take me back inside

In-between the time
