Avantasia, Geoff Tate - Here Be Dragons

See them talk insistantly You don’t get a word while you pretend Keep your stance despairingly And lock your world away Hide away Oh yeah Hide away Come with me Come with me, oh A carol from the edge of the world resounds Don’t be ashamed now as it carries your name In the streets of indifference they’re asleep anyway There be dragons There be magic There be shadow, there be rain A glimmer in the veil of haze It calls you down the rabbit hole Step in from Amusia Town For how long have they been abusing you You will not believe your eyes Marvel at the other side Hideaway ‘neath an illusion You believe, you’re deceived Till your eyes will agree Here be dragons Hideaway - poise in confusion What a night, what a show What a diablerie Here be dragons Now you feel like a soul in a plaything A hoop in the street beneath a dowel to beat And you ain’t got no choice Cause you know you ain’t free I know what it’s like cause you’re just like me Looking around: isolation! Not a woman, not a man Just the scorn of town again Tried to face the sun just like everyone You shared your dreams and promises Come right through the door For you’ll pine no more aimlessly Running from the devil you’ve been taught to know We reach out through your mind Await you inside Hideaway Delve into dreams unknown Make yourself at home There’ll be dragons You won’t be alone Hideaway Where the wild rose will turn its bloom To the light of the moon (There’ll) be unheard-of-wonder A spell on you Here be dragons Be astoundment and wonder It’s a world over yonder Here be not known Here be souls that abide you Here be tender just like you, oh Here be dragons Here be magic Here be just you and I There’ll be confusion When astounding illusion And the straight old world pother Flow into one another In the Moonflower Garden You see logic unpardoned Here you are freak Dare it! To be! The crazy and lonely And you’re turning the key You’ve been tucking away When they told you to hand Everything to allay your dreams Your longing on your way She felt that she is just a boy like others Nestled in a cozy small town life Kept it up until she’d leave for good When she ceased to try You could never really see his burden Who would tell just by an off-beat stance You would ask, but you’d await that moment And missed the final chance He’d meander down an old town pavement On a lonely bleak October night Why would anybody pour their poison Without keen insight She saw the world through eyes of innocent simplicity A pristine soul dragged in a dark world play Thereafter never spoke a word no more But eyes revealed why she’d float away Here be a world you hold inside Here be rebirth, here be unwind Here be unknown, or likes of you Here be the wharf, the ship of fools Afraid you might wake up there Enstranged, out of your mind And you won’t even know what’s left behind Hideaway ‘neath an illusion You believe, you’re deceived Till your eyes will agree: Here be dragons Hideaway, gape in confusion What a night, what a show, what a diablerie Here be dragons Hideaway ‘neath an illusion You believe, you’re deceived Till your eyes will agree: Here be dragons Hideaway, gape in confusion What a night, what a show, what a diablerie Here be dragons Here be dragons
