A Restless Heart and Obsidian Skies - Avantasia

A genuine soul to dwell on baleful grounds

Glances wandering around

In the darkness of the world

Clouds have closed a ring around the sky

While the old ones hear the chimes

Through the darkness of the world

A genuine man will realize

He must fawn upon the times

While he shouldn’t waste a word

Tender feet on stoney ground

See the young ones stray around

Through the darkness of the world

Sacred heart will you usher me now

For I’ll carry the lantern your way

For I’ll bring us home

Dark is the night, scarlet the moon

Sacred the light in the haze reflecting within

Blazing the trail

Be still my restless heart

Obsidian’s the sky

Inward you look as you halt

Be still restless heart

I’m on my way

Under obsidian skies

Wake to the sound of passing time

How could I quantify it

In the darkness of the world

Wake to the shadow of a dream

Nothing’s what it seems

As you brave the darkness of the world

Ghost lights and matter

You’ll know what is real

Perception and fact — all the same

Truth’s what you feel

And the wind and the rain

That were shaking the pane

Move onward along with the clouds

And you’re gazing in awe

At the ghost lights above

As if stars cut their way through the shroud

On and on and on…

Moon shines

Ghost lights

Oh they reach out for you

Blazing the trail under obsidian skies
