Wastelands — Avantasia

A moment of glory The blink of an eye and it's all gone You hide in confinement Dark is the cell that you call home

We pretend to be blind everytime it hurts to see

You - you close your eyes To blink the night away At ease in the wastelands You - you're dead and blind You sanctify the way Blindfold in the wastelands

Don't tell me in pain The end doesn't justify the means Spado, ascetic It's easy to sermonize in jealousy

Now I'm off to life I'm changing sides Your final goodbye

You - you close your eyes To blink the tears away Love hurts in the wastelands You - you're old and blind You sacrifice it all Lost in the wastelands
