Promised Land — Avantasia

Hey redeemer Now what's become on me taken in by promise awakening in grief

Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes

God gave his word just to let us down Where is he now?

You've been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land

You scratched my back and I scratched yours It s you who makes decisions I just open up the doors

Whining in the gutter They forget their sanctity Welcome to my clockwork Vanity machinery

You gave your word You let me down What am I now

You've been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land

Oh as far as the eye can see They re bent in submission Empty inside An army of scarecrows like me Thousands of brokens dreams Thousands of tragedies Tried to run from their destiny

Like moths to a flame Driven by vanity They been off to Jerusalem Chasing a dream Calling on me We re just trading in needs

You've been facing heaven You were lost to left alone You re welcome to my home and Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land
