Avantasia
Everybody’s Here Until the End
[Verse 1: Tobias Sammet]
A strangeness in this chamber
I set foot in on my own
I hear the stillness whisper
That I am not alone
The dark is gently stroking
Over keepsakes in a dream
I wonder if sometimes I've done you, silence, proud of me
[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet]
There's a star that always guides me
Reason has it's burned away
But still I see it flare my way
Beacon me on through the pain
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet]
Everybody's here until the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I can feel you watching ovеr me on through the end
Till thе end of something that cannot cease
I believe, oh
All I know is you're without an end
[Verse 2: Roy Khan]
If growing up is showing I'm insusceptible to hurt
I'm afraid the growing bit's what I'm doomed to advert
And yet I'm gonna stand to waft the light of you
And care for those I'm trusted with the way you'll always do
[Pre-Chorus: Roy Khan, Tobias Sammet]
I will light another candle
You're the flame to never die
I'll lead us through another night
Through the dark, into the light
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet]
Everybody's here until the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I can feel you watching over me on through the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I believe, oh
All I know is you're without an end
[Bridge: Roy Khan]
The circle stays unbroken, though it moans
When we don't know where we're supposed to go
You're the storm to shake me up
You're the roll to wake me from bad dreams
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Tobias Sammet]
The guiding theme, it fades away
The end of an act, not the end of the play
And when the song is sung
And I take my bow in a fading light
[Interlude: Tobias Sammet]
Anybody here until the end?
Until the end of always
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet]
Oh, everybody's here until the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I can feel you watching over me on through the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I believe, oh
All I know is you're without an end
Everybody's here until the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I can feel you watching over me on through the end
Till the end of something that cannot cease
I believe, oh
All I know is you're without an end
[Outro: Roy Khan]
A strangeness in this chamber
I set foot on my own
Somehow I know that I am not alone
