Theater Of Salvation

(album: Theater Of Salvation - 1999)

I've heard voices in my dream.
Made me stand up, helped me see.
Aaah... Oohhh...

Visions called him to awake his mind,
To find his horizon and find out what may be behind.
"Take what you need, you can find in the back of your soul!
Wake up the king in yourself to be mighty and bold!"

Seasons of doubt, fear and silent desires of life have gone by.
Visions have called back my longing for freedom tonight. Made me sigh...
Wasting my life till the day that the voice has appeared... Made me see:
I am the one that can make it through times of despair; I am free!

They built up a symbol of warning to give me fear,
To keep me away from paradise although it's so near,
Expecting I don't take a look at what is behind:
Freedom calling...

Take a look at the open gate
Walk on and don't be afraid
Free your mind in what they call
It's the heart of temptation

Take a look at the open gate (oh... Go the way!)
Walk on and don't be afraid
Free your mind in what they call
It's the heart of temptation

Night after night I remembered the word of the priest: "Thou shalt not!
Never give in to the promises made by the beast, so help me god!
Never give in to temptation or you'll burn in hell a long, long time!
Forever-eternal-salvation is what I can sell if you stay blind!"

But I wanna know what lies behind the gate of their hell.
And I won't believe all the stories that they always tell.
I got the mind to find out what is right and what's wrong.
Freedom calling...

Take a look at the open gate
Walk on and don't be afraid
Free your mind in what they call
It's the heart of temptation

Take a look at the open gate (oh... Go the way!)
Walk on and don't be afraid
Free your mind in what they call
It's the heart of temptation

Queen of mine, I long for you.
Tell me why to wait to find our joy
It's your wait for heaven's door,
Your fear that makes them grow
And let you forget today.

I'll never go
And I'll stay on your side.
They'll never know
What I give to you is a piece of paradise.

Heaven can wait, now I'm living
Heaven can wait forevermore.
Heaven can wait
I am to live like I want to also before I'll die.
Heaven can wait, you can't thrill me
Heaven can wait, we dance till we die
Heaven can wait
Welcome to the theater of salvation

Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I hear the man in black, his
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
He tries to keep me back. No!
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Lock up the gates to wisdom
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Too late! I've found the kingdom...

Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I see a band of angels.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling...
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
I do not fear the stories.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Freedom calling me...

Don't you see it? Don't you feel it?
Freedom calling...
