Reach Out for the Light
Avantasia Lyrics

Lord above why don't you tell me
Asking for guidance from a higher power

why I'm here in agony?
Questioning the reason for suffering and pain

I've been serving, I've been praying
Expressing dedication to religious faith

now I'm caught in misery.
Feeling trapped and overwhelmed by adversity

I've been praised by friar Jakob,
Receiving recognition from religious authority

I misused his confidence.
Betraying trust and making a mistake

Cheated by this work of evil
Deceived by demonic forces

feigning Anna's innocence.
Falsely portraying someone as guiltless

Oh what have I done?
Expressing regret and guilt

So many ways lead to the fallen one,
Acknowledging the existence of temptation and sin

Lucifer, fallen light.
Referring to Satan and his rebellion against God

What is going on?
Feeling confused and uncertain

We should bring salvation,
Promoting the importance of redemption

not give in to his temptation no!
Resisting the devil's influence

Read and preach the holy world
Advocating the study and teaching of scripture

and no forbidden lies that hurt.
Rejecting false teachings and harmful beliefs

I remember words of 'seven'.
Recalling a significant phrase or passage

Set me free sanity!
Appealing for mental and emotional liberation

Reach out for the light
Urging towards spiritual enlightenment

far beyond confines.
Transcending limitations and boundaries

You have read the magic lines
Interpreting symbols or metaphors with mystical significance

leading to the light in your mind
Discovering inner truth and illumination

What is right and what is wrong now?
Questioning moral ambiguity

Is it a trial of paradise?
Contemplating the existence of divine tests

Is Anna a witch or do they stick to an error?
Considering the possibility of false accusations or misunderstandings

What's the book and the seal inside?
Pondering hidden knowledge or secrets

Am I a cleric or maybe a sinner?
Reflecting on personal identity and morality

Unbeliever? Renegade?
Questioning the authenticity of faith or loyalty

Was it the devil who led me to 'seven'?
Speculating about external influences on one's choices

Oh redeemer is it all too late?
Appealing for forgiveness and salvation

I have been led by the smelling one,
Acknowledging the seductive lure of temptation

Tell me stranger, what have I done?
Asking for accountability and insight from others

In your mind?
Reiterating the importance of personal reflection and introspection
