The Land of New Hope
Timo Tolkki's Avalon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're caught in the game of never
You have come a long way
To find your destiny
The dawn of new way has started
Close your eye and leave all behind
Pure of heart are the ones that can pass through my gate
There is a danger, the dark is always around
Come with me and open your hearts
What you'll see is not somethings you yet understand
I guard this land, it has always been this way
The dark is strong, but it has no place in here
This is the land of new hope
Pure of heart can make their home
It's hidden in your heart, where no one's searching for
There's so much to learn
Just make the turn
I'll show you the way to a new day
You've come home and you've been through much
What you have seen, is the price that you all did pay
But everything can start all over
Time is forever and it's here where we build our future
This is the land of new hope
Where pure of heart can make their home
It's hidden in your heart, where no one's searching for
There's so much to learn
Just make the turn
I'll show you the way to a new day
This is the land of new hope
Where pure of heart can make their home
It's hidden in your heart, where no one's searching for
When all lonely souls unite
Return to the light
Rejoice forever in you
The song, "The Land of New Hope" by Timo Tolkki's Avalon, paints an image of a mythical land that is a sanctuary for those who have come a long way to find their destiny. The lyrics reflect a message of hope and positivity by encouraging the listener to leave behind their old ways and follow the shining light. The gates of the land of new hope can only be passed through by the "pure of heart," and the journey towards the land of new hope is not without peril, as the dark is always around.
Through the lyrics, the songwriter reminds us that it is essential to guard our hearts and minds, to protect ourselves against harm, but once we reach our destination, we will find a place of peace and light. We see that there is always a new beginning and hope, despite the pain and hardships that one may have experienced. The pathway to the land of new hope requires letting go of the past and embracing a new beginning with a pure heart. As we take this journey, we will find a community of others who are also searching for peace, and when we unite our souls, we will "rejoice forever."

God the ending of this song is so epic! I must have replayed it, like 5 times in a row and it still hasn't gotten old. Michael Kiske was too pure for this Earth. What a singer.
