Promised Land - Avantasia, Jorn, Michael Kiske

Hey redeemer

Now what’s become of 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 and 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 scratch my back

And I scratch 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 and 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 broken dreams

Thousands of tragedies

Tried to run from their destiny

Like moths to a flame

Driven by vanity

They’ve been off to Jerusalem

Chasing a dream, calling on me

We’re just trading in needs

You’ve been facing heaven

You were lost and 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’ve been facing heaven

You were lost and left alone

You’re welcome to my home

Found another heaven

It was you who took my hand

Come into the promised land
