Avantasia - Runaway Train lyrics

Goodbye Your pocket full of dreams Your mind in a daze Keep on chasing rainbows Fly high Leave the past behind The dark road you take bears no escape In a world of grand illusions Where love is just a dream You gotta make your sacrifices Time to pick your poison The fool is he who is noble minded And bellies up to poverty He's not a king in the world of diamonds Paling into oblivion I lay down my soul for glory I've given a life away Don't know if I am sorry Blind me, blind me Don't know where I'll be going I gotta get away From the pain of recollection Drawn into the faint Hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain No turning back Hang on to a runaway train Take me away If I'm a stranger to myself Then I better gotta stay away Even better gotta get away, get away Time to pick my poison Feel the devil sitting in my neck Straight ahead into the unknown Oh father I forgive you for I Don't know what I'm doing It's only human nature To keep away from pain Take a train to ecstasy oh Ride on, ride on Inhale the scent of heaven Respire the smell of fame You've been to hell and back You can't change things anyway, no I hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain No turning back I hang on to a runaway train Take me away Reaching out to rule the world you'll watch the mirror shatter As you'll be dazzled by the sight Once only diamonds mattered How can you justify the way When you wake up screaming Will you pretend that you were blind When you were really seeing Your image everywhere The looking gla**: a sheet of ice It's thick enough to dance on In a frozen realm of lies But the ice will break And you will scream repenting Oh boy the ice will break You'll just feel your heart rending Riding on to a world of funny flowers Riding on to the white wide world If coming back would hurt my pride I rather take another ride Riding on, winter on the mirror Riding on into the unknown If I'll awake in pain one day I gotta catch just one more train Days gone by Who'd wanna live forever On our knees up your road Paved with good intentions Fly high Where angels can't breathe no more Some dare to go blind Some stay behind I hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain No turning back I hang on to a runaway train Take me away Hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain in the wind and rain I hang on to that runaway train
