Against the wind


Here I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea
Oh, I delve into the vault
Of my mind, a memory
When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak
Paling crescent in the sky
Pouring down its fading beam

I stand here all alone
I came here on my own
To reignite the inner blaze

Against the wind, against the grain
Open visor - arrows rain
I'm me and I do it my way
Don't you tell me what to be
Through my eyes you cannot see
I'm me and I'm going my way
Against the wind I'm going my way

I've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate
I've seen scarily faceless things
Where they scream, but never hear
Scraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed
The enticer never sleeps
Breathing doubt into your ear

I stand here all alone
I came here on my own
And you will not take hold on my creed

Against the wind, against the grain
Open visor - arrows rain
I'm me and I do it my way
Don't you tell me what to be
Through my eyes you cannot see
I am me and I'm going my way
Against the wind I'm going my way

And if you don't like what I do
Then it's not made for you
And if you get exasperated
With what I will, or I may, or I say - it's my way!

A thousand stars melt with the sea
Elysian fields reveal to me
This is the air I need to breathe - oh!

Against the wind, against the grain
Open visor - arrows rain
I am me and I do it my way
Don't you tell me what to be
Through my eyes you cannot see
I'm me and I'm going my way
Against the wind I'm going my way

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Avantasia is a symphonic metal/power metal project created by Tobias Sammet, vocalist and frontman of the power metal group Edguy. The project's title, a portmanteau of the words 'avalon' and 'fantasia', describes 'a world beyond human imagination' (a quotation from the booklet). Avantasia consists of a self-titled single, two full-length albums with the subtitle *The Metal Opera*, two EPs called *Lost in Space*, and the recently released *Scarecrow* trilogy. Sammet has involved numerous guests in the project, including Oliver Hartmann, Michael Kiske, Kai Hansen and Jorn Lande. Avantasia is considered one of the most important projects in the symphonic metal genre, appreciated for its epic melodies, fantasy lyrics and high-quality production. Among the most representative tracks are *The Great Mystery*, *Dying For An Angel* and *Starlight*.
