The haunting


I can't count the days I've days I've roamed
A stray ghost liked to wither on the vine
A paling tales of days long gone
I won't be untill you close your eyes

Sleep time
Someone's always by your side

A thousand nights we've been calling your name
Close your eyes but I won't go away
We're there for you
The cold embrace that you don't want to feel
Must not be but you know it is real
We're there for you

Don't you waste your time and try
To understand this figment of the lie

Don't breathe the word to anyone
By the time you phrase me I'll be gone

Sweet dreams
See you in the twilight zone
A thousand nights we've been calling your name
Close your eyes but I won't go away
We're there for you
The cold embrace that you don't want to feel
Must not be but you know it is real
We're there for you

Down I must contain the wayward fantasy
Where did all those wicked dreams come from
Pictures in the dark they seem so eerily
Winter night, I pray my mind is wrong

I'm the spot they refuse to conceive

A thousand nights we've been calling your name
Close your eyes but I won't go away
We're there for you
The cold embrace that you don't want to feel
Must not be but you know it is real
We're there for you

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE HAUNTING of AVANTASIA is also present in the album Ghostlights (2016)

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*.
