Biography

Avantasia, from Germany, is the side-project of Edguy singer Tobias Sammet, founded in 1999. Two concept albums were released (The Metal Opera, The Metal Opera Pt. II), their structures similar to that of an opera. Both can be classified as and/or . After the second album, Sammet announced that there would not be any more Avantasia albums. However, in January 2008 a third album was released, titled The Scarecrow. On November 16th 2007 two 6-track albums Lost in space Part 1 and Lost in space Part 2 were released. On April 2nd 2010 two new full-length albums were released, The Wicked Symphony and Angel Of Babylon, completing the Scarecrow Trilogy. In March 2011 the first Avantasia live CD and DVD called The Flying Opera were released. The contents were based on the footage taken during The Scarecrow tour in 2008, recorded on Wacken Open Air (Germany) and Masters of Rock (Vizovice, Czech Republic) music festivals.

    Lyrics
    Days had come, winters had gone
    And we gambled like siblings in paradise
    I was your knight, holding you tight
    As a brother when I saw your crying eyes
    Time went by and we had to say goodbye

    Lyrics
    I am the master of the game
    that made a fool of you
    I'm watching from the highest tower
    You've got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony
    and I've got the power

    Lyrics
    I'm just a loser in the game of love
    I'm just an stray boy in the shade
    And how I wish to know what love is like
    To find someone to contemplate
    There's a voice in a million answers

    Lyrics
    Open my eyes and see my bleeding wounded hands
    Feeling the pain too hard to stand, to stand
    Caught in the now and here while they are on the way
    Hiding imagination, leading us astray
    Use your mind
