Avantasia - The Looking Glass lyrics

rate me

[Gabriel:]

Drawn by the sound of that wild raving pound

No one has told me

I gotta know all about hell and below

They never told me

The quest for nexus

In your life and for all that's beyond...

[Gabriel:]

When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me

When I stare into the looking glass

When I ask what he sees

Then I'm asking for more and the more

that i wanna know

I know what I'll never know

[Tree of Knowledge:]

From far away, from the state of decay

You've come to wisdom

Many've been led, into madness instead

Toll of my kingdom

The quest for nexus has brought

Many men of genius to insanity

[Gabriel:]

When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me

When I stare into the looking glass

When I ask what he sees

[Tree of Knowledge:]

Then you're asking for more, and the more that

you wanna know

You know what you'll never know

[Solo: Henjo Richter]

[Tree of Knowledge:]

As long as you long for the whole

You can't get a part of at all

How proud would the buildings of Rome

Look without a single stone

[Gabriel:]

When I gaze at the man who is gazing at me

When I stare into the looking glass

When I ask what he sees

Then I'm asking for more and the more

that i wanna know

I know what I'll never know...
