[@luizneto1742]

We've played our roles In our passion plays They've imposed on us right from the cradle No matter what you dream Beware of what you say Until the cogwheel's out of control To burst out of place No time to breathe don't have no time to waste Bring on the night seize every drop of life away Slice a tasty hour off from (or in a blink it will be gone) A stranding future bring it on Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day's been torn apart we'll leave it behind Mystery of a blood red rose Feasting on a blind desire Let the scent of poisonous flowers Tempt me away A sweet temptation and pure red rose While the hour don't wait for a blink to cram the past I'll get a move on No hesitation makes no one a better man I can't wait to finally know now what is gonna show now in Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day's been torn apart We'll leave it behind Mystery of a blood red rose Future glowing on a pyre Let the scent of poisonous rose Tempt me away Boy, reach out for what is due Our you'll lap up what's left for you Throw ourselves into the waves And as the grinding wheel of time Is grinding out the chimes To echo in the night We're off into the moonshine Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day's been torn apart We'll leave it behind Mystery of a blood red rose Future glowing on a pyre Let the scent of poisonous rose Tempt me away And I will waste no time tonight And I don't waste no time at all Tonight!♫

[@eurosonguk5982]

If this song was on Eurovision, I would 100% vote for it.

[@Haron851]

Mit 4 min Länge? Da ist max. 3 min wenn ich mich nicht irre.

[@ericmolitor644]

Der Beitrag war im Vorentscheid zum ESC, das deutsche Publikum war nur zu dämlich, Avantasia zum ESC zu schicken

[@Haron851]

@@ericmolitor644 der Song ist doch zu lang für ESC, oder?

[@byJannik]

@@Haron851 er war 2016 im Vorentscheid, für den ESC hätte er einfach gekürzt werden müssen, das ist aber etwas ganz normales das in vielen Ländern gemacht wird.

[@thesimplefyofmusic3937]

IT was. For Germany 🎉

[@user-tx7li7sf1m]

Tobias, a jewel of German rock! The absolute hit maker!!

[@greekfreak1980]

Sounds very similar to old Meat Loaf stuff,I know Tobi is a big fan,so makes sense.

[@whiteheart747]

it was actually written with the hopes that Meatloaf himself would sing it :)

[@d.lacerta6336]

+The Whiteheart maybe when he found out that this album is huge success, he would sing in the next one? i genuinely hope so

[@whiteheart747]

D. Lacerta Yes, that would be really great

[@AndrewBlackMaster]

At least it wasn't just me that thought this was similar in style to some of Meat Loaf's early work

[@arctrax7162]

+greekfreak1980 thought exactly the same

[@ericmolitor644]

Mit ein bisschen Verstand des deutschen Publikums, hätte man Avantasia zum ESC gewählt, wäre safe ein Top 3-Platz geworden

[@erdbeerschosch2839]

Man weiß halt wie sehr die Deutschen auf ihren 0815 pseudo deepen Pop Scheiß stehen. Deswegen ist es auch das Lied von der einen geworden, die nicht Mal bei The Voice gewonnen hat. Und dieses Jahr wird es bestimmt wieder kein Song mit einer Gewinnchance, wie z.B. Pump It von Eskimo Callboy, sondern wieder irgend ne lahme Nummer.

[@Dungeoofpain]

hearing another avantasia song, it fills you with determination.

[@masonk9838]

I went from thinking "this song is meh" to "holy shit how have I not heard this before it's amazing." It's like if Iron Maiden and Queen had a kid.

[@fanibee6193]

me too.. amazing grower.. xD i hated it in the first couple of listens

[@Livbmg12]

I think it's more like Jim Steinmann

[@RobertSmith-ow5kf]

Meatloaf as a step father

[@doris4469]

I loved it since the very first time I listened to it.

[@hungrygrimalkin5610]

And it was called Jon Bon Jovi...

[@BrianOfAteionas]

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all... MYSTERY OF A BLOOD RED NOSE! GLOWING LIKE A RAGING FIRE!

+Nat Haly xDDD

[@canalmultipolartv]

+Nat Haly A poser copying GNR Axl Rose!

[@dann6109]

+Hugo Dionisio No.

[@mustang4404]

+Hugo Dionisio So what? Even if - that fact doesn't make it less funny. I don't think he did that move and thought "Doin' it like Axel Rose." I think he did that because he is what he is and will always be: A funny guy who always makes fun in his vids and concerts. Tobias Sammet.

[@canalmultipolartv]

Of course not. I have a huge respect for him! That I can't say about Axl. Tobias it's a metal master. But It would be better without those silly moves. My opinion. That's all.

[@Sabu8000]

What an incredible, gorgeous voice.

[@blazejecar]

this is the best album I've heard in a long while, for me better than book of souls. Every song is geniusly put together, melodic, great studio work....every song is special. Tobi has outdone himself. This album is the top of his work, at least for me. Although I still say this song isn't the one that should go to eurovision but eh :P

[@blazejecar]

Northern DargaarD I'm just talking about avantasia :P I am aware there is much more complex music out there

[@Steelintel]

+blazejecar Listen to the album Metal Opera part. I and II

[@blazejecar]

Paulo Ferreira how would I be an avantasia fan and not know what those are? They were my favourite albums of theirs up to now :P the metal operas are musically great and all and pretty complex, but ghostlights is more diverse and literally every song is good, it's more melodic and really a joy to listen to. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel like the difference is huge between them, but at least I personally, enjoyed this album more than the operas. I will still cherish the operas as a piece of fine musical work but ghostlights is the better album for me :P

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

+blazejecar Taste is taste, but I think there are some fillers on "Ghostlights" which I could've been without. On Metal Opera I-II, there were nothing but strong epics! :o

[@frankfotofilm]

+Mickey Holm Well I guess that's the nostalgy talking ;) every Album of Tobi's had one or two songs that caould be considered fillers. But I agree that The Metal Opera Pt. I&II are mainly epic. Ghostlights is also my new favourite - especially after the last one, which was quite a disappointment in the long run, it absolutely blew me away and I was in tears of joy several times on friday morning ;) So after The Scarecrow Tobi finally managed to really touch me again.

[@xiconp1993]

Sweet baby jesus this guy is a beast! When I think "ok I know what my favorite Avantasia song is" he comes and shoves this in my face.

[@Osukaanimations]

To bad im not german, I would vote for Avantasia to be in Eurovision. This song is too great

[@ffarkasm]

R.I.P. Meat Loaf. Even though this song has never been sung by him, it was meant to be.

[@josephriveraortiz5372]

Couldn't agree more! 👏

[@myysticranger]

I totally thought the same thing. I would have sworn this was written by Meatloaf. I think the singer was jamming to Bat out of Hell II before writing this song.

[@ffarkasm]

@@myysticranger Tobias Sammet did actually write this song with the intention of Meat Loaf invited to sing it but for one reason or another this collaboration never happened, so Tobias had to sing it himself.

[@Moirchester]

I'm a great fan of Meatloaf! Always was!

War der einzige im Bekanntenkreis, der schon bei den No Angels meinte, das wird nix. Jetzt sage ich: Mit dem Song hätten wir gewinnen können. -.- Mit "Ghost" und der Kleinen von The Voice sind wir zwar auch gut bedient, aber keine Chance auf den Titel. Beim ESC gewinnt Power, Massentauglichkeit und der Bühnenauftritt.

Anyone who was surprised that this sounds like Meat Loaf: Have you ever listened to “The Story Ain’t Over”? 😂 “Journey to Arcadia”? “What’s Left of Me”? “A Restless Heart and Obsidian Skies”?
