Avantasia - Ghost In The Moon Lyrics






Ghost in the moonlight
Throw your veil upon these grounds
Cold! The night is star-bright
Pale is all beauty of your gown

Dark, frame a fire!
Mystery of a blood red rose
Dark! Shine sapphire!
You won't leave me on my own

Raised my head above the haze
I woke up to a world
I feel almost humanized
Tender loving all around
Apparently profound
Through self-deceitful eyes

Now what am I supposed to be
For sure it can't be me
In orderly array
My, it's feeling so unreal
How daunting to be free
In the light of day

Lost in this world - with no place to go

Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight
Veiling boon: Ghost in the moon
Grant me admission tonight
Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright golden gloom:
Ghost in the moon

Whispers sounding from the brake
Sinister eyes along the way
A phantom rushing through the night
Make haste, run from the dawn
Back across the Rubicon
To the shelter from the light

Before the sun is gonna rise
To reflect it in their eyes
A sight no one's gonna stand
Oh your blood is gonna freeze
Different blood: a different breed
No one's gonna comprehend

They teach you love, they make you belong...
Suck you in to spit you out, the rage is on...

Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight
Veiling boon - Ghost in the moon
Grant me admission tonight
Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright golden gloom:
Ghost in the moon

Like a rushing thunder
You're a shade in the swampland
And a Trojan horse they'd rowel into your dreams
They chase you into dawn
To a silken bed of quicksand
Rush, so you can breathe, they'll give you up
You're in my world past remedy

Asking, wondering, look at me: waiting... prompting...
I may be drawn to something
That I can't phrase for you
Even though it's true

I won't be what they long to see in me
No matter how desperately they reach out for me
A sedating hand

They don't understand, I don't comprehend
I can't take no more of their shallow light
Burning me inside
Then I am better off a scorn in the night

I am rumour, I am nightmare
That I'm bound to dream myself
Half human - and it's frightening -
To just guess the other half

I'm a misfit on a journey and I'm afraid my destiny
Has been sealed right from the outset:
To immure the real me
I'll wane in this world
Just me and the glow of the moon - yeah wow

For the chill of the night is gonna summon a fire
A strange world on the brink, or a maniacal dream?
Dead matter alive - heart, soul and desire
Rise from the smoke and the fire -
From maniacal dreams
Crucible-born and unseen -
Megalo-maniacal dream
Megalo-maniacal dream

To chase the...
Ghost in the moonglow
Throw your gown upon the light
Ghost in the moonglow
Whisper from the starlit skies

Dark - frame a fire
Mystery of a blood red rose
Moon - spark a fire
You won't leave me on my own

  46. M.... O....

    Maravilloso.

  47. D.... D....

    idk why but the album cover looks very rick and morty to me

  48. H.... B....

    Masterpiece. Breathtaking lyrics and chorus. Sammet = genius

  49. j.... ....

    O show de São Paulo foi espetacular. Pena saber que foi o Ultimo do
    André Matos.

    j.... ....

    tava lá, foi bom mesmo

  50. G.... V....

    incredible music

  51. i.... ....

    old Avantasia was EPIC, POWER, HARMONIC VOICE, EMOTIONAL, METAL RIFF.... but this Avantasia like "Whoopi Golberg sister Act" choirs and BLUES GUITARS ... really bored....sorry.

  52. T.... S....

    a melhor musica do album o show deles foi maravilhoso aqui em são paulo

    T.... S....

    Foi demais o show com essa música na abertura. Jamais esquecerei a emoção.

    T.... S....

    Eu tava lá!

    T.... S....

    Última apresentação do André Matos

  53. t.... ....

    Michael Kiske and his eternally godly and wonderful voice...

  54. H.... D....

    The show in Sao Paulo was epic, awesome. Plz Toby, never stop doing this. And plz, plz, 3h long isnt enought, start making a two days show with songs from all albuns. It would be a f* dream coming f* true.

  55. J.... F....

    Mais uma obra prima desse gênio chamado Tobias Sammet.

  56. N.... C....

    Damn 6:22, 2004 Tobias was reborn for a moment.

  57. I.... M....

    La mejor canción del mundo!
    La mejor agrupación del mundo!
    Tobi, el mejor!

  58. h.... g....

    2/6/2019 em São Paulo |oo|

  59. M.... Y....

    that music is composed by a genius !

  60. C.... R....

    Tobias and Avantasia are in a class by themselves. I can't think of any other artist that puts out this volume of masterpieces. I can listen to their music all day and not get bored!

    C.... R....

    Ayreon occasionally puts out similar material, though in style more than in 'power' (so to say).

    C.... R....

    Devin Townsend.

  61. D.... J....

    Wow. This is laughable.

  62. V.... M....

    I am Rumor, I am Nightmare!!!! Half Human and it's frightening!!!!

  63. W.... G....

    Cara...essa música não sai mais da cabeça! Tobias mais uma vez arrebentando com mais um belo trabalho do Avantasia!

  64. e.... p....

    Has anyone pieced together the story to this album yet? I can't for the life of me figure it out!

    e.... p....

    It's like the opposite of "The Scarecrow" it's a being that dreams of love and life, but realizes that it would rather live in the darkness or "The moonglow"

  65. A.... F....

    Fantastic 💙😍😍

  66. F.... O....

    After extensive contemplation, I can conclude that Avantasia is my new favorite music group.

  67. A.... F....

    Muy buen disco avantasia es uno de los mejores mi canción favorita es esta tiene mucho ritmo 💙💙💙💙

  68. S.... E....

    The begining is totaly meat loaf

  69. D.... W....

    Best song Tobi has ever written. So much emotions in it. Always get watery eyes with this tune.

  70. M.... L....

    Geiles Lied. Geiles Album. Geiles Konzert in Bamberg 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

  71. D.... S....

    Musik Avantasia memang benar enak didengar dan penuh ins[irasi

  72. L.... L....

    7:18 to 8:10 is so amazing <3

  73. L.... T....

    Your song— no, your masterpiece gives me chills. The first time, I listened to it I was at a loss of words. I felt odd and yet complete. Somehow Ghost in the Moon speaks to my soul

  74. F.... O....

    Meat Loaf would be very impressed. lol

  75. k.... ....

    Definitive proof that rock isn't dead. Thanks for shepherding us to this promised land.

  76. K.... ....

    Thank you Tobias you make me dream😪

  77. M.... ....

    I would like life to be infinite in order to listen a masterpieces like this

  78. c.... X....

    Einfach nur der Wahnsinn. Bis am 9. April das wird sowas von HAMMER

  79. F.... O....

    This and requiem for a dream whith kiske... Uauu......

  80. j.... w....

    superb album. i love 95% of avantasia. some good, some great, some brilliant. worst track for me is moonglow. i really dislike that track

  81. d.... ....

    what "Crucible-born" means? Help guys

    d.... ....

    A crucible is a ceramic container used to melt metals or other substances requiring high heat like in modern day chemistry. So "crucible-born" would mean something born out of a crucible, for example bronze. Metaphorically, I believe this is another alchemy reference. Creating something new out of the fire. This is my best guess. Hope it helps!

    d.... ....

    @Aceofhearts Thx man o/

  82. S.... H....

    This is my favourite song of AVANTASIA seriously...

  83. M.... H....

    Although I love this new album, this song just doesn't flow well with me. It has that show-tune feel which I've never liked about the last couple of Avantasia albums. But the rest of this album is really great :)

  84. A.... C....

    I love this a lot, Avantasia hardly disapoints ❤❤❤

  85. D.... B....

    Please never stop to create magic tobi, this track easily enter to the top 5 avantasia songs IMO

  86. S.... H....

    I love this song! I hope Avantasia will visit to Finland next summer...or maybe autum...I'll be waiting :)

  87. e.... ....

    nachdem das album vor zwei wochen angeblich platz eins der album charts war, wieso ist es jetzt nichtmal überhaupt gelistet?

    e.... ....

    Das war offiziell Platz 1 der Charts. Die meisten Fans kaufen das Album pünktlich zum Release oder bestellen es vor. Danach fallen die Verkaufszahlen natürlich ab.

  88. M.... K....

    Tabs for this is finally complete! You can fing it on ultimate guitar com

    M.... K....

    Perfect !! 👍✌️

  89. r.... ....

    Increíble tema! Y muy buen disco, como todo lo que hace Tobias. Ich maq Avantasia, und Ich möchte diese album. Diese album habt mir sehr glüclich gemacht! Seguí así Tobias y no pares nunca!

  90. C.... F....

    El mejor álbum del 2019 es el de Overkill

    C.... F....

    Son diferentes estilos, no compares reinita, solo disfruta

    C.... F....

    George De La Selva quien ha dicho que estoy comparando⁉️yo dije el mejor álbum del 2019, no dije mejor que este... pero lo que realmente me molesta es que me digan ´REINITA¨ eso explica que seas de la selva

    C.... F....

    @Cecilia Fabiana Shenk al escribir aquí eso de overkill automáticamente comparas, y no te enojes mamacita sabrosa!

  91. C.... F....

    Cuantas horas dura esta canción❓

    C.... F....

    Solo 10 min, pero 10 min EPICOS

  92. A.... E....

    hilarious !

  93. E.... P....

    Stop making masterpieces Tobi!!! You make me dislike every other music!!!

    E.... P....

    try Band-Maid, you may just love them than Avantasia. ;)

    E.... P....

    Avantasia is the Dark Souls of music.

    E.... P....

    @Zenith It means that one needs good skills and lots of patience to appreciate it? :) (of course no doubt that Dark Souls is also a masterpiece)

    E.... P....

    @Zenith Actually i think it's more Bloodborne than anything.

  94. M.... ....

    5/10 let's find something better

  95. C.... P....

    What a way to start the new album. They got me within the first minute

  96. K.... t....

    oh god its so good

  97. M.... a....

    Ésta canción me hace llorar y estar contento a la vez.
