Promised Land (EP Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1, Tobias Sammet] Hey, redeemer Now what's become of me Taken in by promise Awakening in grief Collecting us like puppets You instrumentalize A frigid trepidation In a million puppet eyes [Pre-Chorus, Jorn Lande] God gave his word just to let us down Where is he now [Chorus, Jorn Lande] You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home And found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land [Verse 2, Michael Kiske] You scratch my back And I scratch yours It's you who makes dеcisions Just open up the doors Whining in the guttеr They forget their sanctity Welcome to my clockwork Vanity machinery [Pre-Chorus, Tobias Sammet] You gave your word You let me down What am I now [Chorus, Michael Kiske] You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home And found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land [Bridge, Tobias Sammet] Oh, as far as the eye can see They're bent in submission Empty inside An army of scarecrows like me Thousands of broken dreams Thousands of tragedies Tried to run from their destiny [Jorn Lande] Woah, like moths to a flame Driven by vanity They've been off to Jerusalem Chasing a dream, calling on me We're just trading in needs [Solo: Sascha Paeth, Henjo Richter, both] [Chorus, Jorn Lande] You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home And found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land You've been facing heaven You were lost and left alone You're welcome to my home Found another heaven It was you who took my hand Come into the promised land
