Ah - Hugh! 
Show me the way to the hallways 
below Rome, I will be there 
I've seen them burning in fire 
They all bear too much too bear 

Why don't you think of all those who will come 
Don't you waste your life 

Don't you try show me the way 
Don't need 'good advice' 

Cold hallways so old, a chalice of gold 
A guard as they say, paralyzed 
Follow the cries from out of the blood 
The wine in the cup 

Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony 
Welcome to Avantasia 
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony 
Welcome to Avantasia 

Regrin my friend we are passing the gate 
Back into my world 

I am afraid of the guard and I wish 
Warnings had been heard 

Welcome to Rome, it's our mission 
to make tortured spirits rise 

Something's in here, oh I wish I could hide 
from it's staring eyes 

Cold hallways so old, a chalice of gold 
And I feel a chill 
Staring eyes, while I hear the cries 
From out of the blood, the wine in the cup 

Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony 
Welcome to Avantasia 
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony 
Welcome to Avantasia 

No way out, we got to run to the gate 
No way out, for some of the souls it's too late 
Jakob are you free 

Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony 
Welcome to Avantasia 
Out of the wine, out of the chalice of agony 
Welcome to Avantasia
