Shelter From The Rain
[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]Like a wheel I keep on turningStraight ahead, it's got me burningThe melody — the dignity,Something is speaking to meNight is cold and my soul is batteredNot afraid for the first time now that I realizeWe coincide, I'll never belong to the tribeAnd a song is calling me to this ship of fools
[Chorus:]Been dying for a sign when faith has been on the lineWhen you find your love on wasted groundsYou're taking to the sound,It's shelter from the rain
[Mentor (Michael Kiske):]No return from the way I've chosen,Cast away - chasing rainbows - condemn the lieAnd how could I make god believe I am blind?We create by intuition,Call it fate — the tongue of angels in our soulFeel it resound and carry you over the grindAll that's left is a song giving shelter from the rain
[Chorus:]Been dying for a sign when faith has been on the lineWhen I find my love on wasted groundsI'm taking to the soundIt's shelter from the rain
[Conscience (Bob Catley):]It's a dark and stormy night.Ain't it funny what it takes to read the signs?But I am always there,I am the footprints to your rightMan overlooks when riding high, young and blindIn your darkest lonely night,Heed a voice to take you higherTake you higherAs you stumble through the ruins, let the spirit take you higher, and a soul
[Scarecrow (Tobias Sammet):]Oh, and a songI can hear a song
[Chorus:]Been dying for a sign when faith has been on the lineWhen you find your love on wasted groundsYou're taking to the soundIt's shelter from the rainBeen dying for a sign when faith has been on the lineWhen I find my love on wasted groundsI'm taking to the soundIt's shelter from the rain
