Reach Out for the Light Lyrics
[GABRIEL]
Yeah - yeah
Lord above - why don't you tell me
Why I'm here in agony?
I've been serving, I've been praying
Now I'm caught in misery
I've been praised by friar Jakob
I misused his confidence
Cheated by this work of evil -
Feigning Anna's innocence
Oh what have I done?
So many ways lead to the fallen one
Lucifer, fallen light
Oh what have I done?
What is going on?
-We should bring salvation
Not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy word
And no forbidden lies that hurt
I remember words of "seven"
Set me free - sanity! -
Yeah - yeah
Lord above - why don't you tell me
Why I'm here in agony?
I've been serving, I've been praying
Now I'm caught in misery
I've been praised by friar Jakob
I misused his confidence
Cheated by this work of evil -
Feigning Anna's innocence
Oh what have I done?
So many ways lead to the fallen one
Lucifer, fallen light
Oh what have I done?
What is going on?
-We should bring salvation
Not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy word
And no forbidden lies that hurt
I remember words of "seven"
Set me free - sanity! -
[LUGAID]
Reach out for the light
Far beyond confines
You have read the magic lines
Leading to the light in your mind
[GABRIEL]
What is right and what is wrong now?
Is it a trial of paradise?
Is Anna a witch or do they stick to an error?
What's the book and the seal inside?
Am I a cleric or maybe a sinner?
Unbeliever? Renegade?
Was it the devil who led me to "seven"?
Oh redeemer is it all too late?
Oh what have I done?
I have been led by the smelling one
Lucifer, fallen light
Tell me stranger, what have I done?
Oh what's going on? Yeah
-We should bring salvation
Not give in to his temptation - no!
Read and preach the holy word
And no forbidden lies that hurt
I remember words of "seven"
Set me free - sanity! -
Reach out for the light
Far beyond confines
You have read the magic lines
Leading to the light in your mind
[GABRIEL]
