Fly Lyrics

Stop, be quiet now
Out with the light and,
Then up and down it goes
Fly
out with the light
There at the door,
The Inspiration I´ve looked for,
The Spirit of the youth appears

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe,
make believe

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But One day it all will come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
The Away we´ll go
Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine

The second one to the right
And then Straight on until morning light

Stop, be quiet now
No irritation
No not the slightest doubt

We go at once
Quick - We better hurry,
There from the road i sense
The end of fun gets near
Wonderful thoughts and imaginations
These dreams will lift you up

What is it like? You ask me, my dear
Will there be fairies, or things to fear
For fairies sake I'd say you better come with me
so soon you´ll see,
Now up and down it goes and round
round and round and round,

Praise to my cleverness
they all follow me,
All praise to innocence
that's everything it needs,
Fly in,
fly out,
they leave it all behind

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe,
make believe

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But One day it all will come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
The Away we´ll go
Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine

Solo

Life is a map and it is quite confusing
The lights are up now let the play begin
She flies, she flies,
into the light she flies
No words like "just" in mind
She's finding Neverland
there on the day she dies
Don't stop it now,
she still enjoys the scene
Don't stop it now,
don't stop it now,
don't stop it now,
don't stop it now, now, now

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
It's make believe,
make believe

No one ever dares to speak
It's nothing else but fantasy
But One day it all will come to life

Step out of line
And I'll teach you how to fly
The Away we´ll go
Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine

Apparently it was inspired by the film "Finding Neverland" and that appears in the lyrics.

It's a similar theme to "Imaginations From the Other Side" only this is about discovering that the "fairy tales" so to speak are, in fact, real, rather than the other way round...

I agree! Incredible song! Can't wait for the album now!

It's Peter Pan!

The Spirit of Youth, the boy who never grew up.

The second one to the right and then straight on until morning light.

And it does actaully use the word Neverland.

These guys write some great concept songs.

Mmm, very awesome, second-best song on the album in my opinion.

Kinda like Turn the Page a bit more. :P

This is for Peter Pan, really. "The second one to the right, and then straight on until morning light" is the "adress" of Neverland, a quotation from J. M. Barrie's book.

I like this song the more I hear it, to the point where it's now one of my favorites on the album. It reminds me of when I was a kid, watching Peter Pan, and it wasn't so rediculous to imagine that you could be young forever. Something about this song just seems to haunt me.

"Step out of line and/ I'll teach you how to fly"

I remember when I first red the lyrics to this song. I had to read them about a 10 times before I convinced myself that I wasn't imagining things and it's actually about Peter Pan. Wow, just imagine using that for the subject of a metal song. I love how Blind Guardian does their concept songs, amazing stuff.

It's not about neverland, it is about SEX.

"Stop, be quiet now, Out with the light and, Then up and down it goes" <- sounds pretty clear to me. "Step out of line, And I'll teach you how to fly" <- classical seduction sentence lol. "Leave your mark, leave your mark in the land of mine" <- the girl wants to be pregnant. "Don't stop it now, she still enjoys the scene Don't stop it now, don't stop it now, don't stop it now, don't stop it now, now, now" <- here's the climax.

Except for every other line in the song.

@haxxiy I wouldn't say that it's about sex in itself but more about a feeling that is very seductive, powerful and pleasurable - or, in other words, very sexual indeed.

I don't get why you had so many downvotes, all the other comments here are bullshit while you've at least made a good point about the theme.
