Breaking Away Lyrics

Cover art for Breaking Away lyrics by Avantasia

This is a refreshingly simple song. Lugaid the Druid is helping Gabe escape from the prison to go and free Anna.

‘Always been a novice in quest for paradise. Hope they will forgive me for I apostatize. I can't be no hypocrite, can't wear a masquerade... New horizons wait...’

Gabe finally grows some balls, and decides to say ‘screw the Church, Anna is more important. They’ll forgive me if I turn out to be right’.

’And now the time has come to go another way. To learn for life and to grow ripe and prevent the decay...’

Gabe decides to learn life his own way, and become his own man, not keep rotting away as a cog in the Church engine (or, more literally, in his prison cell).
