The Glory Of Rome Lyrics

Cover art for The Glory Of Rome lyrics by Avantasia

Johann, the bishop and Falk, the bailiff, are on their way to Rome. Falk is sick and tired of the routine and plainness of daily life, while the Pope is living it up in the capital. Surely that’s heresy in itself? :p

Johann has brought the book that Gabriel read (the one that started this whole mess), for the Pope to look at, meanwhile still spouting his prayers of salvation and destruction of the devil.

The Pope tells them that they have part of a seal which will unlock ‘the land of illumination’ (absolute wisdom, the Holy Grail, whatever you want to think of it as). Understandably, he wants it.
