The Seven Angels Lyrics

Cover art for The Seven Angels lyrics by Avantasia

This song is obviously about most Christian obsession with the end times... And what is not to be obsessed with? How revelation deplicts it, it is facinating. It is about how most christians are hypocritical about things how they call others sinners, but look not at what they do. And It is also about excaping this world through say a book, a game, your imagination, a movie, anything that is not real it could even be music if you will. It would be about how someone may read a book about fantasy and some christians would say it is the work of the devil for it leads you away from God. Yes I am a christian, yet i know that things like magic, and such cannot be prevented and you may as well let man do what he wills for his will, will drive him into what ever he desires.... But that is what this song means to me... If anyone else agress that is cool but aye, I listen to music and especially metal to get away from this world and go to my own little world within the music and my imagination... It is just mind candy anyway :P

This song is the very first song of the second album of the rock opera called Avantasia.

It's about a dominican monk in the 17th century who begins to doubt his faith when his cousin is imprisoned for being a witch. He travels to another world to help save her.

I cannot stress this enough. He travels to a land of elves and dwarves and dragons.
