this is the best album I've heard in a long while, for me better than book of souls. Every song is geniusly put together, melodic, great studio work....every song is special. Tobi has outdone himself. This album is the top of his work, at least for me. Although I still say this song isn't the one that should go to eurovision but eh :P
Paulo Ferreira how would I be an avantasia fan and not know what those are? They were my favourite albums of theirs up to now :P the metal operas are musically great and all and pretty complex, but ghostlights is more diverse and literally every song is good, it's more melodic and really a joy to listen to. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel like the difference is huge between them, but at least I personally, enjoyed this album more than the operas. I will still cherish the operas as a piece of fine musical work but ghostlights is the better album for me :P
+blazejecar Taste is taste, but I think there are some fillers on "Ghostlights" which I could've been without. On Metal Opera I-II, there were nothing but strong epics! :o
+Mickey Holm Well I guess that's the nostalgy talking ;) every Album of Tobi's had one or two songs that caould be considered fillers. But I agree that The Metal Opera Pt. I&II are mainly epic. Ghostlights is also my new favourite - especially after the last one, which was quite a disappointment in the long run, it absolutely blew me away and I was in tears of joy several times on friday morning ;) So after The Scarecrow Tobi finally managed to really touch me again.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all... MYSTERY OF A BLOOD RED NOSE! GLOWING LIKE A RAGING FIRE!
Awesome song, awesome video and FANTASTIC album ! Tobias is a master composer, every single song is an awesome work, their best album since Metal Opera I and II.
+Hugo Dionisio So what? Even if - that fact doesn't make it less funny. I don't think he did that move and thought "Doin' it like Axel Rose." I think he did that because he is what he is and will always be: A funny guy who always makes fun in his vids and concerts. Tobias Sammet.
Of course not. I have a huge respect for him! That I can't say about Axl. Tobias it's a metal master. But It would be better without those silly moves. My opinion. That's all.
Man weiß halt wie sehr die Deutschen auf ihren 0815 pseudo deepen Pop Scheiß stehen. Deswegen ist es auch das Lied von der einen geworden, die nicht Mal bei The Voice gewonnen hat. Und dieses Jahr wird es bestimmt wieder kein Song mit einer Gewinnchance, wie z.B. Pump It von Eskimo Callboy, sondern wieder irgend ne lahme Nummer.
Que musica velho!!!!!!!! CADE OS BR REPRESENTANDO AQUI PORRA!!!! e mano eu quero essa jaqueta preta do Tobias vei ;( 3:12 se liguem no passinho! kkkkkkkk
Anyone who was surprised that this sounds like Meat Loaf: Have you ever listened to “The Story Ain’t Over”? 😂 “Journey to Arcadia”? “What’s Left of Me”? “A Restless Heart and Obsidian Skies”? Avantasia has *always* sounded like Meat Loaf, and I’d say that’s what the fans have always loved about their music - whether they were aware of the parallels or not.
Hätten die Deutschen endlich mal nen Arsch in der Hose und hätten diesen feinen Mann zum ESC geschickt.. dann wäre unsere Chance mindestens 50% höher gewesen besser als der letzte Platz zu sein :)
NightcoreNation_Official you a right wy oh wy dident they sends this is so fucking good.i watcht this as a belgain and i wish i coud have voted for this!
I totally thought the same thing. I would have sworn this was written by Meatloaf. I think the singer was jamming to Bat out of Hell II before writing this song.
@@myysticranger Tobias Sammet did actually write this song with the intention of Meat Loaf invited to sing it but for one reason or another this collaboration never happened, so Tobias had to sing it himself.
Tobias: I need a building that looks all romantic and gothic and epic mixed together. Germany: I'm sure we've got one of those somewhere around here. Tobias: And snow. Germany: Yup!
He actually wrote this with having Meatloaf singing it with him in mind but he couldn't get him for whatever reason so he just impersonated him for his part..so you nailed it.
I loooooooooooooooove it!!! *~* I cant' wait they release the lyrics of the songs and if they make another video... OMG!!! Great album :')! Another master piece of my beloved Tobias ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
I give this album an 8/10. The one and only masterpiece of this album is undoubtedly, Let the storm descend upon you. A ture 12 min long masterpiece!! The rest are really good, but this one... damn, what a song!! Great work Avantasia!!!
+Billy C. (rhapsody1979) Really "let the storm descend upon you" is an incredible track.. but i think that Ghostlights is proportionally (in terms of time) "full charged".. i mean is not just the music, kiske has done a great job on it.. and is just amazing
+Sebas Mederos Yeah, that's why i said that the rest of the songs are really good, cause by really good i mean 8/10 or 9/10, but Let the Storm... to me is just awesome. The only weak point i found on this album is Isle Of Evermore, at least for me. Sharon did a great job on that song, but the song itself is too weak for my taste.
I totally agree.. that is the weakest track.. and it's just regrettable cause they could have exploited much more his beautiful voice .. anyway the complete album is an excellent work
Lyrics: We've played our roles In our passion plays They've imposed on us right from the cradle No matter what you dream Beware of what you say Until the cogwheel's out of control To burst out of place No time to breathe don't have no time to waste Bring on the night seize every drop of life away Slice a tasty hour off from (or in a blink it will be gone) A stranding future bring it on Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day's been torn apart we'll leave it behind Mystery of a blood red rose Feasting on a blind desire Let the scent of poisonous flowers Tempt me away A sweet temptation and pure red rose While the hour don't wait for a blink to cram the past I'll get a move on No hesitation makes no one a better man I can't wait to finally know now what is gonna show now in Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day's been torn apart We'll leave it behind Mystery of a blood red rose Future glowing on a pyre Let the scent of poisonous rose Tempt me away Boy, reach out for what is due Our you'll lap up what's left for you Throw ourselves into the waves And as the grinding wheel of time Is grinding out the chimes To echo in the night We're off into the moonshine Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day's been torn apart We'll leave it behind Mystery of a blood red rose Future glowing on a pyre Let the scent of poisonous rose Tempt me away And I will waste no time tonight And I don't waste no time at all Tonight!
+Katja Schuppert Tja, war wohl nix. Ich hoffe trotzdem, dass ich zum ersten Mal daneben liege mit meinem ESC-Tipp. Ich habe 15 Jahre immer ganz gut einschätzen können, ob Deutschland gewinnt oder zumindest Punkte bekommt. War der einzige im Bekanntenkreis, der schon bei den No Angels meinte, das wird nix. Jetzt sage ich: Mit dem Song hätten wir gewinnen können. -.- Mit "Ghost" und der Kleinen von The Voice sind wir zwar auch gut bedient, aber keine Chance auf den Titel. Beim ESC gewinnt Power, Massentauglichkeit und der Bühnenauftritt. Power hätte das hier gehabt, Massentauglich ist es definitiv noch deutlich mehr als "Ghost" und Bühnenauftritt...sorry, es ist ne Rock/Metal-Band!
If there is hope for rock music, it must lie in the Europeans, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, 750,000,000 strong, can the force to create quality music ever be generated. Great stuff!!
This song is fantastic, everything is spot-on, but at first I didn't believe that it's only Tobias singing. One moment, he sounds like himself, and in the other he sounds like he's singing into a glass tube. :D

We've played our roles
In our passion plays
They've imposed on us right from the cradle
No matter what you dream
Beware of what you say
Until the cogwheel's out of control
To burst out of place
No time to breathe don't have no time to waste
Bring on the night seize every drop of life away
Slice a tasty hour off from (or in a blink it will be gone)
A stranding future bring it on
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart we'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Feasting on a blind desire
Let the scent of poisonous flowers
Tempt me away
A sweet temptation and pure red rose
While the hour don't wait for a blink to cram the past
I'll get a move on
No hesitation makes no one a better man
I can't wait to finally know now what is gonna show now in
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart
We'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose
Tempt me away
Boy, reach out for what is due
Our you'll lap up what's left for you
Throw ourselves into the waves
And as the grinding wheel of time
Is grinding out the chimes
To echo in the night
We're off into the moonshine
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart
We'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose
Tempt me away
And I will waste no time tonight
And I don't waste no time at all
Tonight!♫
Every song of him (Edguy or Avantasia) Makes me feel calm and happy. Loving that guy. Never stop writing and singing dude.
Tobias, a jewel of German rock! The absolute hit maker!!
If this song was on Eurovision, I would 100% vote for it.
Mit 4 min Länge? Da ist max. 3 min wenn ich mich nicht irre.
Der Beitrag war im Vorentscheid zum ESC, das deutsche Publikum war nur zu dämlich, Avantasia zum ESC zu schicken
@@ericmolitor644 der Song ist doch zu lang für ESC, oder?
@@Haron851 er war 2016 im Vorentscheid, für den ESC hätte er einfach gekürzt werden müssen, das ist aber etwas ganz normales das in vielen Ländern gemacht wird.
IT was. For Germany 🎉
Tobi, you fuckin genius... Eurovision will never see it coming
+icipher1926 they did not make it?
+Sergey Karavay they are participants for the german pre-decicion
Cosmic Kaizer I know it, but I thought, that the their national final had already passed. Thumbs up for Tobi then!
+Sergey Karavay they will play on the 25th of February ;) so keep them thumbs up for a while!
+Sergey Karavay what I meant was, they won't know what hit them if Avantasia manages to qualify ;)
hearing another avantasia song, it fills you with determination.
Tobi stalking girls since Dying For An Angel...
:D
you made my day :D :D
Or perhaps since Superheroes.
+newTrespatas Lol i thought the same
+ToMeK1ism Maybe Superheroes started all of this
+newTrespatas That might be what the whole mystery is about.
El genio ha vuelto, Tobías nos regala más de su arte y esto es excelente!
Sounds very similar to old Meat Loaf stuff,I know Tobi is a big fan,so makes sense.
it was actually written with the hopes that Meatloaf himself would sing it :)
+The Whiteheart maybe when he found out that this album is huge success, he would sing in the next one? i genuinely hope so
D. Lacerta Yes, that would be really great
At least it wasn't just me that thought this was similar in style to some of Meat Loaf's early work
+greekfreak1980 thought exactly the same
this is the best album I've heard in a long while, for me better than book of souls. Every song is geniusly put together, melodic, great studio work....every song is special. Tobi has outdone himself. This album is the top of his work, at least for me. Although I still say this song isn't the one that should go to eurovision but eh :P
Northern DargaarD I'm just talking about avantasia :P I am aware there is much more complex music out there
+blazejecar Listen to the album Metal Opera part. I and II
Paulo Ferreira how would I be an avantasia fan and not know what those are? They were my favourite albums of theirs up to now :P
the metal operas are musically great and all and pretty complex, but ghostlights is more diverse and literally every song is good, it's more melodic and really a joy to listen to. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel like the difference is huge between them, but at least I personally, enjoyed this album more than the operas. I will still cherish the operas as a piece of fine musical work but ghostlights is the better album for me :P
+blazejecar Taste is taste, but I think there are some fillers on "Ghostlights" which I could've been without. On Metal Opera I-II, there were nothing but strong epics! :o

What an incredible, gorgeous voice.
Sweet baby jesus this guy is a beast! When I think "ok I know what my favorite Avantasia song is" he comes and shoves this in my face.
Unfortunately TH-cam only allows us to give one like, I wish I could do it many times! Amazing song! Love you Avantasia!!
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
you know Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall

4-Jorn Lande
5-Tony Kakko
Thumbs up for Deris on 1
What about Hansi Kürsch?
@@victorgutierrez2673 or Attila Dorn?
Thank you for your music Tobias.You are the best music composer .
❤️❤️❤️
What makes this video even better is that they seem to be enjoying themselves.
GO AVANTASIA, CONQUER ERUOPE. HAIL METAL!
love it how the drummer nearly effed up the catch at the beginning
Excelente Album, me encanta ésta canción no paro de escucharla!!
I usually don't like this kind of music, but this is such a good song.
Welcome to this magic world
The best power metal song in a very long time!
This músic is pop rock
Awesome song, awesome video and FANTASTIC album ! Tobias is a master composer, every single song is an awesome work, their best album since Metal Opera I and II.
+kreshBACON Much better than II. Maybe as good as I.
+blindg nope sorry
Love him doing that move at 3:12 xD
+Nat Haly xDDD

+Hugo Dionisio No.

Of course not. I have a huge respect for him! That I can't say about Axl. Tobias it's a metal master. But It would be better without those silly moves. My opinion. That's all.
this is so "Jim Steinman" ... loving it
I went from thinking "this song is meh" to "holy shit how have I not heard this before it's amazing." It's like if Iron Maiden and Queen had a kid.
me too.. amazing grower.. xD i hated it in the first couple of listens
I think it's more like Jim Steinmann
Meatloaf as a step father
I loved it since the very first time I listened to it.
And it was called Jon Bon Jovi...
My top 5 songs of this masterpiece are :
1-Babylon Vampires
2-Master of the Pendulum
3-Let The Storm Decend Upon You
4-Unchain The Light
5-Ghostlights
kreshBACON restless heart and obsidian skies, no? I love that song
I’m sick at the moment, and everytime i’m sick I seem to listen to Meat Loaf. This time this song stuck, good to know that nothing really changed 😊
1:43 wunderschöne Augen...muss auch mal erwähnt werden . Ein toller Song , ordentlich Schmackes , Melodie und top gespielt. HIT!
The final vocals are amazing \m/
Tobi´s power metal opera with a Steinman´s wagnerian touch.
What an excellent way to describe it! :)
Não sei o que amo mais, a música ou o clipe! Perfeito demais, tudo lindo!!!!!!
Finally!!! this video is epic!
my favorite song on Ghostlights is this one and "Let the Storm Desend Upon You"
Deserves more views!
So true.
Táto pieseň ma vždy poteší na dlhých cestách 👍
Mit ein bisschen Verstand des deutschen Publikums, hätte man Avantasia zum ESC gewählt, wäre safe ein Top 3-Platz geworden
Man weiß halt wie sehr die Deutschen auf ihren 0815 pseudo deepen Pop Scheiß stehen. Deswegen ist es auch das Lied von der einen geworden, die nicht Mal bei The Voice gewonnen hat. Und dieses Jahr wird es bestimmt wieder kein Song mit einer Gewinnchance, wie z.B. Pump It von Eskimo Callboy, sondern wieder irgend ne lahme Nummer.
I literally can't stop listening to this song. Ths is my new obsession.
This song seems to have a lot of influence from Meat Loaf / Jim Steinman. And there's nothing wrong about it.
+Benishe he wrote it hoping Meat Loaf would sing it on the record, but he passed.
+Benishe I asked Tobi about that, he said and I quote "It's practically a Steinman ripoff"
Rick Neal
Too bad, Meat Loaf in an Avantasia album would be quite perfect.
I somehow can feel Meatloaf's vibe and its kool for me, missing them way too much already 🙌
Rik Nel
I really wish Meat Loaf hadn't turned this song down. I'd love to hear him sing it
To bad im not german, I would vote for Avantasia to be in Eurovision. This song is too great
I dunno about you guys, but for me, every time I see a new Avantasia album released, it's a bit like Christmas, bloody excellent stuff ^____^ - Daniel
Great song from a great album 11/10
So beautiful as usual. This composer is a genius \m/
Yay! new video :3 Love the album, love the song, and the video. Simply spectacular! Tobi is great
Perfect song, perfect video, perfect Tobias
Todo un Coro,muchas gracias Toby y Familia Avantasia!!

Das würde nur leider nicht in das Konzept der DeutschenMedienAnstalten passen! Die raffen sowas nicht und schicken lieber nur Mainstreamschranzen!
Ich verstehe das nicht.
ich hab noch nie für einen Song bei DSDS, Talent oder sonst was gewählt. Aber bei diesem Song hab ich gewählt bis zur letzten Sekunde.
Very good clip! I wasn't sure about the song itself, but this clip makes up for all of that. Good job mister Tobi and band.
I am a huge fan of Tobias Sammet .
Amazing, I love the entire album. Thanks Avantasia for such a display of art.
Very Meatloaf, very awesome. Loving this album.
Beautiful song and video, i'm in love. Thanks Tobias and Avantasia
absolutely love this group they are AMAZING
pure genius.
YES!!!!!! I didn't really like Avantasia's last album but this sounds amazing.
Um dos melhores álbuns que já ouvi. Simplesmente divino.
Beautiful song for a wonderful album :,) thanks Mr. Sammet, you make my soundtrack of the year!
WOW, this group is awesome!!!!
I am really happy to have found these guys! I want more!! I announce/ DJ for Hockey n LAX I Love Metal for Warm ups and INTROS
This video has been out for 2 years and I'm huge into Avantasia. How am I only Discovering this video now?!!
R.I.P. Meat Loaf.
Even though this song has never been sung by him, it was meant to be.
Couldn't agree more! 👏

House Tyrell loves this song
One of the best album of Avantasia. i see avantasia live in my country and it was amazing.
damn got goosebumps
Tobias: I need a building that looks all romantic and gothic and epic mixed together.
Germany: I'm sure we've got one of those somewhere around here.
Tobias: And snow.
Germany: Yup!
he looks like the singer of edguy
+elena richani Well, he is.
He is the Singer from Edguy.
Avantasia is a Project from Tobias Sammet,look at YT for Avantasia,or Google Avantasia.
no shit sherlock
Like how Nirvana's drummer looks exactly like Foo Fighter's Vocalist.
whoosh
Tobias never cease to amaze us! Great job and awesome song. Thank you for making the difference!
This is sounds strait off Meatloaf's "Bat out of Hell" WOW!
Album of the year!!
Edguy meets Meat Loaf.
+Filipe Zalewska
LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL I'LL BE GONE WHEN THE MORNIN' COMES
+Filipe Zalewska ..well, it was ment to be sung by Mr. Meatloaf but in the end it wasn't possible and so Tobi did the vocals..and not bad at ALL! :-)
+Filipe Zalewska Escierto..pens{e lo mismo
This guy is a genius. Can’t believe how this sounds like Meatloaf 100%. Awesome album! Blown away with Ghostlights.
He actually wrote this with having Meatloaf singing it with him in mind but he couldn't get him for whatever reason so he just impersonated him for his part..so you nailed it.
I loooooooooooooooove it!!! *~* I cant' wait they release the lyrics of the songs and if they make another video... OMG!!! Great album :')! Another master piece of my beloved Tobias ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
+Paula Ardiles there is an official lyrics video for this song, they released it like 3-4 weeks ago ;)
+OttiTheStrange hahaha I know, but I was saying it for the other songs, I really wanna sing them and read them :)!!
Paula Ardiles
sooo get the album, i already got my copy :D
Please Tobi, bring Noora Louhimo (from Battle Beast) for your next Avantasia album + tour! :)
I give this album an 8/10. The one and only masterpiece of this album is undoubtedly, Let the storm descend upon you. A ture 12 min long masterpiece!! The rest are really good, but this one... damn, what a song!! Great work Avantasia!!!

Wow fantastic Video AND song
This is great. You can tell they're actually having fun. Music at it's best!
I don't understand how Jamie Lee managed to win against this.
There you can see how dumb most of the germans are. I'm one too but at least I called for avantasia five times :/ why i didn't called 20 times :(((
Lyrics:
We've played our roles
In our passion plays
They've imposed on us right from the cradle
No matter what you dream
Beware of what you say
Until the cogwheel's out of control
To burst out of place
No time to breathe don't have no time to waste
Bring on the night seize every drop of life away
Slice a tasty hour off from (or in a blink it will be gone)
A stranding future bring it on
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart we'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Feasting on a blind desire
Let the scent of poisonous flowers
Tempt me away
A sweet temptation and pure red rose
While the hour don't wait for a blink to cram the past
I'll get a move on
No hesitation makes no one a better man
I can't wait to finally know now what is gonna show now in
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart
We'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose
Tempt me away
Boy, reach out for what is due
Our you'll lap up what's left for you
Throw ourselves into the waves
And as the grinding wheel of time
Is grinding out the chimes
To echo in the night
We're off into the moonshine
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day's been torn apart
We'll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of poisonous rose
Tempt me away
And I will waste no time tonight
And I don't waste no time at all
Tonight!
Tema q perfectamente podria estar incluido en cualquier Bat Out Of Hell.Suena a Jim Steiman por todos lados!
One of my fav videos ever! Love it so much!
ALL points from Norway goes to... GERMANY!
Fascinant, électrifiant, déconcertant, une tornade pour l'esprit !

Dammit! Tobias is just a master! He's a musical god! Long live King Tobi!
The only song from Germany that would stand a chance at the ESC. Hopefully the Germans chose this one.
+Hjalfnar Feuerwolf ...ich auf jeden Fall :D
+Katja Schuppert Tja, war wohl nix. Ich hoffe trotzdem, dass ich zum ersten Mal daneben liege mit meinem ESC-Tipp. Ich habe 15 Jahre immer ganz gut einschätzen können, ob Deutschland gewinnt oder zumindest Punkte bekommt. War der einzige im Bekanntenkreis, der schon bei den No Angels meinte, das wird nix. Jetzt sage ich: Mit dem Song hätten wir gewinnen können. -.- Mit "Ghost" und der Kleinen von The Voice sind wir zwar auch gut bedient, aber keine Chance auf den Titel.
Beim ESC gewinnt Power, Massentauglichkeit und der Bühnenauftritt. Power hätte das hier gehabt, Massentauglich ist es definitiv noch deutlich mehr als "Ghost" und Bühnenauftritt...sorry, es ist ne Rock/Metal-Band!
+Hjalfnar Feuerwolf ...ja...wenn DE lieber ein "Manga-Girlie " zu ESC schickt, dann hat DE auch nix anderes verdient. Germany 0 points ! :D
The most beautiful Avantasia song ever !!! Like from dream....
Dammit even if they weren't able to get him for the album, I still want to hear Meat Loaf sing this.
I love this song 😍❤️🥰
Tobias rocks !!!!!
I think I will always be pissed this didn't make it to Eurovision. But on the other hand........they are too good for it anyway.
If there is hope for rock music, it must lie in the Europeans, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, 750,000,000 strong, can the force to create quality music ever be generated.
Great stuff!!
this song gave me the feeling that i was listening to a pokemon theme song.
most epic pokemon theme ever eh?
I haven't felt such an adrenaline rush in a long time
I don't get all the hate on The mystery of time...that's still my favorite album.
Same here. Listening to the album and looking at Aaron's thoughts written beside the lyrics in the cd booklet is an experience.
This song is fantastic, everything is spot-on, but at first I didn't believe that it's only Tobias singing. One moment, he sounds like himself, and in the other he sounds like he's singing into a glass tube. :D
