Avantasia - 'Invoke the Machine' (Live at Wacken Open Air 2014)
Home to the land of the living
Roused by a sound I confide
And what I am to cast my tired eyes upon
Where was I when the clock had been alive?
I see a marvel right in front of me
There's a man, who's got tomorrow in his hands
Don't you see what you are meant to be
Outside your cloud-cuckoo-land
Time won't wait for those who stay behind
(Time to wait for Time)
In these tangible realms hesitation's a crime
In the night:
A secret mysterious dream
Dead of night,
While the town lies asleep
We invoke the machine
Those dreams that you hummed to yourself once
How far will you reach out to make them come true?
Will you turn around to shirk from duty?
Or force the pace while it's all up to you?
A giant leap is to be made now
I'm struck with awe We're gonna heed the inner call
My heart beat quickens I behold the god-machine
I can't help but write history
As my glance wanders to the far off end in the sky
(Time to wait for Time)
Hissing and screaming, almost alive
In the night
My life came apart at the seams
Dead of night,
Let's run up the wheel
We invoke the machine
In the night:
A secret mysterious dream
Dead of night,
The town lies asleep, woah
In the night:
Those in hiding are waiting for me
Dead of night,
Let's run up the wheel
We invoke the machine
Roused by a sound I confide
And what I am to cast my tired eyes upon
Where was I when the clock had been alive?
I see a marvel right in front of me
There's a man, who's got tomorrow in his hands
Don't you see what you are meant to be
Outside your cloud-cuckoo-land
Time won't wait for those who stay behind
(Time to wait for Time)
In these tangible realms hesitation's a crime
In the night:
A secret mysterious dream
Dead of night,
While the town lies asleep
We invoke the machine
Those dreams that you hummed to yourself once
How far will you reach out to make them come true?
Will you turn around to shirk from duty?
Or force the pace while it's all up to you?
A giant leap is to be made now
I'm struck with awe We're gonna heed the inner call
My heart beat quickens I behold the god-machine
I can't help but write history
As my glance wanders to the far off end in the sky
(Time to wait for Time)
Hissing and screaming, almost alive
In the night
My life came apart at the seams
Dead of night,
Let's run up the wheel
We invoke the machine
In the night:
A secret mysterious dream
Dead of night,
The town lies asleep, woah
In the night:
Those in hiding are waiting for me
Dead of night,
Let's run up the wheel
We invoke the machine
Στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ του Waken έχουν εμφανιστεί αρκετές φορές (2011, 2017, 20217) οι Avantasia, κάτι που θα γίνει και το νέο έτος. Στεκόμαστε στην προ επταετίας εμφάνισή τους και τους βλέπουμε - ακούμε να αποδίδουν "ζωντανά" το τραγούδι "Invoke the Machine" παρέα με τον τραγουδιστή των Pretty Maids, Ronnie Atkins. Το τραγούδι το γνωρίσαμε μέσα από τον δίσκο των Avantasia "The Mystery of Time (A Rock Epic)" που κυκλοφόρησε την άνοιξη του 2013.
Οι Avantasia δημιουργήθηκαν το 2000 από τον Tobias Sammet των Edguy. Σχηματίσθηκαν ως side project για την κυκλοφορία μίας metal όπερας ("The Metal Opera", "The Metal Opera pt.II"), αλλά στην πορεία μετεξελίχθηκαν σε "κανονικό" σχήμα, το οποίο συνεχίζει ακάθεκτο μέχρι τις ημέρες μας έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει οκτώ "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, τρία EPs, οκτώ singles, μία συλλογή, ένα split (μαζί με Dimmu Borgir και Sonata Arctica), τρία Boxed set και ένα live album...
