[Lyric] Otherland (Blind Guardian)

They rule the land
They're in command
They hold all strings in hand
They are invisible

Out of sight they've designed
A secret place to play their games
A world they're in control
Divine law, divine law

Be aware now, mind your steps
We are uninvited guests
They may find and catch us
Don't forget

Do what I say, and now connect
Don't even ask until we're out of it
Everything's at highest stake

Come and take a look, we are in
Take a breath but don't forget
It isn't real, it isn't true
An illusion nothing more
You're part of the game
You're slaves to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed, you're damned
By now you understand

You're part of the game
You're slaves to the grind
Oblivion
You're welcome to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed
You're damned
By now you understand

We get closer
There's no better way
Lullaby Lane
Our fate is on its way

The inner district
Is the place you need to know
It's overwhelming
So let's rest here for a while
Someone else appears
Silently
Watch me when I fall down
Everything seems real
Suddenly
A perfect simulation

Come take a look
Breathe it in
Artificial wonderlands
We are wandering around
Things shall vanish
They won't last

Now I know
You understand
This world's not true
Nothing is real
Nothing at all
It's bits and pieces
We walk through

You're part of the game
You're slaves to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed, you're damned
By now you understand
You're part of the game
You're slaves to the grind
Oblivion
You've reached the promised land
You're part of the game
You're cursed, you're damned
Welcome to the Otherland

Wait
I can feel things aren't alright
Do not breathe, don't look behind
There's someone else
The observer

A trick of light, a fading line
The entrance gone
We can't get out of it
We are slightly losing ground

Quick
It is time, we shall go
We better leave and don't come back
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I fear we're walking aimlessly

You're part of the game
You're slaves to the grind
Oblivion
Is your key to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed, you're damned
By now you understand

You're part of the game
You're slaves to the grind
Oblivion
Welcome to the Otherland
You're part of the game
You're cursed, you're damned
You've reached the promised land

You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
