^^I've only listened to it once so far MP, but Tobias never disappoints.

Sooty have you ever listened to his other band,,,Edguy?

I have LG! I remember the thread that was up for that band! :grinthumb

I really love this album. I don't know what it is but this one works as a whole better than any other one I've heard by them. This track has been added as another favorite:

Savior In The Clockwork


Can anyone do me a favor. I looked and it has three notable vocalist included on this track including one from Rainbow, one from Saxon and one from Helloween. The song seems pretty seamless so can anyone give me an idea where each vocalist is coming in? :)

^^MP might know but I've only listened to the new Avantasia album once Sooty but next time I listen to that track I'll pay attention and see if I can tell who's singing what part.

Definitely Bill Byford(Saxon) at the 7+ minute mark.

Did you not like it as well LG. It figures the one I like is probably too pop rock for you and some of it's core fans! :oyea:

^^I like everything Tobias has done both with Edguy and his mellow side Avantasia Sooty.

I like the song, just finished listening to it and spotted Biff's part around the 7 minute mark.;)

Oh cool! If anything Tobias knows how to collaborate with so many different styles of vocalist and make it work. It's no wonder so many names want to work with him. :grinthumb

Indeed, and he was about 17 I think when he got started in music, a prodigy almost.;)

Here you go Sooty on that track :grinthumb

Joe Lyn Turner (Rainbow)
I envision how you lie awake and agonise
Over ways to bear your day just every night
Re-alignment you're in need of so imploringly
It's the pace that we'll maintain for you

Oh every moment everybody's gonna think alike
Every second will be seized
While every in between we'll erase
To take the tangle from their memory
Maximising one and all for you

Now into line bring them peace of mind
Mind by mind
Se the pace for all mankind
Let us take away the spaces
In between their given time

(Tobias)
Time to run!
Savior in the clockwork tell me
For how long will I wait on the grind
Time flies on
(Time will fly on)
Savior in the clockwork take me back inside
In between the time

Now am I half asleep or half unconscious,
Half 'adream'?
I can't move as I am stuck in bright lucidity
I can feel and hear and see
But I won't comprehend
I see fire that I won't decipher

I see giant evil tower to a blackened sky
I feel blessed with evidence of what I can't define
Swinging blade of the lowering perpendicular
I see clarity I won't remember

Do I dream
Is it only fantasy and matter just a thought I see
And time is all they need to seal away eternity

Time to run!
Savior in the clockwork tell me
For how long will I wait on the grind
Time flies on
(Time will fly on)
Savior in the clockwork take me back inside
In between the time

Biff Byford (Saxon)
You pry into a world too far above
Your head up in the haze
(Tobias)
Journey to the birth of the first sun
Into the black womb of space
Biff Byford (Saxon)
Father primal space oh yeah
Who's drawn the light…

(Tobias)
Standing at the door to epiphanic realisation
A journey to the centre of forever
To the mystery of creation

Biff Byford (Saxon)
Don't you hear the voice: I'm with you
I'm everywhere and real
You can see me, you can hear me without credence
I'm what your hands can feel

(Tobias)
God, I feel I've been away too long
I feel like I've been dreaming

Biff Byford (Saxon)
If you'd open up your door to explanation
You would hear the voice of reason screaming

(Tobias)
I've seen the ocean swallow the ancient harmony
Biff Byford (Saxon)
And I've seen belief and craving swallow sanity

(Tobias)
I feel my hand is led to ink between the lines
Biff Byford (Saxon)
Tall stories legendising: figments of the lie

(Tobias)
At crack of dawn hazy remains above my mind
Michael Kiske (Ex elloween)
Raise your mind
(Tobias)
I scribble down those icons that I can't define
Will they demand account as I'd demand myself
Michael Kiske (Ex elloween)
Raise your mind
(Tobias)
I'll never testify what no man comprehends

Michael Kiske (Ex elloween)
And they will tear to pieces what they can't define
(Tobias)
Raise your mind
Biff Byford (Saxon)
If you don't follow your self- preservation drive
Michael Kiske (Ex elloween)
They'll crucify the one who won't affiliate
(Tobias)
Raise your mind
Biff Byford (Saxon)
But decorate the children of their own ego's way

Biff Byford (Saxon)
Time to run savior in the clockwork
(Tobias)
Tell me for how long will I wait on the grind
Biff Byford (Saxon)
Time flies on
(time will fly on)
Savior in the clockwork

(Tobias)
Take me back inside
In between the time
Time to run!
Savior in the clockwork tell me
For how long will I wait on the grind
Time flies on
(Time will fly on)
Savior in the clockwork take me back inside
In between the time

YES...it was hard as the chracter (not the singer) is listed for each line :pullhair:

Oh really? I have the album/artwork but didn't remember them breaking it down. I just asked in the thread spur of the moment as the youtube video posted the vocalist names and then I looked up who they were. When listening to it on the album I didn't knowq there were so many vocalist involved. :heheh:
