[Lugaid]
Don't wait my friend
We better don't think twice
Time to fell the prison guard
You gotta realize
No turning back again
Therefore it's all too late
New horizons wait
I know the time has come
To leave your past behind
And now the time has come
To stop them
Controlling your mind
[Gabriel]
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away
Otherwise she will be dying
While both of us
Are lying here in chains
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away
Oh, otherwise she will be dying
While both of us
Are lying caught in chains
Breaking away
Always been a novice
In quest for paradise
Hope they will forgive me
For I apostatize
I can't be no hypocrite
Can't wear a masquerade
New horizons wait
[Lugaid & Gabriel]
And now the time has come
To go another way
To learn for life and to grow ripe
And prevent the decay
[Gabriel]
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away
Otherwise she will be dying
While both of us
Are lying here in chains
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away
Oh, otherwise she will be dying
While both of us
Are lying caught in chains
Hough! Ahh
[Gabriel]
Breaking away!
It is so hard to lay down
What I've been
But I must go even if my way
Leads to Hades
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away
Oh, otherwise she will be dying
While both of us
Are lying caught in chains
Breaking away!
All we can do now is break away
Oh, otherwise she will be dying
While both of us
Are lying caught in chains
