Gamma Ray - "Avalon" (live video)
Walking through the mists again
Avalon, seem caught forever
I don't know where I belong
Holding on and waiting
Eternity, a lonely grave
From the haze of time I'm calling
Is our journey to begin
Or am I only dreaming
In a land far away from here
Like a star that's blinding
Heaven's magic silently appeared
And I'm leaving for the dawn
Is it true that I must sleep
Forevermore, just watching changes
Heaven knows the story is not over
And the knights will gather
Out in the cold, so long forgotten
Leaving the past behind
So timeless we're here, and we will reappear
To find god
From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon
Now has come the point of no return
And I'm feeling fire, fill my veins
The torches starts to burn
And the quest is starting
It's up to you to be forgotten
Saddle the horses now
The mindless shall fear when we all reappear
To rise up
From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon
13 Knights to reappear
Merlin can you, can you hear
Can you see the past and the tomorrow
Tell me can we now succeed
Find the grail and turn the key
Find a better future for us all
Ride on out and make the world
Brighter than a shiny pearl
For all
Heaven knows I wait for thee
Give my love eternally
I'm calling, calling for you on an island in the sun
Only wait for things to come
Never think about tomorrow
Building castles in the sand
Wait for you to take my hand
Without fear and without sorrow
From the land of make-believe
Comes the faith of the unbeliever
And the eyes of god have turned away
From Avalon
And belief is the holy grail
Of the fool and the mass deceiver
Turning good into evil deeds
So rise from Avalon
In the morning sun
Our journey has begun
Don't close your eyes and turn away
Put and end to all the grief
To the pain from the make-believe
Don't close your eyes and turn away
In the land of the unbeliever
Tear the mask of the mass deceiver
Don't close your eyes and turn away
In the rays of the morning sun
Our journey has begun
Don't close your eyes and turn away

Με την επιστροφή του Kai Hansen στους Helloween (το 2017) έχουν "μπει στον πάγο" οι Gamma Ray. Είναι χαρακτηριστικό πως από το 2015 και μετά κυκλοφορούν μόνο συλλογές (μία) και live albums (δύο).
"Ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένο θα είναι και το επόμενο δισκογραφικό πόνημα της μπάντας του Kai Hansen. Φέρει τον τίτλο "30 Years Live Anniversary", ηχογραφήθηκε - φιλμογραφήθηκε τον Αύγουστο ΤΟΥ 2020 στο Ντίσελντορφ της Γερμανίας και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Gamma Ray from Hamburg, Germany, have delivered impressive statements of their own musical philosophy to the worldwide heavy metal community for more than thirty years by now.
Founded and fronted by Kai Hansen after his departure from the famous German power metal band Helloween, Gamma Ray recorded eleven studio albums between 1989 and 2015. Besides Dirk Schlächter (bass), Henjo Richter (guitar), Michael Ehré (drums) and Frank Beck (vocals), Hansen is the band’s lead vocalist, guitarist and chief songwriter.
The expressive power of the band’s music is reflected in their energetic live shows. There’s hardly a renowned metal festival where Gamma Ray haven’t rocked the crowds, hardly an international magazine which hasn’t featured at least one Gamma Ray title story.
On the band’s upcoming live album called “30 Years Live Anniversary”, Gamma Ray would like to invite all of you to join once more the party of their exclusive and only show in 2020. In this time of Covid-19, the band was not able to play shows like they wanted to, so they decided to do a Live Streaming Event and set up a big stage in the ISS Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany.
This awesome event took place on Thursday, August 27th and was streamed to all fans all over the globe. Several cameras had recorded the very best of power metal with guest keyboard player Corvin Bahn & former (and first!!) Gamma Ray singer Ralf Scheepers as a very special guest!
This amazing live stream show will be released as a double live album on both audio and video on September 10th, 2021 via earMUSIC. Due to Covid, this concert -as you can imagine- took place without an audience.
This is why Gamma Ray decided to invite the fans to send in recordings of screaming, hailing and whistling to their favourite Gamma Ray songs, which will be added to the end of the show and gives fans the chance to participate on this release!
“30 Years Live Anniversary” is going to be out September 10 2021 as 2-CD Digipak + DVD, as 3xLP on black vinyl (+ Blu-ray in some countries), and digital. Furthermore, there will be a limited edition 3xLP on coloured vinyl (+ Blu-ray). Each of the three LPs is going to be pressed on a different vinyl colour.»
