Avantasia - Carry Me Over Lyric

Special dedication to someone, somewhere...

Never been told my prayers would be answered
Wherever I go, I see you around
Never been told that something that beautiful
Would bring me up to let me down

Waiting up on the roof
Waiting up in the rain
Just to catch a glimpse of your face

Even when you're around
Still I'm out of sight, out of sound
In your world I'm out of place

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

You're like a ghost that I can't let go
You follow every step that I take
Never thought someone could be too close to you
Now across the street is miles away

And now I might as well
Be the man on the moon
I am watching but you don't seem aware

But I won't be around
I'll be out of sight, out of sound
Someone's gonna wait, somewhere

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

(Solo)

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

Carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now
Somebody carry me over
Carry me over
Carry me over now

Johnny Icon's Updates!

Im more than happy about the news posted by the one who used to be the leader of the Gothic metal band Icon and the Black Roses.

Icon and The Black Roses broke up in 2004, and after almost 4 years, Johny the leader of the band posted the next statement in his official Myspace page.

"Sorry for taking so long to write messages but my days have been hectic lately. I have decided it has been a long time since i have written something here so here is a little update on how things are going.

My own solo album recordings are pretty much paused for the time being. The good news is Icon & the black roses' demos for the new album are almost ready. We already know the 12 songs that will be part of the album. We will soon start recording drums. I will keep you posted on that.

In this new album i might only sing 4 to 6 tracks... the others will be sang by Sean and Sebastian. I think you will be quite pleasently surprised by their voices!

Once I am done with the demos and while the guys are recording the drums and bass guitars for Icon's album I will go back to my own album. I think the first track will be available early the next year."

Well i have reasons to dance, i've waiting for too long...

Turisas! Battle Metal grabacion en Monterrey

Con los amigos hay que estar en los momentos buenos, en los momentos malos...y en los extraÃ±os O_o

En fin..aqui la info

Between happiness and Sadness..Im still

Hello Everybody!!!

I completely back!! And hope give life to this page again.

Truth life facts keep me away from this world, last weekend was weird, many things came up, so I have many things to talk about or claim about..

The first one is about again cycle of life, someone who I knew passed away, but something I can say is she lived with all her heart, so this is not bad, she lives this world leaving nothing but love in all the persons around her, all the things happened so naturalâ�¦no pain. Iâ�™m not sad, maybe a little melancholic. Also a workmate passed awayâ�¦and that surprised me! He was too young! As a friend told me was a heart attack because the work stress. He was a lonely person L , and well seems that everybody around him learnt the lesson and are taking with more clam work, and that can become our lifeâ�¦. Well im trying to do the same but some user doesnâ�™t leave me haha, but I hope tomorrow he left me in peace. Anyways I have a life outside here and you all know it hehe

Second fact, I missed a concert last week, on Friday, many of you know that and I was all bored in home thinking how it could be, just yesterday I got the report of it, but not complete, and it was something terrible and stupid!!! As ppl told me the police came to the concert and start some kind of inspection in the areaâ�¦some kind of violent inspection!!!!! And I though WTF????!! How they came that way in the middle(or beginning...iâ�™m not sure) of a concert and assaulting everybodyâ�¦ sadly some ppl I know got injured and abused for that sign of arrogance from those who supposed must take care of us. They can stop any fucking robbery or traffic-execution!, many persons still missing, is becoming normal executed ppl appear on streets and they never do nothing haha they got scared! But they come to this site and use all his power that wayâ�¦I donâ�™t know if it also could be for some kind of racism or elitism, Ibex rock bar is in the end of one street where you can also find elitist bar, those where you are not admitted if youâ�™re not a white chick, pretty and anorexic in a BMW, Iâ�™ve see many shows of girls completely drunk and doped over there, and Juniorâ�™s fights in the middle of the street, and in those situations never see a police man O_o sorry I get indignate and sad because this is the place I live and love, and really I would like this kind of things never happened! But well its fucking mex and this is how everything moves.

And well in other more happy things..i mean "Concerts" I can say ill have a good year!

Scorpions has confirmed an awesome and unique show for Monterrey city, it will be called Acousticâ�¦amplified, It will not be an acoustic set, but it will included many guest a percussionist, a keyboard player, a flamenco guitar player, a cello player, a violinist and 3 choristers of pink floyd , so I didnâ�™t miss that concert last year, and it was so beautiful, one of the best ive seen into the arena Monterrey, so I will not miss this one.

Next weeks ill have Megadeth after some cancellations in the past this time Dave and company try it again, with very good results! 2 shows in Mexico city are already sold out, only here in Monterrey you can find ticketsâ�¦(again Monterrey shows the less love for metal). Also Rockstone productions had planned some 80â�™s concerts! And it promise be so cool as those who they did before, first on 18 of June with Firehouse and Skid Row, sadly I can not go, 2^nd time I miss Skid Row, and Ratt on 27, the place of concert is unique and has good acoustic, so I hope not miss that concert.

But the most important for me come next weekend!!! On Saturday Dark Tranquility is coming, I never see them live, and Iâ�™m not sure if ill be able to go this time -__- and the reasons is im flying to Mexico next day just to see Avantasia!!! J im so excited about it! Is the first time I go to a show out of the city and this one promise be something unique!! I admire so much the work of Tobias Sammet, I become his fan after see him live 2 years ago during a metal fest, with Edguy, now he is coming to Mexico with a complete army o musicians and singers to present his so claimed Metal opera concept, Avantasia, He will tour with this only on 15 cities around the world before start recording for Edguyâ�™s new album, 3 shows already were given in Europe, they bring a complete set, they show has confirmed 8 guest but some people informed me 2 more are coming and nobody knows who they are. Well the persons involved on this are:

Tobias Sammet: The mastermind of the project, and the main character of the 3 albums, se he will sing in all the songs hehe)

Jorn Lande: He is Mephistopheles in Scarecrow album, he has been the singer of bands like Vagabond, the snakes, Millennium and Masterplan, he also record 2 albums with Russell Allen from Symphony X, and was one of the Forever for the Album 01011001 of Ayreon and currently he has also record solo.

Oliver Hartmann: Fornication in Scarecrow, Pope Clemens IIX in Metal Opera I, and Pope Clemens VIII in Metal Opera II. He is a guitarist/singer/songwriter, He was the founder of At Vance and currently play in Empty tremor, also has a solo career, and has appareances in albums of bands like ainia, Helloween, Rhapsody, Freedom Call and Edguy

Cloudy Yang: I donâ�™t know so much about her, she has a band which use her name and Sascha Paeth play guitar on it, I suppose she will be Anna Held, character of Metal opera I and II that was recorded by Sharon Den Adel.

Bob Catley: im not sure if he will be able to come on this show, but seems he is not, he is the good spirit inside in Scarecrow album, well he is better know for his work in the England metal band magnum and he also work in Ayreonâ�™s latest album as one of Ferever

Andre Matos: He is Elderane, the elf in metal opera II, now is working solo, but he was the singer of Shaaman and Angra, also worked with several bands like Avalanch, Aina, Nepa, Karma.

Those are just the singers :P the musicians are:

Sascha Paeth on guitars. Music producer, compositor for several heavy metal bands, that I can not list them all.

Robert Hunecke in the bass, he was member of Heavenâ�™s gate and has wotked with bands like Kamelot and Aina.

Michael "Miro" Rodenberg on keyboards he also is producer of bands that share with Sascha hehe.

..and on the drums im not sure who will come, it could be Frank Linderthal or Felix Bohnke of Edguy

And lets see who are the other 2 unknown members, Hansen said he will participate in some presentations not in all, well I wont make suppositions, ill just wait to see what more Mr Sammet has for us.

After read that you know my heavy metal side couldnâ�™t resist and I can not miss this! Everything is ready now!! Just wish me luck!..sadly donâ�™t wait good pictures of it, in concert halls in Mexico city cameras are not allowed... ill try my best with a poor cell phone.

THERION IS OVER?!

This is what i read today...

Dear Fans,

Today we have an announcement that will come as a shock to all of you. The four permanent
members of the band have had some discussions and it is clear that we have different
goals and visions for the future. Therefore it is best for the band, our selves as
individuals and for the fans that we go separate ways now when there is still plenty of
time before the next Therion album and World Tour.
This means that Christofer will continue with Therion and the others will perform their music in other projects and bands.

We're all still friends, no one is disappointed and there's still some work we have left
to do together in terms of editing of materials we have recorded for future DVD's.

Best regards to all of you and thank you so much for the wonderful support you have given
the band during the time we have played together.

Christofer, Kristian, Johan and Petter.

This statment was posted in their official page >.< fuck!

Thought Therion is not a band anymore but can used as nick name for Christofer Â¬Â¬ ...again new members :(
