Avantasia - Sign Of The Cross

Epic... fucking... song.

It still gives me chills when I listen to that album.

 

[waif]

The Tower is what gets me, with the piano intro and then the group singing along.
But yeah, the bit where it's like "slavery will drag your freedom down...down...down" and the drum bit and then "SEVEN EYES! TO BE BLIND FOREVER IN TIME! HELL ARISE! CASTIGATION UNDER THE SIGN! SIGN OF THE CROSS! MAKE US DROWN...IN ALTAR WINE!"

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I forgot about one of my favourites.

Sigh - Slaughtergarden Suite

 

[Einherjar86]

The Tower is what gets me, with the piano intro and then the group singing along.
But yeah, the bit where it's like "slavery will drag your freedom down...down...down" and the drum bit and then "SEVEN EYES! TO BE BLIND FOREVER IN TIME! HELL ARISE! CASTIGATION UNDER THE SIGN! SIGN OF THE CROSS! MAKE US DROWN...IN ALTAR WINE!"

I like The Tower too, but the beginning is the best part (exactly the part that you said).

Sign of the Cross is just so epic and awesome, all the way through. And even some of the lines in the verses are so poignant and effective.

"The blood of anger and pain- ink of the Old Testament."

I love that line.

 

[waif]

Reach Out For The Light is so epic...with the ill melody and then his voice being all "Lord above - why don't you tell me why I'm here in agony? I've been serving, I've been praying, now I'm caught in misery!" and then it's all "WE SHOULD BRING SALVATION NOT GIVE IN TO HIS TEMPTATION NO! READ AND PREACH THE HOLY WORD AND NO FORBIDDEN LIES THAT HURT!" and then it's all "what is going OOOOOONNNN!"
