Lyrics of the Day:

"Withered roses dying on the ledge
A withered dreamer standing on the edge
You dream of love, wake up to pain
You're better off to join in my game"

- "The Scarecrow" from The Scarecrow (album released 1-25-2008) by Avantasia
In the next part of the Scarecrow's story, he laments his poor romantic skills. As he does this, he is visited by Mephistopheles (played by Jørn Lande). Mephisto attempts to sway him to the side of evil, warning him that his crush (we'll meet her in "Carry Me Over," and she'll start singing - played by Amanda Somerville - in "What Kind of Love") doesn't like him, but he'll help him "rise to fame" and make her regret turning him away. However, the Scarecrow doesn't accept his offer. This isn't the last we'll see of Mephisto, though... he'll return in "Another Angel Down."

(Note: Michael Kiske also joins in singing the chorus at the end of the song, but he doesn't play any characters in the Wicked Trilogy, from what I can tell.)

Lyrics of the Day:

"One of a kind they say they've never seen before
Investigate the aberration, disorder in the core
I never tried to hide away or tried to keep your pace
You walk me to the slaughter with a smile upon your face"

- "Twisted Mind" from The Scarecrow (album released 1-25-2008) by Avantasia
From today until September 6th, I will be posting every song from Avantasia's Wicked Trilogy, in chronological order, and doing my best to analyze the lyrics and figure out the full story. Wish me luck.

The first part of the saga, The Scarecrow, opens with this track. It introduces our main character, the Scarecrow, played by Tobias Sammet, who has just had a psychiatric evaluation from a doctor played by Roy Khan. He is diagnosed with altered sensory perception, and in the first verse, the Scarecrow comments on how the doctor is taking him to an asylum to be medicated - "you walk me to the slaughter with a smile upon your face." The whole song is essentially a commentary on how society treats the mentally ill, drugging them up until they're a shell of their former self instead of giving them proper treatment, and looking at them as, to quote song, monstrosities of nature. The song ends with the Scarecrow repeatedly saying "there's no way out." (However, there seems to be, since he's up and about exploring the world and falling in love for the rest of the album.)
