This is a particular snippet from Avantasia's Metal Opera - specifically from Part II, when Gabriel, the protagonist, comes face to face with the Tree of Knowledge.

Tree of Knowledge:

Coming from the wastelands, full of reason, common sense
Where their principles are blocking minds and you don't understand
Giving you belief, you never touch, you never see
But if you dare to try to grip it you're accused for heresy...

Gabriel:

Here I stand to find the truth, and for all I know
You're the one to show me, you can tell my spirit how to grow...

No, the more I try the more confusion on my mind
And no matter how I try, I feel my eyes seem to stay blind...

Tree of Knowledge:

No use in analyzing, forget about alchemy
'cause the secret of all truth is the quest for - and you'll feel...

When you knock right on the door "forever locked", they say,
A little man will let you in, for you have always tried... To get inside...

You're in quest for more to find the core,
Your journey still ain't over
Your quest is your purpose, go on...
You're in quest for more to find the core,
It will be -never- over
Your quest is your purpose, go on...
