Stratovarius založili v roce 1984 bubeník a zpěvák Tuomo Lassila, baskytarista John Vihervä a kytarista Staffan Strahlman. Hudba Stratovarius byla v té době trochu jiná, než co hrají Stratovarius teď. Byli velmi ovlivnění Black Sabbath a Ozzy...

Elements
Welcome to my world 
Close the gates 
You've come from far away 
I've been expecting you 
You are the holders of the key 
To the story that never ends 


Fantasia 
Resides deep in your heart 
Leave your worries far behind 
Fantasia 
Let the freedom ring the bell 
Let us all unite 
Borders made of hate are gone 
Nations singing the song of peace 
In Fantasia 


How would it be? A world without hate 
Without heaven, without hell 
No wars, no arms, no religion, no god 
Just your own truth 


Fear and darkness will prevail 
But finally they will fail 


Fantasia 
Resides deep in your heart 
Leave your worries far behind 
Fantasia 
Let the freedom ring the bell 
Let us all unite 
Borders made of hate are gone 
Nations singing the song of peace 
In Fantasia 


Fantasia 
One day when love conquers all 
Mankind will prevail 
No more jealousy 
Fantasia 
No more envy no deceit 
The nothing is gone 
Future's bright and glorious 
We are all victorious 
We are kings in Fantasia
