Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence Lyrics
Turn your head and see the fields of flamesHe carries alongFrom a distant placeHe's on his wayHe'll bring decay(don't move along cause things they will go wrongthe end is getting closer day by day)in shades of greyWe're doomed to face the nightLight's out of sightSince we've reached the point of no returnWe pray for starlightWe wait for the moonThe sky is emptyAlone in the unknownWe're getting nowhereWe have been betrayedBy the wind and the rainThe sacred halls empty and coldThe sacrifice made should not be done in vainRevenge will be taken by RomeWe live a lieUnder the dying moonPale faced laughs doomIndulges in delightIt's getting out of handThe final curtain will fallHear my voiceThere is no choiceThere's no way outYou'll find outWe don't regret itSo many man have failedBut now he's goneGo out and get itThe madman's head it shall be thineWe don't regret itThat someone else dies hidden in disguiseGo out and get itOrion's hound shines brightDon't you think it's time to stop the chaseAround the ringJust stop running, runningRound the ringDon't you know that fate has been decidedBy the godsFeel the distance, distanceOut of reachWelcome to the end...Watch your step, CassandraYou may fallAs I've stumbled on the fieldSister mineDeath's a certain thingFind myself in darkest placesFind myself drifting awayAnd the otherworldThe otherworld appearsFind myself, she dies in vainI cannot be freedI'm falling downAs time runs fasterMoves towards disasterThe ferryman will wait for youMy dearAnd then there was silenceJust a voice from the otherworldLike a leaf in an icy worldMemories will fadeCHORUS:Misty tales and poems lostAll the bliss and beauty will be goneMay my weary soul find release for a whileAt the moment of death I will smileIt's the triumph of shame and diseaseIn the endIliadRaise my hands and praise the dayBrake the spell, show me the wayIn decayThe flame of Troy will shine brightThe newborn child would carry ruin to the hallThe newborn's death will be a blessing to us allGood choice?Bad choice?Out of threeYou've choosen miseryPower and wisdomYou denyBad choiceWar is the only answerWhen love will conquer fearSo the judgment's been madeTo the fairestThe graceful saysBadly he failsWarningFear the heat of passion, father kingDon't let him inDon't let her inDesire, lust, obssessionDeath they'll bringWe can't get outOnce they are inShe's like the sunriseOutshines the moon at nightPrecious like starlightShe'll bring in a murderous priceIn darkness grows the seed of man's defeatJealousyI can clearly see the end nowI can clearly see the end nowI can clearly see the end nowThe thread of life in spunThe coin's been placed below my tongueNever give upNever give inBe on our sideSo we can winNever give upNever give inBe on our sideOld moon's time is soon to comeNowhere to runNowhere to hideNothing to loseLike one we'll standWe'll face the stormCreated by manTroy, Troy, Troy, TroyAnd as the lionSlaughters manI am the wolfAnd you're the lambHallowed Troy shall fallRound the wallsFaith is shattered, bodies fallNowhere to runNowhere to hideNothing to loseLike one we'll standIt's all for one and one for allAll we live for will be wiped outI feel that something's wrongSurprise, surprise they're goneFull moon your time goes byAnd new moon's still kept out of sightWe liveWe dieRepeat chorusRoam in darknessSpread the visionWe will be lost if you truly believeTroy in darknessThere's a cold emptiness in our heartsThat they've gone awayAnd won't come backThey'll tear down the wall to bring it inThey'll truly believe in the lieWith blossoms they'll welcome the old foeThe vision's so clearWhen day and dream uniteThe end is nearYou'd better be preparedThe nightmare shall be over nowThere's nothing more to fearCome join in our singingAnd dance with us nowThe nightmare shall be over nowThere's nothing more to fearThe war it is over, forevermoreNo hopeThe blind leads the blindCarry onThough future's deniedMare or stallionThere's far more insideWe are in at the killWe'll cheerfully die-Repeat chorus -Its holy light shines onSo the judgement's been madeWe're condemned though the trial's far aheadThe crack of doomFatherYour handsome son is heading homeHeading homeStill the wind blowsCalm and silentCarries news from a distant shoreOut of mindCan't get itCan't get it out of my headSorrow and defeatSorrow and defeat
