Blind Guardian

And Then There Was Silence
Turn your head and see the fields of flames He carries along From a distant place He's on his way He'll bring decay (don't move along cause things they will go wrong the end is getting closer day by day) In shades of grey We're doomed to face the night Light's out of sight Since we've reached the point of no return We pray for starlight We wait for the moon The sky is empty Alone in the unknown We're getting nowhere We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain The sacred hall's empty and cold The sacrifice made should not be done in vain Revenge will be taken by Rome SongtexteWe live a lie under the dying moon Pale faced laughs doom Indulges in delight It's getting out of hand The final curtain will fall Hear my voice! There is no choice! There's no way out! You'll find out! We don't regret it So many men have failed But now he's gone Go out and get it The madman's head it shall be thyne We don't regret it That someone else dies hidden in disguise Go out and get it Orion's hound shines bright Don't you think it's time to stop The chase around the ring Just stop running, running Round the ring Don't you know that fate has been Decided By the gods Feel the distance Distance Out of reach Welcome to the end Watch your step, Cassandra You may fall As I've stumbled on the field (Sister mine Death's a certain thing) Find myself in darkest places Find myself drifting away And the otherworld The otherworld appears Find myself side she dies in vain I cannot be freed I'm falling down As time runs faster Moves towards disaster The ferryman will wait for you my dear And then there was silence Just a voice from the otherworld Like a leaf in an icy world Memories will fade [Chorus] Misty tales and poems lost All the bliss and beauty Will be gone Will my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of Death I will smile It's the triumph of shame and disease Iliad Raise my hands and praise the day Break the spell show me the way In decay The flame of Troy will shine bright The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall The newborn's death will be a blessing to us all Good choice? Bad choice? Out of three You've chosen misery Power and wisdom you deny (Bad choice, Bad choice) War is the only answer When love will conquer fear So the judgement's been made To the fairest the graceful says Badly he fails Warning! Feel the heat of passion father king (Don't let him in, don't let her in) Desire, lust, obsession - Death - they'll bring We can't get out once they are in She's like the sunrise Outshines the moon at night Precious like starlight She'll bring in a murderous prize In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat Jealousy! I can clearly see the end now! [x3] The thread of life is spun The coin's been placed below my tongue Never give up Never give in Be on our side So we can win Never give up Never give in Be on our side Old moon's time is soon to come Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Nothing to lose Like one we'll stand We'll face the storm Created by a man Troy! Troy! Troy! Troy! [Continued in background] And as the lion slaughters man I am the wolf and you're the lamb Hallowed Troy shall fall Round the walls Faith is shattered bodies fall Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Nothing to lose Like one we'll stand It's all for one and One for All We live for will be wiped out I feel that something's wrong Surprise, surprise they're gone Full moon your time goes by And new moon still kept out of sight We live - we die [Chorus] Misty tales and poems lost All the bliss and beauty Will be gone Will my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of Death I will smile It's the triumph of shame and disease Iliad Raise my hands and praise the day Break the spell show me the way In decay The flame of Troy will shine bright Roam in Darkness [x6] (Spread the vision) (We will be lost if you truly believe) - Troy in Darkness There's a cold emptiness in our hearts That they've gone away And wont come back They'll tear down the wall to bring it in They'll truly believe in the lie (Lie! Lie!) With blossoms they'll welcome the Old foe The vision's so clear When day and dream unite The end is near You better be prepared Nah ahahaahahahaaa! (Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah) The nightmare shall be over now There's nothing more to fear Nah ahahaahahahaaa! (Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah) Come join in our singing And dance with us now Nah ahahaahahahaaa! (Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah) The nightmare shall be over now There's nothing more to fear Nah ahahaahahahaaa! (Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah-nah-nah naaaaah) The war it is over forevermore No hope The blind leads the blind Carry on Though future's denied Mare or stallion There's far more inside We are in at the kill We'll cheerfully die [Chorus] Misty tales and poems lost All the bliss and beauty Will be gone Will my weary soul find release for a while At the moment of death I will smile It's the triumph of shame and disease Iliad Raise my hands and praise the day Break the spell show me the way In decay The flame of Troy will shine bright Its holy light shines on So the judgement's been made We're condemned though the trial's Far ahead The crack of doom Father Your handsome son is heading home Still the wind blows Calm and silent Carries news from a distant shore [x4] (Heading home!) [x2] Out of mind Can't get it Can't get it out of my head [x4] Aus Songtexte Mania
