Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence lyrics

rate me

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 halls empty and cold

The sacrifice made should not be done in vain

Revenge will be taken by Rome

We 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 man have failed

But now he's gone

Go out and get it

The madman's head it shall be thine

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, 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

Misty tales and poems lost

All the bliss and beauty will be gone

May my weary soul find release for a while

At the moment of death I will smile

It's the triumph of shame and disease

In the end

Iliad

Raise my hands and praise the day

Brake 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 choosen misery

Power and wisdom

You deny

Bad choice

War is the only answer

When love will conquer fear

So the judgment's been made

To the fairest

The graceful says

Badly he fails

Warning

Fear the heat of passion, father king

Don't let him in

Don't let her in

Desire, lust, obssession

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 price

In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat

Jealousy

I can clearly see the end now

I can clearly see the end now

I can clearly see the end now

The thread of life in 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 man

Troy, Troy, Troy, Troy

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

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's still kept out of sight

We live

We die

Misty tales and poems lost

All the bliss and beauty will be gone

May my weary soul find release for a while

At the moment of death I will smile

It's the triumph of shame and disease

In the end

Iliad

Raise my hands and praise the day

Brake the spell, show me the way

In decay

The flame of Troy will shine bright

Roam in darkness

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 won't come back

They'll tear down the wall to bring it in

They'll truly believe in the lie

With blossoms they'll welcome the old foe

The vision's so clear

When day and dream unite

The end is near

You'd better be prepared

The nightmare shall be over now

There's nothing more to fear

Come join in our singing

And dance with us now

The nightmare shall be over now

There's nothing more to fear

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

Misty tales and poems lost

All the bliss and beauty will be gone

May my weary soul find release for a while

At the moment of death I will smile

It's the triumph of shame and disease

In the end

Iliad

Raise my hands and praise the day

Brake 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

Heading home

Still the wind blows

Calm and silent

Carries news from a distant shore

Out of mind

Can't get it

Can't get it out of my head

Sorrow and defeat

Sorrow and defeat
