Inishmore - The Final Dance lyrics

rate me

The heavens strike fire and lightning hits the ground, <br />

The earth starts to rumble and Thunder to pound.<br />

This war has taken many lives and many still will fall, <br />

We're ready to fight tyranny we have heard the call.<br />

Salvation - Will they show mercy?<br />

Glorious - Will we survive?<br />

Nobel - Majestic and gentile! <br />

Destiny - They start the attack! <br />

I walk through the city where life filled the streets, <br />

Now it's a wasteland full of pain and of needs.<br />

And out of the twilight I see her come near, <br />

She takes my hand and her voice sounds so clear... <br />

It's the final dance in the old world, <br />

The band plays on when the lights go out.<br />

And the setting sun will enlighten the day, <br />

And the morning star will guide my way, <br />

When the time has come to die<br />

She leads me to this empty hall, <br />

A majestic ballroom of long gone times.<br />

The candles shining on the wall, <br />

Like an apocalyptic sign.<br />

I walk through this lost world, full of magic and might, <br />

Enchanted by it's beauty, forgotten is the pain outside.<br />

Out of nowhere an orchestra plays! <br />

She takes my hand and we start to dance, <br />

To this endtime symphonies melancholic and sad.<br />

And once again I hear her voice sound so clear, <br />

Her beautiful lips whisper soft in my ear... <br />

It's the final dance in the old world, <br />

The band plays on when the lights go out.<br />

And the setting sun will enlighten the day, <br />

And the morning star will guide my way, <br />

When the time has come to die<br />

I don't know how long we danced in this hall, <br />

But from one moment to the other it all was gone.<br />

We were dancing under stars on a hill next to town.<br />

The orchestra still played as the bombs struck the ground<br />

And fires burned in the city not far away, <br />

The night shone as bright as a long sunny day.<br />

The bombs they came closer and for the last time I hear, <br />

Her voice whispering soft into my ear...
