The Wicked Symphony

You'll be running out of miracles Like I'm running out of dreams Madness lurking into my left Angels faint in front of me And I see eyes to the right I hear a promise resound Gold and diamonds, love and fame And music meant to remain You've been dying for glory You've been looking for love Why don't we read the signs When we're about to get lost? Oh, a seeker enthralled by a flame Eventually home to his pain The Great Unbeloved You reach for the final stage Hey man in your hideaway Where do we go from here? Heroes in the tragedy Down-home just a memory Where do we go When the world gets in the way? Way down to the hide away, afflatus Divine! Your hands and a wicked symphony Hey now to the hideaway Lock up the rain for a wicked symphony Don't you give up on your emotions Don't you abandon your despair If you deny what you desire This will have been just a mystery play There'll be nowhere to go Just oblivion, we're so close to reach out Close to fall, make up or break up or crawl You are striving for beauty For a song to remain A final touch and the spirit you have cited Holds on to the reins I feel how I'm losing my ground A dancer enthralled by a sound The smoke clears away I'll reach for the final stage Hey man in your hideaway Where do we go from here? Heroes in the tragedy Down-home just a memory Where do we go When the world gets in the way? Way down to the hide away, afflatus Divine! Your hands and a wicked symphony Hey now to the hideaway Lock up the rain for a wicked symphony Oh I can hear it, I can hear it Oh I can hear it, I, I, I, I... I can hear it, yeah I'm dying for a sign You can turn your face away can pretend you don't hear it How long have you been begging on your knees? And now that you're near it Won't you be damned if you defy what you're given Mercury of salvation The colors for the eyes of the world We'll be kings for generations Hey man in your hideaway Where do we go from here? Heroes in the tragedy Down-home just a memory Where do we go When the world gets in the way? Way down to the hide away, afflatus Divine! Your hands and a wicked symphony Hey now to the hideaway Lock up the rain for a wicked symphony

A moment of glory The blink of an eye and it's all gone You hide in confinement Dark is the cell that you call home We pretend to be blind everytime it hurts to see You, you close your eyes To blink the night away At ease in the wastelands You, you're dead and blind You sanctify the way Blindfold in the wastelands Don't tell me in pain The end doesn't justify the means Spado, ascetic It's easy to sermonize in jealousy Now I'm off to life I'm changing sides Your final goodbye You, you close your eyes To blink the tears away Love hurts in the wastelands You, you're old and blind You sacrifice it all Lost in the wastelands You, you close your eyes To blink the night away At ease in the wastelands You, you’re dead and blind You sanctify the way Blindfold in the wastelands

Predetermination, belief Veracity of incidents Reconciliation Between justice and tomorrow You're innocent It's only human to just close your eyes Blinding fury, part of paradise Heaven justifies To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block At the scaffold scales held even To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block Look away, scales held even You owe the power and your pace To the brute that's running after you Humiliation's growing hate Righteous anger driving you Cut off the hand That tries to keep me back Blinding fury, a piece of paradise Cause heaven justifies To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block At the scaffold scales held even To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block Look away, scales held even Just close your eyes, just look away What you don't want to know Ain't gonna hurt you Time passes by, we all die anyway And no nothing remains Whatever you say, whatever you do To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block At the scaffold scales held even To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block Look away, scales held even To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block At the scaffold scales held even To take your eyes off the drag Walking to the block Look away, scales held even, oh!

Faces in this empty room Cited in despair Gazes that I had invoked They're driving me insane now Walls have eyes they're staring down on me From everywhere around In the face of dreams I had Grimaces of pain Now I am turning helpless Callous and alone Waiting for a storm to brew To wash my dream and love and sins away I'm with you I'm the other side You just gotta try Fly now! No one's gonna care Cause no one's gonna know What no one's ever seen Close your eyes now Kingdom on the broken mirror Close your eyes now Blizzard on the broken mirror The scent of goodbye They're dying away: the sands of time Sands of time Fortune favors just the brave That's what the blessed always say Love will come in time But I'm always late I pray the one my will to take And those evil hands to tie Wreaking havoc, baneful sight is growing dim Tie the dream I've had my fill Raze the love and tie my will Fires ploughing up my head Oh forgive I will forget Lord are you hiding in the haze? The seventh door I'll try is daze Angel send another storm to face another dawn Close your eyes now Kingdom on the broken mirror Close your eyes now Blizzard on the broken mirror The scent of goodbye They're dying away: the sands of time Close your eyes now (Kingdom on the broken mirror) Close your eyes now (Blizzard on the broken mirror) The scent of goodbye They’re dying away: the sands of time Sands of time They’re dying away: the sands of time...

Goodbye Your pocket full of dreams Your mind in a daze Keep on chasing rainbows Fly high Leave the past behind The dark road you take bears no escape In a world of grand illusions Where love is just a dream You gotta make your sacrifices Time to pick your poison The fool is he who is noble minded And bellies up to poverty He's not a king in the world of diamonds Paling into oblivion I lay down my soul for glory I've given a life away Don't know if I am sorry Blind me, blind me Don't know where I'll be going I gotta get away From the pain of recollection Drawn into the faint Hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain No turning back Hang on to a runaway train Take me away If I'm a stranger to myself Then I better gotta stay away Even better gotta get away, get away Time to pick my poison Feel the devil sitting in my neck Straight ahead into the unknown Oh father I forgive you for I Don't know what I'm doing It's only human nature To keep away from pain Take a train to ecstasy oh Ride on, ride on Inhale the scent of heaven Respire the smell of fame You've been to hell and back You can't change things anyway, no I hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain No turning back I hang on to a runaway train Take me away Reaching out to rule the world you'll watch the mirror shatter As you'll be dazzled by the sight Once only diamonds mattered How can you justify the way When you wake up screaming? Will you pretend that you were blind When you were really seeing? Your image everywhere The looking glass: a sheet of ice It's thick enough to dance on In a frozen realm of lies But the ice will break And you will scream repenting Oh boy the ice will break You'll just feel your heart rending Riding on to a world of funny flowers Riding on to the white wide world If coming back would hurt my pride I rather take another ride Riding on, winter on the mirror Riding on into the unknown If I'll awake in pain one day I gotta catch just one more train Days gone by Who'd wanna live forever On our knees up your road Paved with good intentions Fly high Where angels can't breathe no more Some dare to go blind Some stay behind I hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain I hang on to a runaway train Take me away Hang on to a runaway train No turning back Tethered to a runaway train Take me away Torpid in the wind and rain in the wind and rain I hang on to that runaway train

Ill-defined as I look in the mirror Am I blind, am I blind? Am I given or just a straying fool? Feel it near Something's here to watch I feel their eyes sending shivers down my spine Evil eyes, evil eyes See me crawling as I'm falling off the edge Paralyze, tantalize Feel it there From everywhere it sounds And you'll fall away from heaven Once you know you can't take no more of it You will fall away from heaven By the time you can see the crime against you Hey - desperation Angels crashing from the sky How can you hold on to your way In your mental disarray? I am your struggles The answer to your pain I am the fury in your eyes I am reason, I am vice It's there From everywhere it sounds And you'll fall away from heaven Once you know you can't take no more of it You will fall away from heaven By the time you can see the crime against you And you’ll fall away from heaven Once you know you can’t take no more of it You will fall away from heaven By the time you can see the crime against you And you’ll fall away from heaven Once you know you can’t take no more of it You will fall away from heaven By the time you can see the crime against you...

Oh yeah, oh... Young is the day Still it's the same The same old tomorrow Colors too bright So dream in black and white If you wanna rise from the hollow The future in sight The past in your head Nightmare or treason The father above you as you Walk through the ashes Don't you run out of reason You keep waiting For your choice to be made There ain't no bounty For the number of passions You rein in for love You are defying the devil Forever this time But you can't imagine Forever will drag on a long long time You are defying salvation The wait is your crime Stalemate in virtue we falter Forever is a long time Pleasure and pain feel all the same To the dreamer who's trying to get closer Strange how it feels in reality When your fairytale is over No right or wrong I just keep going on And I don't get lost in belief Falter and pray Keep looking away I don't wanna see We keep on waiting For a choice to be made There ain't no bounty for the passion We rein in for love You are defying the devil Forever this time But you can't imagine Forever will drag on a long long time You are defying salvation The wait is your crime Stalemate in virtue we falter Forever is a long time! Forever is a long time It's gonna take forever Oh - young is the day Still it's the same The same old tomorrow Colors too bright So dream in black and white Wanna rise from the hollow You are defying the devil Forever this time But you can't imagine Forever will drag on a long long time You are defying salvation The wait is your crime Stalemate in virtue we falter Forever is a long time

I've been here through a million ages I am the savior inside Tonight I am love and justice Tomorrow perversion to spite And now that it's bleeding you dry I'm calling you, I'm calling you When temperance is bleeding you dry I'm knocking you off the perch And out in the rain I'll hide under wings I'd curse in sunlight Out in the rain You can break me and take me away On wings of fury Live your tragic comedy I'm the poison in your veins Circumspection, vanity You give all they can take I am fury, I am fire, I'm the worm inside Deliver you from self-denial tonight When temperance is bleeding you dry I'm inside And out in the rain I'll hide under wings I'd curse in sunlight Out in the rain You can break me and take me away On wings of fury Who do you think you are to tell me what to say? Who do you think you are to tell me what to play? And what not to break? And out in the rain I'll hide under wings I'd curse in sunlight Out in the rain You can break me and take me away On wings of fury

Your mind to infinity Let reason rivet on your feet or you may fall You're drawn into a distant glow You dream of voices from on high But can't evade another rainy night And putting on another show Hate and affection Pleasure and pain Modes of vibration Unveiling to be all the same And when the final day has come It's another state of matter And when you face another sun It's the union of the states of matter Oh yeah! Oh... yeah... Failure and defeat and all the riches surely beat Where I have been and what I have been before And when the sands of time run low Commemoration of a lonely crow That would have made it through the door Light and affection Darkness and pain Mind of matter The All's gonna make it all the same And when the final day has come Another state of matter When you will face another sun Union of the states of matter Light and affection Darkness and pain Mind of matter The All’s gonna make it all the same And when the final day has come It’s another state of matter And when you will face another sun It’s the union of the states of matter

When I was sent to walk this long cold way I’d never meant to take it all this far Nobody told me I was bound to stray You gave me visions and cut out this part When the journey is over Then what will remain But a churchyard of angels Don’t need no glory the bottle and I Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge Don’t need no glory till the river’s run dry I won’t cry for sympathy as I hang on the edge, oh... When you were shackles chances passed me by I’ve broken free Now I’m free falling Laid down my arms as you laid down the lie: Those words you didn’t say when I was calling Fingers bleed onto the ivory They dance on the keys To a churchyard of angels Don’t need no glory the bottle and I Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge Don’t need no glory till the river’s run dry I won’t cry for sympathy as I hang on the edge No, don’t need no glory the bottle and I Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge Don’t need no glory till the river’s run dry I won’t cry for sympathy as I hang on the edge Don’t need no glory the bottle and I Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge Don’t need no glory the bottle and I Don’t need no sympathy at all as I hang on the edge Hang on the edge...

Another star has fallen without a sound Another spark has burned out in the cold Another door to barrens standing open And who is there to tell me not to give and not to go How could I know? how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever How could I know? how could I see? feeling like lost in space to roam forever I'm crawling down The doorway to the badlands And kicking down Are you heard: it's to the black and all the damage fading in the oblivion mirror When the demons are calling me, they’re dragging me away How could I know?, how could I know? That I'll get lost in space to roam forever How could I know?, how could I see? feeling like lost in space to roam forever Lost in space lost in time Lost in space Lost in Time Lost in Space How could I know, how could I know How could I know, How could I know That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever How could I now, how could I see feeling like lost in space to roam forever Forever...
