LETRAS DO ÁLBUM - SABOTAGE

Hole In The Sky

Black Sabbath

I'm looking through a hole in the sky
I'm seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie
I'm getting closer to the end of the line
I'm living easy where the sun doesn't shine

I'm living in a room without any view
I'm living free because the rent's never due
The synonyms of all the things that I've said
Are just the riddles that are built in my head

Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven
Window in time, through it I fly

I've seen the stars disappear in the sun
The shooting's easy if you've got the right gun
And even though I'm sitting waiting for Mars
I don't believe there's any future in cause

Hole in the sky, take me to heaven
Window in time, through it I fly
Yeah

I've watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast
I've seen the western world go down in the east
The food of love became the greed of our time
But now I'm living on the profits of pride

Compositor: Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne

Symptom Of The Universe

Black Sabbath

Take me through the centuries to supersonic years
Electrifying enemy is drowning in his tears
All I have to give you is a love that never dies
The symptom of the universe is written in your eyes

Yeah
Yeah

Mother mooch is calling me back to her silver womb
Father of creation takes me from my stolen tomb
Seventh night the unicorn is waiting in the skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

Yeah
Yeah

Take my hand, my child of love come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean I've been crying all these years
When our love will ride away into eternal skies
A symptom of the universe, a love that never dies

Yeah
Yeah

Woman's god of love's creation, come and step inside my dreams
In your eyes I see no sadness, you are all that loving means
Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
We'll find happiness together in the summer skies of love

The Thrill Of It All

Black Sabbath

Sabotage

Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift
With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry
Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die

Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can?
When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in Man?
If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold
Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it
'Cause I've got no reason to lie, yeah
Forget your problems that don't even exist
And I'll show you a way to get high, oh yeah
Oh yeah!

So come along, you know you matter to me
Remember freedom is not hard to find, yeah
Time to stop all your messing around
Don't you think that I know my own mind, oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Why can't you believe, it's not here to perceive
Do you always have to be told, yeah
For you have been taught that if your mind has been bought
Life's entire answer was sold, oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Am I Going Insane (Radio)

Black Sabbath

Everybody's looking at me, feeling paranoid inside
When I step outside I feel free, think I'll find a place to hide
Tell me people, am I going insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane?

Every day I sit and wonder how my life it used to be
Now I feel like going under, now my life is hard to see
So tell me people, am I going insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane?

So I'm telling all you people, listen while I sing again
If I don't sound very cheerful, I think that I'm a schizophren
So tell me people, am I going insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Writ

Black Sabbath

Sabotage

The way I feel is the way I am
I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you
Just to you

What kind of people do you think we are?
Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you
Just for you

The faithful image of another man
The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you
Yeah for you

The shot troopers laying down on the floor
I wish they'd put an end to my running war with you
Yeah with you

Are you metal, are you man?
You've changed in life since you began
Yeah began

Ladies digging gold from you
Will they still dig now you're through
Yeah you're through

You bought and sold me with your lying words
The voices in the deck that you never heard came through
Yeah came through

Your folly finally got to spend with a gun
A poisoned father who has poisoned his son, that's you
Yeah that's you

I beg you please don't let it get any worse
The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you
Yeah curse you

All of the promises that never came true
You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true
Ah, that's true

Are you Satan, are you man?
You've changed in life since it began
It began

Vultures sucking gold from you
Will they still suck now you're through

(Cats, Rats)

The search is on, so you just better run
And find yourself another way
Probably dead, they don't feel a thing
To keep them living for another day

(Rats, Rat)

You are nonentity, you have no destiny
You are a victim of a thing unknown
A mantle picture of a stolen soul
A fornication of your golden throne

A smiling face, it means the world to me
So tired of sadness and of misery

My life it started some time ago
Where it will end, I don't know
I thought I was so good
I thought I was fine
I feel my world is out of time

But everything is gonna work out fine
If it don't I think I'll lose my mind

I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know
Listen to me while I sing this song
You might just think the words are wrong
Too many people advising me
But they don't know what my eyes see

But everything is gonna work out fine

 

LETRS DO ÁLBUM Paranoid

War Pigs

Black Sabbath

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs at the power
Hand of god has struck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

Finished with my woman
Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because
I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if
I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me? Occupy my brain ?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now all of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late

Planet Caravan

Black Sabbath

Paranoid

We sail,
through endless skies,
stars shine like eyes,
the black night sighs.

The moon,
in silver trees,
falls down in tears,
light of the night.

The Earth,
a purple blaze,
of sapphire haze,
in orbit always.

While down,
below the trees,
bathed in a coll breeze,
silver starlight breaks down the night.

And so,
we pass on by,
the crimson eye,
of great god Mars,
as we travel...
the universe...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iron Man

Black Sabbath

I am iron man!

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Electric Funeral

Black Sabbath

Reflexes in the sky warn you you're gonna die
Storm coming, You'd better hide
from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky
turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay,
Radiation minds decay

Robot minds of robot slaves
Lead them to atomic graves
Plastic flowers, melting sun,
fading moon falls upon
Dying world of radiation,
Victims of man's frustration
Burning glow of unseen fire,
like electric funeral pyre

Buildings crashing
down to the stoney ground
Rivers turn to wood,
ice melts into blood

Earth lies in death bed,
Clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away, here's the burning pay
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
Electric funeral
Electric funeral

And so in the sky shines the electric eye
Supernatural king takes earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings,
Hell's angels black their wings
Evil souls fall to hell,
Ever trapped in burning cells!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hand Of Doom

Black Sabbath

What you gonna do? Time's caught up with you
Now you wait your turn, you know there's no return

Take your written rules, you join the other fools
Turn to something new, now it's killing you

First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm
Disillusioning, you push the needle in

From life you escape, reality's that way
Colours in your mind satisfy your time

Oh you, you know you must be blind
To do something like this
To take the sleep that you don't know
You're giving Death a kiss,
Oh, little fool now

Your mind is full of pleasure
Your body's looking ill
To you it's shallow leisure
So drop the acid pill, don't stop to think now

You're having a good time baby
But that won't last
Your mind's all full of things
You're living too fast
go out enjoy yourself
Don't bottle it in
You need someone to help you
To stick the needle in, yeah

Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning
green
Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality

Push the needle in, face death's sickly grin
Holes are in your skin, caused by deadly pin

Head starts spinning 'round, you fall down to the
ground
Feel your body heave, Death's hands starts to weave

It's too late to turn, you don't want to learn
Price of life you cry, now you're gonna die

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies Wear Boots

Black Sabbath

Goin' home late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and suprise what I saw:
Fairy boots are dancin' with a dwarf
All right now!

Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Ohh, right now!

Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Allright now!

So I went to the doctor to see what he would give me
He said, "Son, son, you've gone too far,
'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."

Yeahhhhhh!

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

Black Sabbath

You see right through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies-lies-lies-lies-lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Would take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies-lies-lies-lies-lies
You bastards!

Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burns out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah

Everything around you
What's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you, yeah...

A National Acrobat

Black Sabbath

Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath

I am the world that hides the universal
Secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces is my
One and only crime

I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child who never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well

The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the face of those who never ran

You gotta believe me
I'm talking to you

Well I know its hard for you to know the reason why
And I know you'll understand when it's time to die
Don't believe the life you have will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep to let your soul live on

I want you to listen
I'm trying to get through

Love has given life to you and now its your concern
Unseen eye of inner life will make your soul return
Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what its worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring
Ha Ha!!

Someone to love me
You know she makes me feel alright

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we're making love

Feels so good to know that she's all mine
Going to love that woman till the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me till the end of time
Makes me feel happy
Good to know that she's all mine

Lovely lady make love all night long

Mystifying eyes

Killing Yourself To Live

Black Sabbath

Well people look and people stare
Well I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give?
You're only killing yourself to live
Killing Yourself To Live!
Killing Yourself To Live!

Just take a look around you, what do you see?
Pain, suffering, and misery
It's not the way the world was planned
It's a pity you don't understand
Killing Yourself To Live!
Killing Yourself To Live!

I'm telling you!
Believe in me!
Nobody else will tell you
Open your eyes!
And see the lies!
Oh yeah!

Smoke it!
Get high!

You think that I'm crazy
And baby I know that it's true

Before that you know it
I think that you'll go crazy too

I don't know if I'm up or down
Whether black is white or blue is brown
The colors in my life are all different somehow
Little boy blue is a big girl now

Suddenly it's me who's strange
But you've never had to make the change
Never give your trust away
You'll end up paying 'till your dying day

Compositor: Ozzy Osbourne

Who Are You?

Black Sabbath

Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath

Yes I know the secret
That's within your mind
You think all the people
Who worship you are blind
You're just like Big Brother
Giving us your trust
And when you have played enough
You'll just cast our souls
Into the dust
Into the dust

You thought that it would be easy
from the very start
Now I've found you out
I don't think you're so smart
I only have one more question
Before my time is through
Please I beg you tell me
In the name of hell
Who are you?
Who are you?

Looking For Today

Black Sabbath

Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath

It's complete but obsolete
All tomorrow's become yesterday
In demand but second hand
It's been heard before you even play

Up to date but came too late
Better get yourself another name
You're so right but overnight
You're the one who has to take the blame

Everyone just gets on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can't believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried

Don't delay you're in today
But tomorrow is another dream
Sunday's star is Monday's scar
Out of date before you're even seen

At the top so quick to flop
You're so new but rotting in decay
Like butterfly so quick to die
But you're only looking for today

Everyone just gets on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can't believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried
Looking for today

Glamour trip so soon to slip
Easy come but oh how quick it goes
Ten foot tall but what to fall
Hard to open yet so easy to close
Front page news but so abused
You just want to hide yourself away
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you're only looking for today
Looking for today

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spiral Architect

Black Sabbath

Sorcerers of madness
selling me their time
Child of God sleeping in the sun
Keeping peace of mind
Pictures of seduction
On a flat stone sky
Sadness fills the supermen
Even fathers cry

Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself
And see my world
And know that it is good

You know that I should

Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchranated underneath
The Spiral sky
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disguise

Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories
And feel their warmth
And know that they are good

You know that I should

Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metophoric motories
Say give, give, give
Laphitistic love is showing
How to lead the way
Spiral City architect
I feel you're pain

Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my Earth
And feel the warmth
And know that it is good

You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should

LETRAS DO ÁLBUM - BLACK SABBATH

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one - Oh no!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watch those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!

Child cries out for his mother
Mother's screaming in the fire
Satan points at me again
Opens the door to push me in
Oh No!

This is the end my friend
Satan's coming 'round the bend
people running 'cause they're scared
You people better go and beware!
No! No! Please! No!

The Wizard

Black Sabbath

Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, a wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, trinkling bell

Never talking
Just keep walking
spreading his magic

Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

Never talking
Just keep walking
spreading his magic

Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine

Never talking
Just keep walking
spreading his magic

Behind The Wall Of Sleep

Black Sabbath

Precious cups within the flower
deadly petals with strange power
faces shine a deadly smile
back up on you at your trial

Chill and numbs from head to toe
icy sun with frosty glow
Why'd you go reaching your sorrow?
why'd you go read no tomorrow

Feel your spirit rise with the priest
feel your body falling to its knees
Take your walk of remorse
take your body to a corpse
take your body to a corpse
take your body to a corpse
if you want all remorse
take your body to a corpse

Now from darkness, there springs light
Wall of Sleep is cold and bright
Wall of Sleep is lying broken
Sun shines in, you are awoken

N.I.B.

Black Sabbath

Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars; all bear my seal

Oh yeah!

Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'til the end of time

Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel

Oh yeah!

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you'll see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Oh yeah!

Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me 'til the end of time

Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel

Oh yeah!

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Evil Woman

Black Sabbath

I seen a look of evil in your eyes
You've been filling me all full of lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deeds
Do well best, someone else has better seen

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me

Now I know just what you're looking for
You want me to claim that child you bore
Well you know that it must he not be
And you know the way it got to be

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me

Wickedness lies in your moisten lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Blackness sleeps on top of your stray bed
Do you wish that you could see me dead

Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me

Sleeping Village

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath

Red sun rising in the sky
Sleeping village, cockerels cry
Soft breeze blowing in the trees
peace of mind, feel at ease

Warning

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath

Now the first day that I met ya
I was looking in the sky
When the sun turned all a blur
And the thunderclouds rolled by
The sea began to shiver
And the wind began to moan
It must've been a sign for me
To leave you well alone
I was born without you baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong

You never said you love me
And I don't believe you can
'cause I saw you in a dream
And you were with another man
You looked so cool and casual
And I tried to look the same
But now i've got to know ya
Tell me who am I to blame?
I was born without you baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong

Now the whole wide world is movin'
'cause there's iron in my heart
I just can't keep from cryin'
'cause you say we've got to part
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
And watch you slowly take away
A love i've never known
I was born without you baby
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Just a lit bit to strong

Wicked World

Black Sabbath

The world today is such a wicked place
Fighting going on between the human race
People give good wishes to all their friends
While people just across the sea are counting the dead

A politician's job they say is very high
For he has to choose who's got to go and die
They can put a man on the moon quite easy
while people here on earth are dying of old diseases

A woman goes to work every day after day
She just goes to work just to earn her pay
Child sitting crying by a life that's harder
he doesn't even know who is his father

LETRAS DO ÁLBUM A Night at the Opera

Precious Jerusalem

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

No doubt doubt
No longer need to hide it
I've found out who I am
I' moved around in circles
I rise and fall again
I know it well
Every word I tell
Seems to make no sense at all

Words will heal it
Love will conquer
The hearts of the hopeless
The almighty is still alive

Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Risin' up from Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heat of the desert
Building up old Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Risin' up from Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heat of the desert
Building up old Jerusalem

I've gone beyond
But there's no life
And there is nothing how it seems
I've gone beyond
But there's no life
There is no healing rain in Eden
The empty barren wasted paradise

Let's celebrate the dawning of the son

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can change fate

Son of man
You truly are mine

Can't stand the pain
No more grief and misery
It goes on and on and on and on
and on and on and on

Father stop it now
We must stop it now

You really think you are half way up
I would not mind if you were right
It's not sure
I'd rather say you are half way down
So I am going to help you
If I can

I've been caught
In wilderness
In wilderness
I've got out well
I found myself
In desert lands
In desert lands
But you've been on my mind

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can change truth

Rise up and follow me
'Cause I will bring the light
Rise up and follow me
Wake up and clear your mind
I try to bring it back
The seed of life
I try to bring it back
The seal of light

So if you say
There's no faith in man
You better keep in mind
That I can read between the lines
My heavy burden brings
Eyesight to the blind

I've been caught
In wilderness
In wilderness
I've got out well
I found myself
In desert lands
In desert lands
But you've been on my mind

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can change me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Battlefield

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

It cannot be seen but there's blood on the green
Only God knows I'm innocent
Take me, take me home
A dark seed reigns in me like the Storm rules over the sea
I challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone

Don't dare me now
The threatening shadows will pass by

They're getting closer now
Open your eyes
Wake up my dear young friend
And hate shall fade away

I will not move, yet
I'll stand still instead

There on the battlefield he stands
Down on the battlefield he's lost
And on the battlefield it ends

War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore

The field's been left in sorrow
The father and the son they're gone
The Sun shines bright and anger rises
Lorn and lonely torn apart
Don't you think it's time to stop now
We were charmed and fooled by the old serpent's kiss

Let's pray that heaven is on our side
Through violence and horror shall honour arise
So let's pray and blessed shall be our leader
We follow the noble and bright

Don't you hear me crying, crying
Come take me away
I hallow thy name

There on the battlefield he stands
Down on the battlefield he's lost
And on the battlefield it ends

War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore

That's what the minstrel sing
Join in the horrible screams
Take part in murderous deeds
Renowned be the lion-hearted

Join in the minstrelsy
Wailing in endless grief
It eagerly longs for more
Broken bodies lay down on the ground

Blood sheds all over the place
The green will be stained forever
And hate reigns all over the field
They keep struggling on in anger

Fiercely intense outrageous, too blind to see
And in pain they keep on singing
We claim the land for the highlord
God bless the land and our highlord

War and anger shall reign
The clash of iron can be heard
By blindness you're driven insane
I'm lost in anguish and grief
Sorrow won't wane 'til you die
A shattered body deeply hurt
And darkness will cover the light
It's gone forevermore

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under The Ice

Blind Guardian

run 'til you find the answer
time out for our poor cassandra
she's fairly safe inside the fire

inside the fire
awake desire
cruelly admired

they'll torture her soul
and they'll torment her heart
but won't change her mind

would you like to see me
how I'll cut off
her head life's a game
a lesson to learn
don't be shy just blame me
well there is no
need to feel ashamed
remeber the oath
remeber the oath

wake up it's time to cross the border
is it true what they say
about the part you've played?

enjoy your stay here
welcome to the slaughterhouse
release from rotten thoughts
no more pain
and no more gods

under the ice you will believe
under the ice you will be free
released from rotten thoughts
no more pain
no more gods

please understand
it's not in our hands
barren the land
it's all dead and gone

and still the tyrant's face is red
so witness my glory, my triumph,
my fame
it's the sweetest taste

king of terror
just stop wining
hold your breath
it won't take long
realize
this is your judgement day

in between the killing carry on

there are no rules here
welcome to the slaughterhouse
released from rotten thoughts
no more pain
and no more gods

under the ice you will believe
under the ice you will be free
released from rotten thoughts
no more pain
no more gods

try to understand

you're the artificial enemy
an illusion we all need
for our sake
for our sake

we're not allowed to see
beyond thet's your skill
will we ever learn the lesson
"we can't fly with broken wings"
break the chains
time to change

I'm afraid to say
but you win't play a part
it's been nice we now get to the climax
your destination's unknown
just get out of my way

don't mind the blood here
welcome to the slaughterhouse
released from rotten thoughts
no more pain
and no more gods

under the ice you will believe
under the ice you will be free
released from rotten thoughts
no more pain
no more gods
under the ice you will be free
released from rotten thoughts
no more pain
no more gods
no more gods
I'm afraid to say but you won't
play a part

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly Sings Destiny

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

a wooden cup
and a crown of thorns
will set up the stage
for the cross
i rent a room next door
there is nothing more
no further voices hear
I'll be free
it doesn't matter anymore
that somesone's knocking at my door
I've known it long before
the galilean's on the floor
shame on me
shame on meI'm a tool and nothing more

I can feel it's getting nearer
images they'll turn out clearer
creeps in and out of you mind
I'm destiny personified
I know there's something more behind
but is it really justified
to sacrifice
to crucify
the rescue of the human kind

sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"

i hear them howling hear them scream
the raging mob turns mad it seemd
"the king's in town
we need a crown"
i think we all know
how it ends

"so we're not going take it longer"
so all I know is I don't care
"so we're not going take it longer"
now we are aware

I can feel it's getting nearer
images they'll turn out clearer
creeps in and out of you mind
I'm destiny personified
I know there's something more behind
but is it really justified
to sacrifice
to crucify
the rescue of the human kind

sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"

there I tie the ass
there I tie the colt
begging for a last chance
I hear the voices say
"we get hin home tonight
and that's all you need to know"
I'm alone

so I can't stand it any longer
and I don't want to see it all
nazarene your vision will come true
will come true
they'll get you

I can feel it's getting nearer
images they'll turn out clearer
creeps in and out of you mind
I'm destiny personified
I know there's something more behind
but is it really justified
to sacrifice
to crucify
the rescue of the human kind

sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"
sadly sings destiny
sadly sings destiny
"for ages I've been waiting
now spring is in the air
let it in"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Maiden And The Minstrel Knight

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

The faithful crowd
Is gathered here
Soon they'll appear
The high and mighty show up
The king is in doubts
"apart from this beggar here
There's no one like you my dear
Tasting my lips
No one but you and him"
Round the fire everyone should sing
And praise the gracious queen
Round the fire everyone should dance
And we praise the handsome knight
Forever and ever we both will be one
The maiden, the fair and the young
Fell in love

Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand

There's a moment in life
When all the years wil pass by
And the eyes filled with tears
We once shed
We recognize failures
The desperate cries
Of the ones who believed in our lies

Wherever I go you'll be with me
My first thought and my last
Though we'll depart in bitterness
One day you'll understand
Carry on
Beloved maiden, mine
Carry on
Or we have to pay the price

Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand

Yesterday's memories
And melodies
Are gone with the wind
So sad
Snow-white her hands and golden her hair
But she's not the one
Out in the emptyness
Where everything's pale
There is no sign of you
I'm alone
How I wish you would be here
I'm alone
Telling me it's alright
Come and rest your head
Come and rest your head
Come and rest your head
Come and rest your head
I'm alone and sadness reings in my heart
As long as we live it won't go away
We are one but torn apart

Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand
Will you still wait for me
Will you still cry for me
Come and take my hand

Proudly it stands
Until the worlds end
The victorious banner of love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait For An Answer

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

I cannot say that I don't care
cause I'm aware
of everyone and everything
they're everywhere

don't be a fool
stop spinning around
spinning around
you're right it ain't safe here
start using your brain
my brain

the cautious hare
cannot be seen as a coward
he's simply aware
he constantly knows what's going on
that the whell of life turns on
it won't hold on

silent creature
filthy teachers
spreading the disease
a release
a vanished kingdom falls
it goes on and on
and again
it goes on
round and round
oh I can't get it out of my head

wish I'd be a bird of prey
a pure and blessed
a hawk who could ease the pain

don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
a place in the dark
a song without hope
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
oh I wait for an answer
so far
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
I will wait for an answer
so far
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
I will wait yes I will wait
don't look back

we're the descendants
in the line of valiant soldiers
we're mistreated angels
we are the blackbird nation
we're the chosen ones
we're the last descendants
we're a tribe of unsung glory
we are the fallen angels

well the time is right
you shall be on my side

I don't I don't I don't need anyone
be with or against me
I'm white I am chosen

there is not the slightest doubt at all
not at all

in lower airs
we're ground down
by their ignorance

hate will grow like a foul cancer
to find a foe seems to be the answer

round and round it goes and again
oh I can't get it out of my head

wish I'd be a bird of prey
a pure and blessed
a hawk who could ease the pain

don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
a place in the dark
a song without hope
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
oh I wait for an answer
so far
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
I will wait for an answer
so far
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
I will wait yes I will wait
don't look back

don't be a fool
stop spinning around
spinning around
don't move it ain't safe here
they've stained holy grounds
oh no

the hopeful he sadly admits
there's no hero
no place to hide
there is no shelter from the storm
the maddened crow will spread terror
but i know
bitterly they will stumble
find themselves smashed
on the ground

don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
a place in the dark
a song without hope
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
oh I wait for an answer
so far
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
I will wait for an answer
so far
don't look back tell me
is it where you belong
I will wait yes I will wait
don't look back

it's you who has said
there's no tomorrow
I don't know
but who I am
i wouldn't sit back any longer
it's surely built in sadness
but the sadness surely will go by
so we will all know the answer
the answer's within
it's in your mind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Soulforged

Blind Guardian

I'm not insane
that's how it seems though
spiteful, cruel but wise
beyond his age
my body fails
my soul will rise

the end of life's immortalized
disease and agony
and I see death through golden eyes
beyond the door
there's something more
it seems there's just one way

on through the heat
I've felt the touch of evil
I still feel the icy claw in me

for a descent price
I've banned kindness from my heart
the spirit of all truth and beauty
pawned for my desire

and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

and through the hour glass
everything's grey
everyone's pale
no colour nor beauty will enlighten my heart
the seat of life's empty and cold
cadaverous you all seem to me
stillborn but you're still alive
you're still alive

truth lies in loneliness
when hope is long gone by
I'll wipe out the bliss of the new age
and welcome you precoius night

and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged, the stainless will rise

from a distant time
voices echo in the hall
"come and join us
enter life and "
everything is gone now

and through the looking glass
I still fear mortality and
its loss in the end
unlimited power in my hands
the claw of the dragon ascends
"mourn for his lost soul
he's cursed and condemned"

each step I take
may it hurt may it ache
leads me further
away from the past
but as long as i breathe
each smile on my bleak face
I'm on my way to find
back to the peace of mind

and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged will come into light
and from the flames
as chance would have it
the soulforged, the stainless will rise

I will never change my mind
I will leave it all behind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Age Of False Innocence

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

Cut off the light, take a look
There's nothing beyond but pain
Suffer in the deepest void
The flame of hope is gone
What have I done?
Denied the father and the son
For a moment it seemed
There's space beyond the spheres

Aflame the night
So clear and bright
Unstable light
(You've been sacrificed in fear)
Now there's one thing for sure
I'm not afraid anymore

Day after day we've been fixed in this bowl for so long
For ages we're captured in shells and crystallized walls

Predestined or punished? By Man or God?

I cannot, I will not
Deny It's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take it away from me)

(And) for a while astronomy has moved the Earth
And we've turned around the Sun
(Sanctum Officium)
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
Has made me believe

"We know for sure you're lying
Would you like to mess with holy science
You know the fear of dying
Would it be worth it to hear you crying"
I've slaughtered truth and I've shattered my heart

Far too long I have played with hellfire
And science has turned into madness
But I should have taken it higher
So I feel, so I feel
Like Judas must have felt before
That Wednesday night near by the tree

I cannot, I will not
Deny It's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take It away from me)

Day after day we will gratefully suffer for more
Predestined's our part so we bleed in the name of God

Don't believe in their eternity
We're still held in blindness
And I've been turned into a liar
If there is no heaven there won't be release

I cannot, I will not
Deny It's false innocence
(I cannot) I will not
The age of false innocence
(I cannot) I will not
Deny It's false innocence
(I cannot) I will not
The age of false innocence
(Take It away from me)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Punishment Divine

Blind Guardian

Punishment Devine - Blind Guardian

It’s warm and tender
But very soon it will turn cold
Shadows stare down from the walls
Out of the mist it’s coming closer now
It never rains, it pours on me
So let the saints
Set up the courtyard, the unpleasant cage
The obvious point is I’m insane
Was I aware whom I had slain
I fear I was:
The faceless, the nameless
The bush set on fire
No one aever dared to speak
“Shame on me, I don’t believe
The here and now is all we’re living for”

chorus:
Joyful it seems but, then suddenly
By one false move it’s blown away
Joyful it seems but, then suddenly
Their voices cease, it’s gone away
Vanished to the point of no return
Vanished to the point of no return

Witness my last breath
I do not regret
A word I’ve said
The strong will survive
The weak must die
And out of the mist it’s coming closer now
Sinner and saints, the grateful slaves
Nature’s law instead of God in heaven

From far beyond
I can hear them sing
I hear angels sing
Songs of innocence
I hear the angels sing
Despite the facts are clear
It cannot be what we can’t see
I must admit it sounds so sweet

chorus
SOLO

Angels sing, I hear angels sing (7x)
Can hear them sing
Far beyond I hear them sing
“It’s true, it’s true, we don’t exist”
Far beyond I hear them sing
“It’s true, it’s true, we don’t exist”

Well, we all know
There’s no other side
It’s good and evil
I know right between
There’s no borderline
This is the punishment divine

Surrounded by night
I’ve been offered insight
There is none but
The sin of pride
Am I wrong, am I right
Am I losing my sight
Abandoning the superior mind

chorus

Right away I will be gone
Gone, I will be gone

Through the valleys grey
Through the shapeless land
I walk alone
I’m left alone
Through the deepest void
A blackened paradise
I walk alone
I’m left alone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Then There Was Silence

Blind Guardian

A Night at the Opera

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

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
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

Repeat 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
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

Repeat 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
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

Compositor: Hansi Kürsch

lETRAS DO ÁLBUM Imaginations From The Other Side

Imaginations From The Other Side

Blind Guardian

Where are these silent faces
(I took them all)
They all went away
(Now you're alone)

To turn out every light so deep in me
Hold on, too late

Will I ever see them back again
Or did they all die by my hand

Or were they killed
By the old evil ghost
Who had taken
taken

The ocean
Of all my dreams
Which were worth to keep
Deep inside my heart

I wish I
Could get them back
From the everflow
Before they'll fade away

Imaginations from the other side
(Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind)
Imaginations from the other side
(Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind)

Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart

Imaginations from the other side

Where's the ocean's daughter?
Was Peter Pan in Mordor?
No one's there to keep alive
No one's there to keep alive

No one's there to keep alive
All these fairy tales
May I return to Oz?
Will I meet the "Tin Man"?

"Coward Lion" where are you?
Without brain the scarecrow's lost
In the middle of the lake

(Stranded in the real world)
Left in the world
No place for daydreams
Serious life

I fall into
I fall into a dark hole
And I can't come out
Do you know if Merlin did exist
Or Frodo wore the ring
Did Corum kill the gods
Or where's the wonderland
Which young Alice had seen
Or was it just a dream
I knew the answers
Now they're lost for me

Imaginations from the other side
(Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind)
Imaginations from the other side
(Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind)

Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart

Imaginations from the other side

I hope there is a way back
With my talisman
So I look into myself
Into the days when I was just a child

Come follow me to wonderland
And see the tale that never ends
Don't fear the lion nor the witch
I can't come back
I'm lost but still I know
There is another world

Imaginations from the other side
(Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind)
Imaginations from the other side
(Far out of nowhere
It got back to my mind)

Out of the dark
Back to the light
Then I'll break down
The walls around my heart

Imaginations from the other side

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm Alive

Blind Guardian

Imaginations From the Other Side

I run through the dark fields
of the plains
reach level 99
the pain cuts deep down
through my vain
how will I break the ice
welcome to my reality
dream forever
sunlight instead of neon light
how will it be
welcome to my grave
and feel the dream is over
nothing can stop me
I reach out for the top

caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone

I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark

they say the system keeps
the last chance to survive
caught in this labyrinth
of walls and lots of lies
the began to understand
there's more above than ice
to reach the top
I crept deep down
the answers given in the past
a senseless worth
in useless brains
magic runes
without a meaning
besides the dark
there should be nothing left

caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone

I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark

SOLO

outside they say death is waiting
but it creeps down through the shaft
finds pleasure in our helpless fear
fills empty rooms
with morbid thought
they've locked the door
and hold the key
sitting beside you
when silent screams
changing my mind and dreams
oh, It's never ending

caught in an old cage
the system failed
built up on lies
now I see that I'm alone
in asylum's cage
I'm left alone

I'm alive my friend
I can feel the shadows everywhere
I'm alive
I left the shadows
far behind me
another one is waiting in the dark
I'M ALIVE!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Past And Future Secret

Blind Guardian

Oh, I haven't been here for a while
in blindness and decay
the circle's been closed, now

My song of the end
I've seen it all

Listen crowd
I'll tell you everything
though I have to say
I don't know much
talking about a past
and future secret
most called him once
and future king
far back in the past
I saw his ending
long before it started
I knew his name
he's the one who took the sword
out of the stone
it's how that ancient tale began
I hear it in the cold winds

My song of the end
I had seen it in my dreams
my song of the end
I can't stop the darkening clouds

I feel cold
when I cry out for the dark
take him back to Avalon
dwell on for a new age
so long sleep well my friend
take him back to Avalon
I will wait and guard
the future king's crown

My song of the end
it was nice but now it's gone
my song of the end
it was fixed the whole time
my song of the end
I saw it all

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Script For My Requiem

Blind Guardian

Hallowed be the fatherland
God he knows
How long I'd been away
From here I did start for the search so
Full of disease
I still hear my cryouts
From the old cellar's inside

Born in the days of medieval
My inner voice
Is always asking why

I came from nowhere
Without a task, without a name
No fear of evil
Fate, so god please lead me through
Forgotten realms
Mysterious dreams
In sunless rooms I'd sworn
I'll finish what I started, once
I'll find my holy grail
In the holy land

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears
They are inside me
Agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written?
Jester's tears I cry
Yes, I cry

I went out of my mind
In desert lands
Insanity's pawn
Out of control
Much to long I've been isolated
From my thoughts
Enclosed by the leader's spell
Bewildered to march
As a glory knight
And I tried

Still I hear the scream of thousands:
"Crucify, crucify!!!
Take it all
Our gold, our homes, our life,
But we didn't kill your Christ!!
Reach out for your holy grail
Enslave us and make us
Your god's sacrifice!!

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears
They are inside me
Agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written?
Jester's tears I cry
Yes, I cry

Still I'm confused
If I was dreaming
Too late I realized
I'd been another fool
I pay the price

Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
The jester's tears
They are inside me
Agony's the script for my requiem
Returning of the miracles
It's my own requiem
Is the script already written
Jester's tears I cry

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mordred's Song

Blind Guardian

I've lost my battle before it starts
my first breath wasn't done
my spirit's sunken deep
into the ground
why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
silence's all around

See hate will rise
so don't come closer
fear your child
born with a king's heart
but fate fooled me
and changed my cards
noone asked if I want it
if I like it

Ref.:
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
a figure in an old game
no Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn

Nothing else,
but laughter is around me
forever more
no one can heal me
nothing can save me
no one can heal me
I've gone beyond the truth
it's just another lie
wash away the blood on my hands
my father's blood
in agony we're unified

I never wanted to be
what they told me to be
fulfill my fate then I'll be free
god knows how long
I tried to change fate

Ref.

I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Born In A Mourning Hall

Blind Guardian

In fact it was close to a real fallout
Everything's under control
The speaker said with a serious smile
Behind his mask
He knew the truth
I'll bring new age of better ways
The TV preacher said
Just pay today
Pay today

World's dressed in black
On earth's judgments day
And I?
I know it can't go on
Forbidden signs increase
I'm sitting still at home
And watching

Born in a morning hall
Pale clouds of feared the unborn child
Then it grew up with growing plans
Of suicide
Born in a morning hall
Shadows left the fear inside
The Peter Pan will never reach
The other side

It's frightening
Exciting to sit at home
And watch the burning fields get
Hypnotized by the TV snake
Obey and work hard
And feel no anger

Just sympathy for the higher class
There's no chance in changing
Things
Cause I am

Born in a morning hall
Silent cries ran out
When the cradle breaks
Broken dreams were unheard on
The other side
Born in a morning hall
Shadows left the fear
In the new born child
The Peter Pan will never reach
The other side

[SOLO]

And I'm a part of a machine
A puppet on the strings
A rebel, once
Now I'm an old man

Oh, I know it can't go on
But the ghost called fear inside
Lames my tongue, my nerves,
My mind
Eternal fall down
Someone cut the strings off
I can't move
To get back courage
I've to face the truth
But not today
Goodbye

Born in a morning hall
Caught inside a web called life
The only way to get out soon
I suicide
Born in a morning hall
Pale souls built a frozen world
Infected brains
Will never reach the other side
The other side

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bright Eyes

Blind Guardian

Fool! Just another
Fool! Just another

I've been waiting
For signs of god

Create - enslaved - behaved
Everything is out of control

Leave me alone
Isolation bears hope
There's something else waiting
A promised destiny
Freezing me
I feel restless and low
These days full of sadness
Had joyfully changed
Into fear

My freakshow will start tonight
Don't miss the right time

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Everything is out of control
Everything is out of control
In my future plans
Everything is out of control
Noone's left to hurt
Everything is out of control
Sorrow's gone away

Broken memories
Walking upstairs step by step
I see the whole world burning
The poet dies in Neverland
How it burns

Hey, mother stubborn
I really hate you
If you say yes I will say no
Ashes to ashes
But dust won't be dust
If you go there
I will go back

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
Betrayed by sunrise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin is by my side

Hey, father stubborn
You're ying
And I'm yang
I feel alone
Who really cares
Born into ashes
To lose all the games
With a smiling face

Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
And dark dragons rise
Bright eyes
Blinded by fear of life
No Merlin's by my side

So I sit in my room, today
Winter's here
In summer's season
Shall I say
I was wrong
If I'm right
Farewell to my last hope

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Holy War

Blind Guardian

Imaginations From the Other Side

I am god
the only one
I will bring back
freedom to your heart
you won't believe
that blind can see
noone else before me ever knew
the way to paradise
for another bloody crime
I shall return

I am your light on through the night

Ref.:
Why am I born
will I fail to rise again
another crucifixion for
another holy war
(repeat 2x)
can't stop what's going on


Sooner or later you must understand
my words bring freedom
and rescue for man
what else,
to call me your Messiah
oh, I wish there could be another way
cross and nails are already prepared
my sell out
waits till I'm crucified
I will die before my vision ends

Ref.

Wait for the dawn
to take me away
what will be if I fail
another golden calve
never, never ending
pain and agony
hit me, nail me make me god

Ref.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And The Story Ends

Blind Guardian

Imaginations From the Other Side

And the story ends
Insanity said coldly
Still waiting for the chance
So out of nowhere it will rise
Oh, and another journey starts
By the call of the moon
Was it really me
I saw in the mirror screaming
I swallowed hate and lies
Through a thousand cries
Someone's sucking out my energy

What can I do
On this road to nowhere

Heart of dragon lies
At the edge of time

And the story ends
Insanity said coldly
Still waiting for the chance
So out of nowhere it will rise
Oh, and another journey starts
Into insanty's claws

Come with me and join me
A new life's waiting for you
Jump through the mirror
Leave fear behind
No matter where I tried
The candle light seemed
Lost forever
Before my vision fades
-cathedral
-falling tears

We're not alone
There's someone else, too
From the mirror's other side
Reflecting the cruel part of your soul
It's time for your choise

What can I do
On this road to nowhere

Heart of dragon lies
At the edge of time

And the story ends
Insanity said coldly
Still waiting for the chance
So out of nowhere it will rise
Oh, and another journey starts
By the call of the moon

Heart of dragon lies

What can I do
On this road to nowhere

Heart of dragon lies
At the edge of time

And the story ends
Insanity said coldly
Still waiting for the chance
So out of nowhere it will rise
Oh, and another journey starts
Into santy's claws

I'm not a king
I'm just a bard
How can I trust
If there is good and bad
The wounds of life
They will remain
At least I found a friend
