Symphony of Silence
08:08
|
|||
|
Curtains fall
And red is the only colour
That remains
Of all the things we've built
They close the final act
When nothing remains intact
The play of the age
The stage in ruins
Once they all thought
Barren lands would be all
And now we wonder
When the rains will fall
---Chorus---
At last, when the story's finally over
You'll be rewarded with a moment
A moment of peace
And then, when the door is finally open
Then you will hear the many voices
Calling for you
------------
As the spectacle is born
We ask ourselves, will the show go on
Watching in awe
As the lights go out
Instead they great us with the dark
As we cheer, the sounds come not
And we realize
We played our part
Once they all thought
We deserved to be punished
But now we wonder,
Will the flowers flourish?
---Chorus---
You'll praise the symphony of silence
When everyone realizes
What is happening
To the concert hall
They finally break free from the spell
And see the ceiling fall
Desperation setting in
Illusions being shattered
No matter what do or say
Or how much they pray
Or how much they sigh
And how much they cry
There is no way out
There is no escape
Better make your peace
The few of us
Who knew it all from the start
Were just waiting in harmony
And now we wonder
When the rains will fall
The flowers flourish
Afterall
---Chorus---
The voices are calling for you (x6)
They are calling (x6)
Calling for you...

Sign of the Times
04:49
|
|||
|
Creatures of the night
They all gather at this site
To pray, to wish, to push the light
Into a hole forever
While on the other side
The Sun is shining bright
Over those who chose to stay
To make a stand against the darkness
What is the use of fighting all the time
When all we see is but a single line
That separates us from the monsters' side
When in reality we're all alike?
---Chorus---
Waiting in line for the sign of the times
With the end of the world on my shoulders
There are many ways to be, and if only they could see
That the answer to the question is unfolding
Before their eyes!
------------
This is where they dwell
All the monsters from hell
Right here, do you see your face
Among them as well?
And right over there
Is where they stand and stare
Looking for someone to blame
Whenever they breathe out their black air
Why can't we find a common ground
And paint the world in shades of gray?
Why do they always point the evil out
And never try to build a better day?
---Chorus---
---Chorus--- x2

No Return
04:19
|
|||
|
Time has come to contemplate the past
The many wars, the constant fighting
To read between the lines
Set fire to the beast
That threatens to arise
Or succumb to horror and be shot between the eyes
---Pre-chorus---
No matter what we do
We must prepare for the worst
There is no way out anymore
----------------
When we see the folly of our ways
The rotten maw, the gaping jaw,
It might be too late
What should we do when the
Chicken comes to roost
Should we just ignore it, the evidence produced
---Pre-chorus---
---Chorus---
The hands of fate will turn around and grab us by the throat
The consequences of our actions cannot be undone
The sky will come to meet the earth and become as one
When all of us are dead and gone
--------------
And as we cross the point of no return
We ask ourselves again
What is the reason for this treason?
Is this the end?
Time has come to contemplate the past
The many wars, the constant dying
To read between the lines
What should we do when the
Chicken comes to roost
Should we just ignore it, the evidence produced
---Pre-chorus---
---Chorus--- x2

Endless Fight
04:20
|
|||
|
Move against the odds that force you back
At every step of the way
And though defeat is certain
Know that you will always rise again
Though the end is always near
You keep the flame alive inside yourself
As the others fall and crash and burn
Their bodies piling up around your feet
Not you
Still you go
Go and fight
Die again
Keep pushing on
Through the pain
Be reborn
---Chorus---
The fighting will never be done!
------------
But what will you do
When you realize
You're no better than melting ice
In a lake of flame and fire?
What will you say when you see the day
When your power fades away
And you're left alone
To climb the mountain on your own?
Would you
Still go on
If you knew
You would die
And not come back
From the dead?
Even though
---Chorus---
The real test comes only when
Defeat surrounds you
And your victory
Is nowhere to be seen
Is a cause worth dying for
When your death won't mean a single thing
Are you brave?
Or are you just a fool?
Who knows
For what he stands
And who feels
In his heart
That he must die
With his sword
In his hand
---Chorus---
Never be done, never be done, never be done!

Devil's Bargain
05:48
|
|||
|
As I count my final days
I recall the promise that I made
So many years ago
When I was young, things looked so simple
And I came to realize
That the stars were right
So I gave you my word
And I settled for this devil's bargain
Just to walk through hell with you
But you used me, you abused me!
And now I find myself without a soul...
Without a soul!
When the shadow of the clock
Was nothing more than a dot
I took you on your word
By the time the lines grew long
All the reasons I had to be there
Had vanished in thin air
But I gave you my word
And I settled for this devil's bargain
Now I walk through hell with you
My hands are tied
My eyes are shut
Even as I speak, I hear your call
Now I try to find my way
To go back to how things used to be
But I know it is too late
Repenting is not enough
All the damage that I caused
I want away from you, deep down I know I do
Still I gave you my word
And I settled for this devil's bargain
Now I'm stuck in hell with you
On the other hand
I'm already here
I might as well just take my place
It looks like I am here to...
...stay...

Sewer Rats
04:42
|
|||
|
I've seen the devil's work all around the world
But there is nowhere worse than our very home!
These evildoers know how to make you cry
So let us show them how to keep the faith alive!
Evil comes in many forms
So take care and beware of the truth
Sunday morning comes again!
---Chorus---
Persecution, prosecution, inquisition, execute them all!
--------------
I've seen these people go about their evil ways
And all the things they bring, destruction and decay!
Don't be fooled, they're not like you and I
All they want is to set the world alight!
Evil comes in many forms
Everywhere they have been, the things I've seen
Sunday morning comes again!
---Chorus---
Hear the tolling of the bell
Gather 'round my children
Our lord calls upon you
For we are beset by evil from all sides
And he commands us to rid ourselves from the heretics and false prophets!
This apostate claims to have had visions of the future
She dared to profess death and destruction to those who follow our path
But we have seen the real truth
And we have decided she must burn!
Now!
Do you see the sewer rats surrounding me?
Sunday morning comes again!
---Chorus---
I now invite you all to watch the dying Sun
And to follow me in this holy hunt!
Let the people know how you are so brave
Grab the torches and march for heaven's sake!
Evil comes in many forms
So take care of the truth and beware
Sunday morning comes again!
---Chorus---

Your Disposal
04:22
|
|||
|
Oh boy, I see you playing with your toys
In the corner of the room,
Do you think you're doomed?
To a life of despair? Maybe you should be scared
For the monster under your bed
Won't be pulling just your leg!
I gave it all to you
By taking everything
The dreams you have will never match reality!
I laid the future down
And even made a crown
For you to wear when you're not really there!
---Chorus---
You alone are your disposal
You alone are your demise
Even though I lay the flames to your grave
------------
Tell me what do you really think you see
When I show you what remains
Of how things were yesterday?
Maybe I do not know how things come and go
But you most certainly
Won't remember one damn thing!
I gave them all to you
The reasons to believe
Instead you chose to break away from me!
---Chorus---
