Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence

Turn your head and see the fields of flame

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 nowherе

We have been betrayеd 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 men 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 might fall
As I've stumbled on the field
Sister mine
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
(Death's a certain thing)
And the otherworld, the otherworld appears
Find myself, she dies in vain
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
Break 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, 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 is 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

Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar

(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 wall
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
A new moon's still kept out of sight

(We live)
Misty tales and poems lost
(We die)
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
Break 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
Lie, 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're 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
Break the spell, show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright

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

Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
(Heading home)
(repeat 2x)

Out of mind
Can't get it
Can't get it out of my head
Sorrow and defeat
Sorrow and defeat
