Blind Guardian

And Then There Was Silence
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 the 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 hall's 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 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
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
Death's a certain thing
And the other world
The other world 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 other world
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade

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
Break the spell show me the way
In decay the flame of Troy will shine bright

The newborn child will carry ruin to the hall
The newborn's death would be a blessing to us all
Good choice? Bad choice?
Out of three you've chosen misery

Power and wisdom you deny
Bad choice, bad choice
War is the only answer
When Love will conquer fear

So the judgement's been made
To the fairest the graceful says
Badly he fails

Warning!
Fear the heat of passion, father king
Don't let her in
Desire, lust, obsession
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 will bring in a murderous price

In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat Jealousy
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 out 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 a man

Roar!
Troy and as the lion slaughters man
I am the wolf and you're the lamb
Hallowed Troy will fall round the walls
Faith is shattered bodies fall

Nowhere to run, owhere to hide
Nothing to lose like one we'll stand
It's all for one and one for all
We live for will be wiped out

I feel that something's wrong
Surprise they're gone
Full moon your time goes by
And new moon's still kept out of sight we live

Roam in darkness - spread the vision
Roam in darkness
We will be lost if you truly believe
Roam in darkness - 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 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

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

Harvest Of Sorrow
She is gone leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin

At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be night
Pain remains inside

Suddenly it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes and she called out my name
She was never ever never ever seen again

Harvest of sorrow your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of light shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin

She is gone and I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn and so I am
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day

At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness I stand alone
