Victims of misfortune and lies and tortured bringers of demise
Circling above like vultures
They reap harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools
Promising charade
All the days now disappear, from weeks to months, from months to years
Forever bound, shackled to the wall
The night falls
I've seen a thousand moons rising in the sky
The night calls
I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes
Touched by the kiss of the sunrise
Live with shadows and fears - behind Smoke and Mirrors
Try to turn back the years - living inside Smoke and Mirrors
Sacred and serpentine, a hypnotizing twisted theme
Weaves our souls to soar
Like candles in the wind, our echoed cries above the din
Fade into this faceless sculpture
In the wheel of chance and fate, spinning as we watch and wait
A mystery to us all
On the edge of sanity, we tread the seas of destiny
Forever bound, silent voices call
The night falls
I've seen a thousand moons rising in the sky
The night calls
I feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes
Touched by the kiss of the sunrise
Live with shadows and fears - behind Smoke and Mirrors
Try to turn back the years - living inside Smoke and Mirrors
Live with shadows and fears - behind Smoke and Mirrors
Try to turn back the years - living inside Smoke and Mirrors
Ohh...the night calls
Church of the Machine
Music and lyrics: Symphony X
Bow down in the Platinum maze
Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague
Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen
Merciless judgement in the Church of the Machine
I'm the Master
Looking down from the edge of Space and Time
Flesh and steel intertwined
I am the Future
Sacrifice your soul and succumb to me
Nailed to your faith - you'll believe
Scream - and no one hears my pleas
Faceless masses falling to their knees
Bow down in the Platinum maze
Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague
Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen
Merciless judgement in the Church of the Machine
Pyramids in the sky, playing out their cosmic games
Rulers of us all, forever cursed, we live in pain
Cursed - we live in pain...
The Creator
'Neath the darkened sun, my empires rise
Artificially devised
The Destroyer
Fierce intentions flow from a virtual rage
Forever lost and enslaved
Total mesh of soul and steel
Life-force under my command
Twisted baptism of fire
Between Machine and Man
Scream - and no one hears our pleas
Faceless masses falling to their knees
Bow down in the Platinum maze
Twilight cathedrals spread the system plague
Forging sacred thrones in the void unseen
Merciless judgement in the Church of the Machine
In
the Dragon's Den
Music: Romeo,
Miller, Pinnella
lyrics:
Symphony X
Placid
skies, through crystal gazing eyes
Slaves to
our desire, in a ring of smoke and fire
The dungeons
call, two faces on the wall
Candles light
in the way, for a moonlight serenade
Through the
night and days
We will find
a way
A way to carry
on what we believe
An empty door,
ashes on the floor
Hypnotic array
of light, dragons calling throughout the night
Omen in black,
chained down to the rack
The end never
in sight, soaring through and endless plight
Through the
night and days
We will find
a way
Silence
fills the shrine
Giving us
the sign
Forever lost,
forever in the Dragon's den
Born with second
sight
Essence burning
bright
Forever lost,
forever in the Dragon's den
Silence fills
the shrine
Giving us
the sign
Forever lost,
forever in the Dragon's den
Born with second
sight
Essence burning
bright
Forever lost,
forever in the Dragon's den
Music: Romeo, Pinnella, Miller
lyrics: Allen, Miller
Silver cross in ancient halls
Deep inside the castle walls
Bound to sleep, forever locked in chains
Evil carved into the stone
Ancient words they've never known
A serpent's silent shroud still remains
Come with me and I'll make all your wishes come true
Lifting the chains of oppression from you
Wiping away the lines carved in your face
Take the Relic from this place...
Carry on, into the horizon
Wielding courage, staff in hand
Journey on, through shadows and dreams
And what lies beyond the Guardian's Keep
Pray and siege in voiceless woe
Who's dust was scattered long ago
Awaken from this dark and endless sleep
Man's desire - now mortal wounds
Believing tales and shallow truths
Hardened hearts now tremble in the Keep
Trust in me and I'LL lay all your nightmares to waste
Take the Relic from this place...
Carry on, into the horizon
Wielding courage, staff in hand
Journey on, through shadows and dreams
And what lies beyond the Guardian's Keep
Hunter
music\lyrics - Schaffer
A force of light an angel
Sent through time to destroy
Avenging the dark ones
Descending angelic force
Heaven sent the hunter
Her mission to crucify
Slay the hellborn
His offspring demonic force
Chorus
Descending from heaven
The angel sworn to bring him down
The hunter the thunder
The wrath of heavens comin' down
She swore an oath, an allegiance
Armageddon is in sight
To be the thorn in the devils back
To make him weak, the final fight
Repeat Chorus
music: Romeo, Pinnella
lyrics: Miller, Allen
Garden of ice
Ivory trees dimly glow
Maiden in white
Led by lanterns of stone
Captured - by the light of moon
Diamonds and jade - dressed in ashen blue
From the north, a mistress dressed in silvery blaze
The feel of her kiss steals my breath away
In the night, shadows dance through lucid doors
With a pale and frigid gaze
Lady of the snow, calling me
Her silhouette awaits in the cold
A kiss of stone, tempting me
A winter's stare through veils that still my sight
In the night…she calls
Bound by this passion, I'm begging you please let me go
There is no escaping the feeling, I can't fight anymore
My desire echoes from a tale of ancient lore
As before, mystery fills my eyes
Beauty and bliss, I feel the hands that hold me now
I surrender myself to the night
Lady of the snow, calling me
Her silhouette awaits in the cold
A kiss of stone, tempting me
A winter's stare through veils that still my sight
In the night…she calls
Lady of the snow, holding me
Her silhouette awaits in the cold
I can't fight anymore
