X Symphony - The Divine Wings Of Dragedy Lyrics

PART I~ At the Four Corners Of The Earth



On the edge of paradise

Tears of woe fall, cold as ice

Hear my cry

Renounce, have you, thy name

Eternal is my pain



Eternal is the pain that leads me

to the thrones of temptation

Eternal is the pain that leads me

to the thrones of temptation ...



Part II ~ In The Room Of Thrones



- Instrumental -



PART III ~ A Gathering Of Angels



There was a time ...

When nine choirs sang the

endless melody of light

Music of the spheres

There was a place ...

Where mortals embraced thunder

and majesty

Their fate lay in our hands

Feel my wings slowly fading -

forever lost in time - I cry



PART IV ~ The Wrath Divine



The burning conflict I'm feeling

It summons me to descend into

the other side

And just beyond the stars blazing

A beam light from a red, velvet

moon illuminates me



I will devise, from perfect skies

A dark and vengeful day

Faith and mercy gone astray



With strength of infinite measure

The mighty sword divides order

from chaos in the kingdom below

And from the mansions of glory,

This empty soul cries out one

final plea ...

The end has begun



Our worlds collide, now in

disguise,

You'll feel the Wrath Divine

Tears of woe fall from the sky ...



PART V ~ The Prophet's Cry



The prophet cries

Vast battalions rage on in the sky

Rising from the north

- the bringer of war

Eve of destruction

Summon all who have 'power

over fire'

Impending doom from shore to

shore



Standing on the edge of paradise

I sacrifice my truth and loyalty

Seven deadly sins consume you

all, a dance with death

I taste the victory



(Eternal is the pain that leads me to temptation)



Rising from the north

- the warrior prince

Judgement without compassion

eyes of fear

Like the river Styx,

the gates of hell -

"Abandon hope all ye who enter here"



The prophets cry

As armies fall from the edge of

the sky

The Prince of truth, now the

bringer of war



The day of wrath

Banish all kings from the face of the land

Dominion for strength is my

name



PART VI ~ Bringer Of The Apocalypse



- Instrumental -



Eve of Sacrifice/Armies in the Sky/Dies trae



PART VII ~ Paradise Regained



Looking out on a blue sky

I can see a new world arising

Like a prisoner unbound

I feel the power and the majesty

again



Looking up to the heavens

I can see what I left behind

Beneath the stars, moon and

warm sun

And all I know,

is my paradise has begun ...
