Paradise Lost
Symphony X
In the cold misty morning
Gleaming rays awake the dawn
Here I stand, a stranger in this land
Does your conscience betray you?
Falling from grace, feel the sun on my face
Does desire still hold true?
Mystified by her beauty, does the hunter pity his prey?
Under starless skies all love must die
And fade away
Take my hand, divine or damned, make a stand
Seize the day
Yours or mine, damned or divine
Draw the line, come what may
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye, to paradise
My yearning been silenced
By angelic skin of white
Love conquers all, though heavens fall
This fateful night
Yours or mine, damned or divine
Draw the line, serpentine
Love is a tragedy
All that I have, and all that I'll ever need
Is right here inside
Let the winds of freedom be my guide
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye to paradise
(Say goodbye, goodbye)
So I've cheated and I've lied
Been the victim of a foolish pride
And I've begged and I've crawled
And I've battled and bled for it all
So I'll save up the downfall of paradise
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all will say their last goodbye, to paradise
Looking down from ethereal skies (looking down from ethereal skies)
Silent crystalline tears I cry (oh, I cry)
For all will say their last goodbye to paradise (all will say their last goodbye)
Looking down from ethereal skies (looking down)
Silent crystalline tears I cry (crystalline tears I cry)
For all will say their last goodbye to paradise
