Symphony X [NJ, US] - The Divine Wings of Tragedy

Part I - At the Four Corners of the Earth] [Lyrics: Romeo, Pinnela] 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] [Lyrics: Michael Romeo] There was a time ... When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light Music of the spheres Threre 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] [Lyrics: Michael Romeo, Thomas Miller] 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] [Lyrics: Michael Romeo] The prophet cries Vast battalions rage on in the sky Rising rom 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] [Lyrics: Russel Allen, Michael Pinnella] 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 ...
