And Then There Was Silence Lyrics - A Night At The Opera - Blind Guardian

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 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 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 thyne 

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 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 

Sister mine 

Death's a certain thing 

Find myself in darkest places 

Find myself drifting away 

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 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 there 

You've chosen misery 

Power and wisdom 

You deny 

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 him in 

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 

I can clearly see the end now 

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 our 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 roar roar roar 

Troy Troy Troy 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 

Nowhere 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, surprise they're gone 

Full moon your time goes by 

And new moon's still kept our of sight 

We live we die 

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 

Roam in darkness 

Spread the vision 

We will be lost if you truly believe 

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, lie, 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 

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 

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 

Heading home 

Still the wind blows 

Calm and silent 

Carries news from a distant shore 

Out of mind 

Can't get it 

Can't get it 

Out of me head 

Sorrow and defeat
