After The Fall Lyrics - Beethoven's Last Night - Trans Siberian Orchestra

(THERESA) 

Time 

Only time 

Could never take me away from you 

And why 

Should it try 

Time never cares just what we do 

It just sits on a star 

And gazes down 

Dropping it's moments all around 

And if I could wish upon that star 

I would find what you dream 

And then ask God to grant it

I wanted 

To say this 

Long before this dark would fall 

At night I 

Would pray this 

Then wonder if god heard at all 

For the chances I've had are now long gone 

And that star is no longer wished upon 

For in this night it seems too far away 

Try 

I have tried 

To pretend that I don't care 

But then 

Sleep arrives 

And in every dream I find you there 

Photos 

But I don't want the past to be my life 

And I don't want to live inside the night 

But I don't want to see your shadow fade 

So I sleep and I dream 

Though I don't understand it 

I wanted 

To say this 

Long before this dark would fall 

At night I 

Would pray this 

Then wonder if god heard at all 

for that star is no longer wished upon 

For in this night it seems too far away 

You can live your life in a thousand ways 

But it all comes down to that single day 

When you realize what you regret 

What you can't reclaim but you can't forget 

If I could just fall back into my life 

And find you there inside this night 

And let eternity just drift away 

(Beethoven realizes that Theresa never would have cared about his deafness and is crushed as he realizes what might have been. To ease the pain of his regret, Fate then shows him glimpses of the future and the countless musicians who will be inspired by, and build upon the legacy of his music. She then allows him a final vision; a vision in which he improvises with musicians from the past by whom he was inspired, as well as musicians from the future, who will be inspired by him.)
