Symphony X - Paradise Lost

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 pray
Under starless skies
All love must die and fade away

Take my hand, divine or damned
Make a stand, seize the day
Oh, yours or mine, damned of 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 is silenced by angelic skin of white
Love conquers all though heaven's fall
This fateful night

Oh, yours or mine, damned of divine
Draw the line, serpentine

Love is a tragedy
All that I have, 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

Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye
To paradise
Say goodbye, goodbye, horror.

So I've cheated and I've lied
Been the victim of foolish pride
And I've begged and I've crawled
And I've battled it and bled for it all
Now I'll savor 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
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all will say their last goodbye
To paradise

Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all will say their last goodbye
To paradise
