symphony x'in 2007 haziran ayında çıkardıkları albüme adını veren parçalarıdır. albümün alışılmışın dışında daha slow, duygu yüklü iki şarkısından biridir. bir diğeri için (bkz:
the sacrifice)
sözlerine geçelim.
in the cold misty morning
gleaming rays await their 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?
mistyfied by the beauty
does the hunter pity his pray
under starless skies
all love must die, and fade way
take my hand defy the damned
make a stand, seize the day
oh, 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 is silenced by angelic skin of white
love conquers all for heaven's fall
this faithful night
oh, yours or mine, damned or 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 wings 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, hold on!
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
so i savor the downfall
of paradise..
