Symphony X – The Divine Wings Of Tragedy lyrics

Music: Romeo-Pinnella-Miller
Choir arrangement: Romeo-Pinnella
(Part I) At the Four Corners of the Earth
Lyrics: Romeo-Pinnella
On the edge of paradise
Tears of woe fall, cold as ice
Hear my pain
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: Romeo
There was a time...
When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light
Music of the spheres
There 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: Romeo-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 strenght of infinite measure
The mighty sword divides order from choas 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: Romeo
The prophet cries
Vast battalions rage on in the sky
Rising from 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 strenght is my name
(Part vi) Bringer of the Apocalypse
Instrumental
Eve of Sacrifice / Armies in the Sky / Dies Irae
(Part vii) Paradise Regained
Lyrics: Allen-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...
