The Divine Wings of Tragedy - Symphony X

On the edge of paradise

Tears of woe fall, cold as ice

Hear my cry

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

Eternal is my pain that leads me to the thrones of temptation

II.

IN THE ROOM OF THRONES

(instrumental)

There was a time

When nine choirs sang the endless melody of light

Music of the spheres

Threre was a place

Where mortals embraced thunder and majesty

Their fate lay in our hands

Feel my wings slowly fading (ooh)

Forever lost in time (ooh)

I cry (ooh)

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 strength of infinite measure

The mighty sword divides order from chaos 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

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

Rising from the north — the warrior prince (Eternal is the pain that leads me

to temptation)

Judgement without compassion eyes of fear

Like the river styx, the gates of hell (Eternal is the pain that leads me to

temptation)

«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 strength is my name

VI.

BRINGER OF THE APOCALYPSE

(instrumental)

I. Eve of Sacrifice

II.

Armies in the Sky

III.

Dies Irae

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’ve left behind

Beneath the stars, moon and warm sun

And all I know is my paradise has begun
