the divine wings of tragedy

Symphony X

(Part I - At the Four Corners of the Earth)
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 ...


(Part II - In the Room of Thrones)
(Instrumental)


Part III - A Gathering of Angels
(Michael 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
(Michael Romeo, Thomas 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 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 ...


Part V - The Prophet's Cry
(Michael 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 prophet?s 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

Part VI - Bringer of the Apocalypse
(Instrumental)

Eve of Sacrifice/Armies in the Sky/Dies Irae *

Part VII - Paradise Regained
(Russel Allen, Michael 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...
