Symphony X : Behind The Mask
Les paroles
1. ORION THE HUNTER
Child of the oceans I am, walking on the waves
Stirring the pools, I silence and calm the tides to a glaze
Touched by a vision of love, her beauty recognized
Elusive to me, progressions are now violence in disguise
On a quest for light, and braving the seas
Chasing the morning star, wait for me...
Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see
I cannot see my future destiny
[Chorus:]
Ohh...the hunter looks at you with eyes to kill
Praying for your life-the mighty rage against the still
For whom the God's destroy, they first make mad
Receiving the sun, and falling like hourglass sand
Child of the sea I am, in starlight I reside
Glow silver and white, eternal and bright in the sky
On a quest for light, and braving the seas
Chasing the morning star, wait for me...
Now I'm blinded, this vision I cannot see
I cannot see my future destiny
[Chorus](x2)
Ohh...the hunter
Ohh...the hunter
Ohh...the hunter
I'm the hunter
2. OF SINS AND SHADOWS
Of Sins and Shadows
Passing through the void
The darkest grand illusion
Chaos is riding on the wind
Destroyed in agony
They create a maddened lair
Summon all to heed their cry
Innocence fading away
The dying eyes of prey
[Chorus:]
Desperate cries, hail of fire deciding
All our fate in the night
Tempt in sin, shadows then begin to
Gather the souls they hold within
Victims of desire
Pestilence of their invasion
Forms then take on evil waves
Paralyze, victimize
The shadows fall and enter fast
From the sky - (from the sky)
Summon all to heed their cry
Innocence fading away
The dying eyes of the prey
[Chorus]
I've betrayed - slowly fade
I repent my inner plea
I've denied - sanctified
Cannot hide form this
Monstrosity
I'm immersed in a curse
Of this jaded imagery
Realize that your cries
Only jeopardize this legacy
[Chorus](x2)
3. THE EDGE OF FOREVER
Pictures of what used to be,
Lie in pieces on the floor
Finds himself in an empty room,
Her voice calls out to him
He opens the door, but there's no one there
No one there...
Draped in a silken glow of moonlight
Through the mist I see, a lucid cathedral appears to me
Pray for a glimpse of touch of sunlight
Chain our shadow down, night settles in, my love,
You never make a sound.
Love is flowing from my fingertips
Never in control of this domain.
All around me, my essence lay
Watch the vultures circle through the pouring rain.
[Chorus:]
Close your eyes - and try to remember
Discordant lullabies of days gone by.
Close your eyes - on the edge of forever
A chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.
As the walls converge around me.
Castles crumbling down, everything is not
As it seems to be.
Once more, I fells I must return
No more will my soul burn. Dawn breaks the ground,
My love,
And with it you fade away...
[Chorus](x2)
My love never dies...
4. ABSINTHE AND RUE
In your time of dying don't call my name
So you see me as evil it's just the same
Through the windows in my mind
Now you're cast in flames
[Chorus:]
Absinthe and Rue
Twisted wings of paranoia
Twilight runs through eyes of ignorance
Afflicted, addicted, and wicked
You'll loom in fear
Severed, endeavored in trial
Time closes near
Obsessing, possessing, confessing consumed by sin
Injected, infected by venom that's searing your skin
Through the windows in my mind
Now you're cast in flames
[Chorus]
