Lyrics And Then There Was Silence - Blind Guardian

And Then There Was Silence

He carries along
From a distant place
He’s on his way
He’ll bring decay
(Don't move along
'Cause things they will go wrong
The end is getting closer day by day)
In shades of grey
We’re doomed to face the night
Light’s out of sight
Since we’ve reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight we wait for the moon
The sky is empty
Alone in the unknown
We’re getting nowhere
We have been betrayed
By the wind and rain
The sacred hall’s empty and cold
The sacrifice made
Should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome
We live a lie
Under the dying moon
Pale-faced laughs doom
Indulges in delight
It’s getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall
Hear my voice
There is no choice
There’s no way out
You’ll find out
We don’t regret it So many men have failed
But now he’s gone
Go out and get it The madman’s head it Shall be thyne
We don’t regret it That someone else dies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it Orion’s hound shines bright
Don’t you think it’s time to stop the chase
Around the ring
Just stop running running
Round the ring
Don’t you know that fate has been decided by the gods
Feel the distance, distance
Out of reach
Welcome to the end
Watch your step, Cassandra
You may fall
As I’ve stumbled on the field
Sister mine
Death’s a certain thing
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
And the other world
The other world appears
Find myself she dies in vain
I cannot be freed
I’m falling down
As time runs faster
Moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you
My dear
