KAMELOT LYRICS

1. Overture (Intro)

[Instrumental]

2. The Great Divide

Sleepless I have wondered
If my brokenness was you
Questioning the hunger
When this madness was all I knew
You would never hold me
When my veins keep bleeding through
But no one could ever want you like I do

As the sun sets
In the glowing west
I declare my manifest

Beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore

Tortured I have crumbled
In the prison of my own mind
Like a martyr I have stumbled
Through the chaos you leave behind
Eager like a hunter
I have suffered from our lie
No one will ever need you more than I

As the sun sets
In the glowing west
I declare my manifest

Beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore

Ghostlike shadows
Howling in my head
My dear
Fearful voices
I am not alone
When you are here

Come break my bones
And leave me dying
Sticks and stones
Won't have me crying
Even if I fall
I will keep trying
You will see my wings unfold

Somewhere far beyond the great divide
Where the darkness meets the light
Like an everlasting storm
You will be my paramour
Cause beyond the great divide
Where the days and dreams collide
From the Ashendust reborn
We will rise again forevermore

3. Eventide

Passing through the dark
Like silent ships at night
Drifting on the waves to find a beacon
A peaceful harbor
Here you are again
Just like so many times before
To share with me the stories of our lives

From you, my friend
I ask just one thing

Shine your light in Eventide
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
Your song shall guide me through
My house of pain

Spiritual Oracle

A passenger departs
Into the vast unknown
Lovingly he reads the final chapter
They ever wrote
The company more comforting
Than words could ever say
Until the ending pages
I will stay

From you, my friend
I ask just one thing

Shine your light in Eventide
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
Your song shall guide me through
My house of pain

Spiritual Oracle

We did not go quietly into the night
Old friend, now it's time for you and I
To wave our goodbye

I will be there waiting with a smile
When you arrive

I'll shine my light in Eventide
Companion till all hope has died
Until life and death will reunite
My song shall guide you through
My house of pain

4. One More Flag In The Ground

One more flag in the ground

I am an island
Waiting for hell to unleash on my shore
Sharp is my weapon
I am preparing for war

I shall walk on this bridge over trenches below
With fear as my faithful companion
Life (Death)
Protecting my last dominion

One more flag in the ground
I am a soldier, I'm marching into battle
I am a warrior and this is my creed
One more flag in the ground

I bleed for my vision
Pain is the weakness I'm leaving behind
This is my mission
I am an army of one

And I'm facing the fire that's raging inside
With faith as my fearless companion
Life (Death)
Protecting my last dominion

One more flag in the ground
I am a soldier, I'm marching into battle
I am a warrior and this is my creed
One more flag in the ground

I am a soldier
I know my conviction will carry me home
Your hand on my shoulder
'Cause I am not walking alone

I, I am a soldier and
I, I don't walk alone
I, I am a warrior
And I'm coming home

One more flag in the ground
I am a soldier, I'm marching into battle
One more victory won
I am a warrior and this is my creed
One more flag in the ground
I am a soldier, I'm marching into battle
One more victory won
I am a warrior and this is my creed
One more flag in the ground

5. Opus Of The Night (Ghost Requiem)

[feat. Tina Guo]

It was cold the day they found you by the river
Broken dreams had turned to ice upon your cheek
It was cold the day I swore
Until my dying breath
I'd be give my life to heal those broken dreams

I've waited
Longed for the day
To show you
To take you away

Rise to the queen of the symphony
Watch her step into the light
Surrender your heart to the melody
Let it take flight
She'll sing to you
The Opus of the night

Trembling steps into a world she had forgotten
Dusty roses on a royal velvet seat
And the letter in her name
Brings her back again
Familiar the notes upon the sheet

I've waited
Longed for the day
Seduce me
Take me away

Rise to the queen of the symphony
Watch her step into the light
Surrender your heart to the melody
Let it take flight
She'll sing to you
The Opus of the night

A dark silhouette
Lingering age old desperation
Reviving grand nostalgia
Come shivers of pure admiration

Close your eyes
Now let your emotions take flight
Goddess in white

Rise to the queen of the symphony
Watch her step into the light
Surrender your heart to the melody
Let it take flight
She'll sing to you
The Opus of the night

One last encore for the queen of the stage
One final bow for the old prima donna

I sing to you
The Opus Of The Night

6. Midsummer's Eve

[feat. Tina Guo]

Still unkissed
Maiden of mist
Don't let your soul go to waste
Come pain, come grief
Come precious relief
Memories fade in the dark

So come reveries
An old fashioned heart
Is a winterland waiting to bloom
Simple sentiments
Wild and untamed
Free like the northern wind

Like a dream
On Midsummer's eve
I've come to sweep you away
Seven promises
In her hair
Like a crown
Fit for a queen

In candle light
Futures unite
Crossing the great ocean wide
Come endless nights
Come weathering heights
I dare you to walk by my side

So come sacrifice
The unselfish love
Is a offering worthy of life
Till the day I die
You will be safe and free
Like the evening breeze

Like a dream
On Midsummer's eve
I've come to sweep you away
Seven promises
In her hair
Like a crown
Fit for a queen

As the autumn bids us farewell
I'll sing you our song
The same old heartfelt words
Just one last time
And the story will sound like a dream

Like a dream
On Midsummer's eve
I've come to sweep you away
Seven promises
In her hair
Like a silver crown
Fit for a queen
Queen of mine
Queen of mine

7. Bloodmoon

You abandoned him
When he needed you the most
You walked away
And left him there to die
You could have reconciled
You could have asked him to forgive
Now I know how much I wanted to forgive

I am wide awake
I'm all alone
And free of the voices that haunts me

A deep red horizon
Brings tears to my eyes
Tears for a long lost Utopia
A Bloodmoon is rising
To honor the old ancient skies
My sweet Azraelle
I welcome you

The young boy believed
He had to earn his fathers love
But silent was the kingdom that he ruled
Yes I have bleed for you
And I have shown you every scar
But now I've learned
That I must love you from a far

I am burning the letters
I wrote in my mind
To silence the voices that haunt me

A deep red horizon
Brings tears to my eyes
Tears for a long lost Utopia
A Bloodmoon is rising
To honor the old ancient skies
My sweet Azraelle
I welcome you

There is one last cry
Like fire through the silence
Only one more drop of blood
Shall fall from these wounds
To color the snow

A deep red horizon
Brings tears to my eyes
Tears for a long lost Utopia
A Bloodmoon is rising
To honor the old ancient skies
My sweet Azraelle
My sweet Azraelle

8. Nightsky

There will come a day
When you need me
And you feel like you're going insane
Even when I'm gone
And you can't see me
I'll be there to whisper in your veins
To run like the river
Stand tall like the mountain tops
Everything you want in this lifetime
Is yours to conquer

I'll stay with you all through your pain
Blood of my blood
Remember your name

Cause when the nightsky is coming down
I'm watching over you
And when the darkness falls
Just close your eyes
Remember your name

Desperation
You feel like you're losing control
Even in the smallest vibrations
I am there, the whisper in your veins
To run like the river

Cause when the nightsky is coming down
I'm watching over you
And when the darkness falls
Just close your eyes
Remember your name
Cause when the nightsky is coming down
I'll walk you through the rain
And when the sadness closes in on you
Remember your name

Give life to a brand new day
Remember your name
Being brave does not mean you're no afraid
It means you do it anyway

Cause when the nightsky is coming down
I'm watching over you
And when the darkness falls
Just close your eyes
Remember your name
Cause when the nightsky is coming down
I'll walk you through the rain
And when the sadness closes in on you
Remember your name
Always remember you name

9. The Looking Glass

What if I told you a story
Where all that you wished for came true
A world of abundance and glory
Where fear is a servant of you
There's a place where the mind of the weary
Can bloom with the grace of a rose
Where darkness is imaginary
And courage like wildfire grows

I am making my way through the shallows
I'm washing the ashes away

What if the heart was never broken
How can we stand up and walk
If we never learn how to fall
And what if the truth was left unspoken
There's a way for us all
To make peace with the pain

The key to your deepest desires
Is lost in the flames of your past
Alone you must walk through the fire
Where peace will await you at last

I am making my way from the shallows
I'm washing the ashes away

So what if the heart was never broken
How can we stand up and walk
If we never learn how to fall
And what if the truth was left unspoken
There's a way for us all
To make peace with the pain

Through the looking glass I see
All water, dust and scar
From a distance what are we
But remnants of fallen star

So what if the heart was never broken
How can we stand up and walk
If we never learn how to fall
And what if the truth was left unspoken
There's a way for us all
To make peace with the pain

10. New Babylon

[feat. Simone Simons of Epica & Melissa Bonny of Ad Infinitum]

Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry
New Babylon
We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light
New Pariah

Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry
New Babylon
We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light
New Pariah

How could I forgive myself
If I was to let go
And how could I reclaim
My own asylum
If my defenses would fall
For I have always had these wounds
I've faced the world alone
Yet never will I sway
Never back away
From the edge of the light

Welcome home to a place
Where the Titans rule
Take me home
To drown in an ocean of lies

Now swear in conformity
New Babylon
The face of conspiracy
New Pariah

Arrival of a new born child
A miracle of life
The freedom of a choice
An undistorted voice
From the edge of the light

Welcome home to a place
Where the Titans rule
Take me home
I'm parting the ocean of lies

Now swear in conformity
New Babylon
The face of conspiracy
New Pariah

Another tyrant lays to die
Under the black Babylonian sky
And the crowd goes wild
As they silence the sound of the drum
That led them astray

All is burning
Deep is the abyss
A storm is coming
Feel the serpents kiss
Brace for impact
Shields to form a wall
By the hands of the small
Every giant must fall

(Beware the dynasty
Spreading conformity
The secret ministry
New Babylon
We are born, we are sold, we're deprived
Of the chance for the truth, of our rights
We are hiding from the light
New Pariah)

Now swear in conformity
New Babylon
The face of conspiracy
New Pariah
Now swear in conformity
New Babylon conspiracy
New Pariah

11. Willow

Endless days, eternal nights
Midnight sun and cyan skies
My heart remembers
When my last summer turns to fall
And my eyes have seen it all
I shall return

Underneath the willows
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain my pillow
As I fall asleep

Anthem for the old and free
Never left my memory
I sang it proudly
Bitter cold winds from the sea
They were always kind to me
One day I shall return

Underneath the willows
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain my pillow
As I fall asleep

Thank you for your humble grace
So motherly the love you gave me
In your care I grew to be
The man I have become

Underneath the willows
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain my pillow
As I fall asleep
Underneath the willow tree
Where my roots grow childhood deep
My memories remain
As I fall asleep
As I lay to rest

When my eyes have seen it all
I shall return

12. My Pantheon (Forevermore)

Wilting summer nights
Coming to an end
Reaching for salvation
Yearning for the truth

In the name of revelation
We leave the ignorant behind
This is the beauty condemnation
Tell me how can one paint
In colour for the blind

Dance for me graciously
Be a feast for my eyes

When all your heroes have fallen
Say a prayer for the valour of one
And when all that glitters has faded away
Stand brave my Pantheon

Bring me chaos and confusion
I shall prosper in the pain
I am the stoic evolution
Father how can one tell
A sinner from a saint

Lie to me graciously
Be a feast for my eyes

When all your heroes have fallen
Say a prayer for the valour of one
And when all that glitters has faded away
Stand brave my Pantheon

My Pantheon
Wise
Quiet seduction of mine
Brave
I drive the shadow forces away
Brave
I can hear the wailing echoes say

Born into violence
Our tethered souls
Keep asking questions why
What if there was something there
To easy my troubled mind
Release me from these shackles

You held my hand so patiently
Caressed my deepest fears
In memoriam of faded years
Stand brave my Pantheon

When all your heroes have fallen
Say a prayer for the valour of one
And when all that glitters has faded away
Stand brave my Pantheon
My Pantheon

13. Ephemera (Outro)

[Instrumental]

14. Call Of The Void

[Japanese Bonus Track]

Do you ever really live
Like you're about to die
Past our ignorance
There's hope for you and I
If in denial we pretend
A soul can never truly mend
How vain the pretentious mind

Because what is forgiveness worth
Without someone to hold you close
When you atone

Find me
Save me from this mountain
Take my hand before I fall
Denying the call of the void
Guide me
Name me in the fountain
Of eternal life for all
I follow your voice
Denying the call of the void

How would you choose to live
If tomorrow never came
What would you say
And what would you give

Because what is salvation worth
Without someone to hold your hand
When you atone

Find me
Save me from this mountain
Take my hand before I fall
Denying the call of the void
Guide me
Name me in the fountain
Of eternal life for all
I follow your voice
Denying the call of the void

Waiting for a lifeline
Before the ruthless tide
Our heads remain unbowed
We're capsized in the crashing waves
Left to die

In our search
For a higher purpose
A stronger calling
We strive to carry on when we believe
When there's water all around you
And you're lost beneath the surface
Ask and you shall receive

Find me
Save me from this mountain
Take my hand before I fall
Denying the call of the void
Guide me
Name me in the fountain
Of eternal life for all
I follow your voice
Denying the call of the void
