The Divine Wings Of Tragedy

Symphony X

[Part I - At the Four Corners of the Earth]

[Lyrics: Romeo, Pinnela]



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]

[Lyrics: Michael Romeo]



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 -

forever lost in time - I cry



[Part IV - The Wrath Divine]

[Lyrics: 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]

[Lyrics: Michael Romeo]



The prophet cries

Vast battalions rage on in the sky

Rising rom 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)
