Kamelot

"Dear Editor,
This is the Zodiac speaking. I am back with you. Tell Herb Caen I am here. I have always been here. That city pig, Toschi, is good, but I am both smarter and better. He will get tired then leave me alone. I am waiting for a good movie about me. Who will play me? I am now in control of all things. Yours truly..."

[Roy]
Call me a liar, a king or a fool,
But sing me a song of prosperity
Higher and higher, the farther we fall
Hard to remember

[Simone]
I will surrender and I'll always wait
Wait as in all of eternity
Hard to remember
And hard to forget this shadow
That hangs over me

[Roy, Simone]
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
And take away this shadow over me

[Roy]
Cry me a river, but once you run dry
Say there's a reason you do
[Simone]
Godless endeavors, smothered and broken
All that I wanted was you

[Roy, Simone]
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls ever die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away this shadow over me

[Roy] Under the starlight you shine your solitude
[Simone] Eyes on the ocean and far beyond west of the moon

[Roy, Simone]
Take me home to a house on a hill, in oblivion
Where souls ever die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
Over the hills
Home, to your house on a hill, to oblivion
Where souls ever die all alone
You're longing for love, not for sympathy
So take away this shadow over me

I'm not sure if she could ease your pain
You've been gone for a while
Crushed your heart and soul and teased your bane
Hush your mouth
Here she, here she comes, here she comes
Watch out

She can see you like the hounds of hell
Smells your fear when you flee
Here she comes, velvet ocean paradise
The power sorceress at your finger tips
God made flesh perfect alibi

You saw her walking over poison ivy leaves,
Nobody knows her name
But something must have opened your eyes, it seems
Cause nothing is quite the same

I'm not sure about a thing you know
Days are long in the haze
Here she comes, velvet ocean paradise
The power sorceress get a glimpse of God
Here she comes with her good advice

You wanted every single moment you've resigned
Knowing there's none to blame
You might as well I swear on my life you tried
As if tomorrow came

Searching in the deepest forest
Merging with belief you saw her
All you've seen and all you've known
Tells you that she kept you warm

You saw her walking over poison ivy leaves
Nobody knows her name
And something must have opened your eyes, it seems
Cause nothing is quite the same

You've wanted every single moment you've resigned
Knowing there's none to blame
You might as well have swear on the life I try
As if tomorrow came

In the shadow of my doubt
This life is dust on naked walls
In the ruins of defeat
The spotlights fade
There's a clown without a crowd
His sorrow smiles relentlessly
Welcome winter bittersweet
Of final fall

My train of thoughts
Keep on hauling me over a low again
Easy to see for a someone
Whose soul can bleed

Who am I to overrule
Believers at the wonder wall
Some illusions come undone
And violently

My train of thoughts
Keep on hauling me over a low again
Easy to see for a someone
Whose soul can bleed

My train of thoughts
Keep on hauling me over a low again
Easy to see for a someone
Whose soul can bleed

So far astray
When all comes to all
You'll never be satisfied
You might as well let go

My train of thoughts
Keep on hauling me over a low again
Easy to see for a someone
Whose soul can bleed

My train of thoughts
Keep on hauling me over a low again
Easy to see for a someone
Whose soul can bleed

Sunshine
Swell life
Soak in another day
All that I need
Reason to go
You and I
Could fly away
We'd go up
And never come back down
From Heaven you know

Wake me
Revolve
In my wounds
Lay down your enemy
On the altar of refined deception
Hate me
I'm all over you
Reset the harmony
Like a fire in the night

Pushing closer
East side silence
One last warning
West side
Let all be friends
Every nation
Thank you
For putting down your arms

[This was the war
To end all wars
This was the war to save democracy]

Wake me
Like nails in my spine
Let's play the tragedy
In the fire of
A last temptation
Hate me for wasting my time
On commonalities
In the name of self-respect

Don't wait too long
Don't harvest too late
May I wish you won't
Believe in your fate

Wake me
Revolve
In my wounds
Lay down your enemy
Hate me for wasting my time
On commonalities
In this city of the dead

I am scorn in this heavenly scheme
With a stench of destruction
I'm a reaper of beautiful dreams
And she knows I'm on the edge, sacrilege!

[Whispers] Push, please push me over

Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes and see myself reborn
[Choir] Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm

I am you and I know that you heard
You and I are the last at the end of the world
then we talk and we run and we hide
then so what
the human race suffocates

[Whispers] Leave me breathless

Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes and see myself reborn
[Choir] Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm
I wait for the storm
I wait for the storm

Move along
Through the ashes of a dream
Move along
I see myself anew again

Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes and see myself reborn
[Choir] Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
Or wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm

Pull the trigger now
If you're craving a hero
Or say life after death
Was it you or was it me
Who had to fake
Implementation
Of a lonely heart
So warm and oh so weak

My fractured eyes
In the mold below
The fattest lies
Hold your needs

Wait for the morning
Come a different day
Carry the weight of all
You say is wrong
We both would deny
There is a secret fate
A seal of woven years
Of waiting flying by

Rush my head
Into your wall of complaints
And crush me softly
Like you crushed yourself asunder
You better leave me be

Now go
For my soul was sold
For a rainy day
But it's not too late
For a full retreat

Wait for the morning
Come a different day
Carry the weight of all
You say is wrong
We both would deny
There is a secret fate
A seal of woven years
Of waiting flying by

[Instrumental part]

Wait for the morning
Come a different day
Carry the weight of all
You say is wrong
We both would deny
There is a secret fate
A seal of woven years
Of waiting flying by

[Whispers]
War, war, war, war, war, war, war...
On a silent shore
I spoke to God
The sun is down
Assemble the great pandemonium
Waaaaaaaaar!

One more down by the book of Babylon
One more down in accordance with my fate
One long drift 'cross the lake of Avalon
One more trip that I must create

And my eyes sweep a shore that was always there
A blood red line through the sonisphere
I can't resolve where it's coming from
I sense it the great pandemonium

[Growl]
One more, Just one more
Just one, Just one more day

One more day by the pits of hell
Just one more when even yesterday was too late
One more thought that I had to sell
One last trick that you can debate

[Growl] Waaaaaaaaar

On a silent shore I confronted fear
I spoke to God but he wasn't there
The sun is down and the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium

[Growls]
Red light
Hit the brake now
Red light
Hit the brake now

And my eyes sweep a shore that was always there
A blood red line through the sonisphere
I can't resolve where it's coming from
I sense it the great pandemonium

On a silent shore I confronted fear
I spoke to God but he wasn't there
The sun is down and the war begun
Assemble the great pandemonium

[Growl]
Just one, Just one, Just one more day
Just one, Just one, Just one more day
Just one, Just one more
Waaaaaaaaar

She was so kind to me
She sang her little shadow song
And I could not resist it
Bitter blood, come sing along

With your hand upon the bible
Would you swear that is the truth?
(The whole truth and the truth alone)

If she had only shut her mouth

Shattered memories
Of quiet cold rejection
A careful devil's irony
In pure perfection
In pure deceit

You ask me
Was it all I had to tell?
Was it all I could recall?
No.. then I broke her neck
A twisted china white facade
I may seem unaffected
But don’t we all want to be God?

Is it all you can remember?
Would you swear it on your life?

You will never really know my name
Without reflection
A careful devil's irony
In pure perfection
In pure deceit

But in the moment it’s so beautiful
Flow along with the hunger
With the nature of the beast

These are shattered memories
Of quiet cold rejection
A careful devil's irony
In pure perfection
You will never really know my name
Without reflection
A careful devil's irony
In pure perfection
In pure deceit

What's a miracle
If life itself is not?
Who am I to praise its worth
With a hymn
I may stumble
Over words that I forgot,
Just as life itself
May slowly begin.

Sing me a song for the mountains to move,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.

I am skeptical
I like my glass of wine,
I don't know your name
Or what I am to do.
One day you'll wonder why
Try read between the lines,
And you will sing for me
The way I sang for you.

Sing me a song for the ocean to part,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem of life.

So another page is turned,
I pray I understand what's happening,
But if anything
I do know this,
I'll be the best I can.

Sing me a song like the angels rejoice,
Sing me an anthem of life,
Sing me the anthem,
Sing me the anthem of life.

First you said that you would never leave me
Merry were my days
Then you told me life is never easy
And left without a trace

But how come I want you
Like the soil yearns for the rain

Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong, tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white

You will never know how much I miss you
Or open to my fear
Find the maze I made my way through
And enter if you dare
How, how come I want you
Like the soil yearns for the rain

Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong, tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white

Remember my name
And paint the darkness with your light
Go sing your song for all the broken hearted
Like Eden echoes in my head
The unforgiven gave you all

Won't you light up
Won't you light up my life
Let my soul breathe
Tell me wrong, tell me right
You're my mind cage
Like a mountain far away
You were always there
Dressed in summer white

Once a while
When your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door, can you hear the crowd is waiting
For the last encore
Screaming out for my attention

Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
This is my song

Like the dead
I am on the other side
They're howling in my head
There's no remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear
Let the music fill the night
And soon it's all we hear
Screaming out for my attention

Chanting my name
Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude

Don't wake me until it's over
I, I may be dreaming away

Chanting my name
Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra

Once a while
When your sorrows have a name
And day is dark as night
There's no remorse and no redemption
Close the door, can you hear the crowd is waiting
For the last encore
Screaming out for my attention

Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude
This is my song

Like the dead
I am on the other side
They're howling in my head
There's no remorse and no redemption
Hush my dear
Let the music fill the night
And soon it's all we hear
Screaming out for my attention

Chanting my name
Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra
Like a crescendo of gratitude

Don't wake me until it's over
I, I may be dreaming away

Chanting my name
Chanting my name

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra

Welcome all
To curtain call
At the opera
Raging voices in my mind
Rise above the orchestra

When they met she was fifteen
Like a black rose blooming wild
And she already knew
She was gonna die

"What's tomorrow without you?
This is our last goodbye..."

She got weaker every day
As the autumn leaves flew by
Until one day she told him
"This is when I die"

"What was summer like for you?"
She asked him with a smile
"What's tomorrow without you?"
He silently replied

[She said]
"I will always be with you
I'm the anchor of your sorrow
There's no end to what I'll do
Cause I love you
I love you to death"

But the sorrow went too deep
The mountain fell too steep
And the wounds would never heal
Cause the pain of the loss
Was more than he could feel

[He said]
"I will always be with you
By the anchor of my sorrow
All I know or ever knew
Is I love you
I love you to death"

"What's tomorrow without you?
Is this our last goodbye?"

"I will always be with you
I'm the anchor of your sorrow
There's no end to what I'll do
Cause I love you..."

Under fears you restore your beliefs,
Like an old man in church on a Sunday.
Crawl the dirt on your elbows and knees,
Any minute you know you could die.

So come save us, turn water to wine,
Give me words of unfathomable wisdom
As I'm crossing the enemy's line,
Where the wounded and dead show the way.

(Show me the way)

Tell me when the night is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish
Beneath the mourning star.

How can there be a reason for war
For the life of a human that suffers
I remember, I heard it before,
Tell me all when a new day begins.

(The new day begins)

Tell me when the night is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish
beneath the mourning star.
When the victory is won,
The old cliche,
Underneath the same old mourning star.

[Rest in peace all that be good]
Why please tell me why
[Rest in peace thy fatherhood]
You gave the world all this pain

Tell me when the night is gone,
Like washed away,
Make a wish
Beneath the mourning star.
When the victory is won,
The old cliche,
Underneath the same old mourning star.

When a new day reaches dawn
I feel it's worth the wait
But I tumble and I fall
When up against my fate

When the barricades come down
I build it up again
When I'm just about to drown
I still don't know the end

Sometimes I tremble like a little child
That faces mourning with a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble when the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that I could rule the world

When the morning comes alive
Release your love brigade
At the end of day is night
To suck it up with hate

Sometimes I tremble like a little child
That faces mourning with a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble when the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that I could rule the world

Rule the world

Sometimes I tremble like a little child
That faces mourning with a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble when the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that I could rule the world

(That faces mourning with a broken smile
Sometimes I crumble when the shades unfurl
Sometimes I feel that I could rule the world)

I don't dare to take it slowly,
Cause time may pass me by.
Restless like a newborn morning,
I am hard to satisfy.
Will you take me away?

In the silence of the darkness,
I can't pretend
I'm wide awake
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I stumble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.

I can paint the world with flowers,
Grown by heaven's gate.
And reckless like a stormy ocean,
I could cover them with hate.
But it all sounds the same.

In the silence of the darkness,
I can't pretend
I'm wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I stumble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.

In the silence of the darkness,
I can't pretend I'm wide awake,
Afraid I could go under.
In the silence of the darkness,
I stumble for the light of day,
But the journey never ends.
