Kamelot Album

[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

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

Searching in the deepest forest
merging with belief you saw her
all you've seen and all youv've known
tells you that she kept you warm

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

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

"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..."

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

Someone to protect and be protected by
When that certain fury would come
Someone to respect and be respected by
When deprivation took its toll on you

No more to defend
Fading away

'Cause we were always alone,
We were born in the hunter's season
All I really ever wanted
Was for you, you to die
In the arms of someone

Someone to remember hold me to the ground
When the sudden glory is gone
Mother would you send a sign, a message down
Consolidation with your only son

No more to defend
But someone to love

'Cause we were always alone,
We were born in the hunter's season
All I really ever wanted
Was for you, you to die
In the arms of someone

It's destiny
That falls upon you
'Cause nothing remains
So long
Only a miracle
Could have killed the pain
You see
Now you're gone

[Guitar solo]

In silent custody
You meet my eyes
Though life is long
I know you'll wait for me
You know it too

'Cause we were always alone,
We were born in the hunter's season
All I really ever wanted
Was for you, you to die
In the arms of someone

[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

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

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

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

There was a time when I was young
A boy with bold ambitions
There was a time when I could tell
The crooked from the wicked one

There was a song that someone sung
A hint of recognition
There was a time
I knew you well enough
To know you won't be gone

Come with me tonight
Tell me how it feels to be alive

There was a time I had respect
A name of reputation
There was a time
When I could watch myself
Without being disgraced

Come with me tonight
Let us find a place where we can hide

Come into the light
Let me show you how we stay alive

(instrumental)

(spoken)
The word "incubus" means "to lie on",
and it was believed that any heavy feeling in bed,
such as a weight pressing down on your chest,
especially accompanied by nightmares,
was a sure sign that an incubus had attempted to have a nocturnal intercourse with you.
Given the religious fervor of the middle ages,
there's not all together surprising that the idea of a demon lover, was believed to account of this phenomenon

[Roy]
A minute more, till the light of day is seen, lay down,
I know you must be nearly there
A bloody kiss and the vision of a dream
For the last of your days in the sun

[Simone]
In the white light I am calm
Yet peculiarly cold
Silent slumber and wide awake
Lord have mercy on my soul

[Choir, Roy] So long your sorrow be gone
[Simone] Show me how it feels to be alive
[Choir, Roy] No more denial
[Roy] So long
[Simone] Let us find a place where we can hide

[Roy]
You fed me long, and by God you fed me well
Sleep tight, this day belongs to you my dear
And I am bound like a beast into its prey
We are one of a kind, you and I

[Simone]
Pale moon wander, I'm wide awake
Lord have mercy on my soul

[Choir, Roy] So long your sorrow be gone
[Simone] Show me how it feels to be alive
[Choir, Roy] No more denial
[Roy] So long
[Simone] Show me all the splendors of the night

[Choir] So long
[Roy] The little last of your attention
[Choir] So long
[Roy] This flood to wash your mind
[Choir] Feel me
[Roy] The God of your imagination
[Choir] Feel me
[Roy] Come with me tonight

[Guitar solo]

[Roy, Simone] So long your sorrow be gone
[Roy] Show me how it feels to be alive
[Roy, Simone] No more denial, so long

[Simone]
I am the hole in your broken heart
I am the reason we all depart

[Choir] Bye, all is over
[Simone] Ah!
[Roy] What if all is over
[Choir] Bye, all is over
[Simone] Ah!

Life in slow review
I see it with my eyes
Deeper down and farther back
The storm reveals a hidden track
The sun is coming through

Down by a lake as a child without a fear
When a mother's warm embrace
Made a haven in the maze
Those were the moments
And these were my days

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

[No lyrics]

[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
