Angra - Temple Of Shadows (2004) by Angra (보컬) on maniadb.com

Woke up to life not long ago
You think your mind is in control?
God will take it back someday

It's not so hard to understand
They say the world has good and bad
Father Universe brings Love and Hate

Glorious - You'll lead the way
To free the world from these chains
Glorious - Your story now begins, Oh!
Fire!

Unleash the angel of the Light
Thank him for bringing us to life
Lucifer is just a name!

We are the only ones to blame
Just look around, I'm not insane!
Satan is a child of our God

Glorious - Don't be afraid
To lead the way with thy sword
Glorious - You are the chosen one. Go!

Spread your fire

(Salve ara, salve victima)
Spread your fire
(De passionis gloria)
Spread your fire
(Qua vita mortem pertulit)
Spread your fire
(Et morte vitam reddidit)

Glorious - Don't be afraid
To lead the way with thy sword
Glorious - You are the chosen one. Go!

Spread your fire
(Salve ara, salve victima)
Spread your fire
(De passionis gloria)
Like a dragon spread your fire
(Qua vita mortem pertulit)
Spread your fire
(Et morte vitam reddidit)

Dreams - sensations you prove
Are taken from nature
You find those emotions are true in your mind

Fight against the kingdom of fear
Sooner or later they'll try to convince you are wrong
But I'm sure..
We're just

Crawling Angels and Demons disguised
The truth you don't know so try to be sure
When your Angels and Demons arise
Face the Truth: God is not love!

Feel as fluid as life,
Love is a rainbow
As much as it seems to be real
It's all in your mind

Sooner or later I'm gonna convince that
The truth is a lie
There's no Judge when we die
Only dust
We're just

Crawling Angels and Demons disguised
The truth you don't know so try to be sure
When your Angels and Demons arise
You know, when Angels and Demons arise,
But we're still not sure which way we should go
When the Angels and Demons disguise
Just confusing our brains with their lies
Enticing emotions
Revolting devotions
The Angels and Demons telling me lies!

Caught in space and time
Like a bird in a cage
Cruelly confined
In a passing matters state

You suddenly realize
That the wrong is the right
Daring the laws
Ready to put up a fight
But...

Love will drag your heart away
To a world where dreams are made
Can't hide away
When your helpless mind obeys

Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone

All the secrets of life reveal
To my eyes I can't conceal
And again I fly away
To a world where dreams are made

Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Forever the fate is hungry
for your soul
Together we wait in silence
(Still are the cries)
Worth your while until you're gone

Life's too short to grieve in sorrow
(Still are the cries)
Fate is waiting for your soul
(Secrets inside)
Live your life like no tomorrow
(Still are the cries)
Worth you're while until you're gone

Fate's gonna take your soul!

Close your eyes, what do you see?
Takes a while to believe
Feel the wind kissing your chin
Hold your cries make your wish
Dream away, breath...

Why did it take so long to understand?
Black sheep of the flock will soon be banned
Don't lose your hope, wish away

(Journey to the sacred
ground of Dreamland)
To one's heart's content I'll be free again
(Visions telling secrets on the Dreamland)
And my fortune ends
in the Wishing Well

Close your eyes what do you feel?
Hold your cries keep it still
Where am I? Why am I here?
Reasons where
Reasons why

(Journey to the sacred
ground of Dreamland)
To one's heart's content I'll be free again
(Visions telling secrets on the Dreamland)
And my fortune ends
in the Wishing Well

Oh! Who knows the truth
in this world?

(Journey to the sacred
ground of Dreamland)
To one's heart's content I'll be free again
(Visions telling secrets on the Dreamland)
And my fortune ends
in the Wishing Well

Close your eyes,
what do you see?
Make your dreams
come true again
Where am I? Why am I here?
Dreaming is believing,
your wishing well

Nations battle on the field across the land
Ruthless - stealing territories from our hands
Anger throwing down the victims to the ground
Cold blood younger soldiers weeping with no sound

Revolution striking down right now!

Blind fools fighting for the power to command
Flag poles threading down the freedom of our men
Innocence dying by the fury of the sword
Poor men falling before saying their last words

Revolution code XI
Striking over us

Sounds of revolution
Freedom is proclaimed
Bells announcing changes for the better
In the temple of hate
The temple of hate!
Satan awaits!

Revolution we have waited
Burning down our souls

Sounds of revolution
Freedom is proclaimed
Bells anouncing changes for the better
In the temple of hate
The temple of hate!
Satan awaits!
The temple of hate!

I remember the blood on his hands
So ashamed regretting his faults
So defenseless he came from the darkness
We spoke and had a good talk

Dark old hat reminds me of someone
I find hard to recall
Bowed his head surrendering to sorrow
Wears the face of war
Desperate cries:

(Desperate cries)
Running in circles
(Mourining in vain)
Resigning to terror
(A sinful warfare)
A sinful warfare
(Innocents die)
Lost in the faith from my fragile heart...
...From my heart

Wearing black, a bow without arrows
God, have mercy on his soul
Eyes of dread, entrenched in horror
My devotions are gone!

Desperate cries)
Running in circles
(Mourining in vain)
Resigning to terror
(A sinful warfare)
Atrocious attack
(Atrocious attack)
My crusaders faith
Drowns in religious blood
But I'll fight till the end
Gonna find my Holy Grail



Running blind against the faith
Reason slips away
Churches falling like castles on the sand
Ends the Holy War
Have the good for bad.

(What does a man gain from his work?
Under the sun where he labors

What is so good for a man in life?
During his days he's just like a shadow

Vanitas! Vanitas! Utters the oracle
A chasing after the wind

Meaningless! Meaningless searches for wisdom
Everything is in vain like your hunting for shadows)

Lost my pride, fought in vain
Had to find reasons to my pain - Oh!

Running blind against the faith
Running blind again
Church is falling like castles on the sand
Ends the Holy War
Jesus was a man

With a heart, with a mind
With a body, with a sould
So divine as your own

God has no mind, has no heart
Has no body, has no soul and no resemblance of you.

No!
(Like chasing the wind...)

Standing by his coffin
Thoughts have gone astray
Life is just a burden
Carry yours away
Wipe the tears that fall
Moments recalled in the Child's eyes
Watch the world go by
Flying through the stars
Won't hide the scars

Always
Mourning cries
Wasted in this world
I'd never realized
Smiles in the falling rain

Wash the tears away
Face the angels of death
Soon your time will be over
Your salvation is ahead
That's why I said
There is no pain for the dead

Dying now
Hourglass counts down
Leaving this world
Your destination is

Hiding mourning time
Face up to the world
Another day passes by
Living our minutes in vain
Wipe the tears away

(Triumph for the martyrs of the war
Fallen for the causes of the others...
Worth the sacrifice?
Heroes are dying now
Hearing their mothers cry
Heaven is a metaphor
Free your mind and spirit)

Mother Earth, do you part take my
soul, oh no!
Water, wind and fire...
Will take our spirits away

(Victims of Sacrifice)
Face the Angel of Death
(Struggling to survive)
Soon your time will be over
(Revolution remains)
Your salvation is ahead
It's not so sad
There is no pain for the dead
(Victims of Sacrifice)
There'll be no rest till you're dead
(Struggling to survive)
Liberation of soul
It's not so sad
There is no pain for the dead, oh!
...No pain for the dead

Blood is flowing on the ground
Like a river branching red lines
Anguish is all around
Hope yielding to despair

Life is a circumstance
Any minute slips away
God, please look upon us all
Do you give a damn?

Dancing in the air
Spinning leaves in circles giving
pleasure to my eyes
Sadden my delight
When the joy is over laying scattered
on the ground

Oh! The sun will rise
The beginning of creation
Oh! Into the skies
On the Winds of Destination
Carry us away...

Secret ark of Solomon
Hidden in the temple wreck...
for the king
Many years and centuries
Till seven knights from the order

Down the tunnels of the past
Learning from the undisclosed...
all the way!
Holding dreams on zealous hands
All those archives
Lost and wasted
Somewhere in the battle fields

Farewell to common world
Templars are watching
and guarding the scrolls
Shields of faith the knights behold
All Manuscripts of the sacred
laws are there

Dancing in the air
Spinning leaves in circles
Giving pleasure to my eyes

...arise!

Oh! The sun will rise
The beginning of creation
Oh! Into the skies
On the Winds of Destination
Carry us away

Old leaves will be falling
Old trees will remain
Whirlwind carries you away
For tomorrow be the same

I lay my eyes in the past
From the first day to the last
Several things we had to learn
Countless mistakes from times of yore

Now we restart, we recreate
Your present is your fate

Don't turn your backs on mankind!
Only yourselves you wanna save
Ignorance burns just like a fire
Consuming people on its flame

Fellow creatures, so wonderful!
So different and so grand

Sprouts of time
The roots evolving
The seeds for the future
were scattered yesterday
Tomorrow's harvest field we plant
today
Your crown will ever last
The tall trees of life

(Life experience)
Break your shell reach the light!
(Mind and sould)
Find your path to the skies
(Will come around on a thunder sound)
Raging with power and fury the new
born world

Sprouts of time
The roots evolving
The seeds from the past
branching out
Growing forever

Hands on heart
Embrace each other
The dances, the faces, the smiles
Behind the past

New seasons bring the chance
To start again
Tall trees will ever last
The circles of life

Dawning time
Lights a new beginning
On the shadows of your eyes
Hurts inside
Wounded heart is healing
After all you will survive

All the time I was lost in the desert
Counting what was left from the
Illusions in my mind
Hopeless fights
Foolish thoughts we were in heaven till we die, oh!
Death will bring us back where we belong
Now you must decide before the
Dawn is brightening up the day
Announcing in the sky the Morning Star

Nothing left to loose
I am going on my way tonight
(On my way and...)
Shouting to the moon
I'll be roaming till I find the Morning Star - Oh!!!
Another chance you waste
I'm the owner of my days
I'll be howling through the night till the end of time.

Look out!

All this time I was lost in the desert
Got to get away!
Now I must decide before the
Dawn is brightening up the day
Announcing in the sky the Morning Star!

Nothing left to loose
I am going on my way tonight
(On my way and...)
Silent like the moon
I will wonder till I find the Morning Star - Oh no!!!
Another chance you waste
Cause I'm going on my way tonight
(On my way and...)
Shouting to the stars
I'm the owner of my days
I'll be howling through the night till the end of time. Oh!
End of time!
Shouting to the stars!

You wasted all your chances
To find yourself lost and lonely
Were so foolish
You were selfish
Much too blind to realize
You messed up your own life...

Eu vou contando os dias
E ja, ja nao tenho medo
Eu lhe peco
Eu imploro
Quando a minha hora chegar
Meu descanso minha paz

Cante uma cancao desconhecida
Posioning with hope
the hearts around you
Plante mais lembrancas na sua vida
Death is calling you
(Now or never!)
Nada alem do amor e o que parece
Please the ones you love
before you miss'em
Toda a minha dor na minha prece
Win my chances back cause
Life is short but it's never late!

(Tempo que passou)
It's time to find Redemption
(Nao vai mais voltar)
Only love defies the Resurection
(Tudo que se foi)
Mark my words: God's abandoned this
world!

Would I live again?
What's the new religion? Yeah!
And what shall be the bread?
Really I don't give a damn!
never wanna live again
In this vain emotion
Over for me!

Sing a lullaby now I remember
(Tempo que se foi e nao se esquece mais)
Memories are twisting in my mind
Win my chances back
Cause life is short but it's never late

(Tempo que passou)
It's time to find Redemption
(Nao vai mais voltar)
Only love defies the resurrection
(Tudo que se foi)
Mark my words: God's abandoned this
world!
(Toda a minha dor)
My destiny is over
(Nunca vai voltar)
And this hope above your
comprehension
(Tempo que se foi)
Is the love you've been dreaming so
long
Over for me.
Nunca...
...tudo se acabou.

[... Life consuming lives to keep living. Ends for one, continues for all. The snake eats its tale. The cycle restarts...]
