Kamelot lyrics

Hoping someone may push these lyrics to the main page in the alphabetical list of artists... however that nortnally gets done, idk....

I've listened attentively to all the songs I list here and I believe the lyrics are as accurate as they can be. I do that because I find errors in almost every song lyric I find all over the Internet. Many of the lyrics posted on various lyrics sites are just inaccurate copies of each other. I try to improve on that.

Anthem
Album: Ghost Opera (2007)

What's the miracle if life itself is not?
Who am I to praise it's worth with a hymn?
I may stumble over words that I forgot
Just as life itself slowly begins

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

I'm 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 I read between the lines
And you will sing for me the way I sing 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

Memento Mori
Album: The Black Halo (2005)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNfEOwMZMmU

~*~

Who wants to separate
The world we know from our beliefs
And who sees only black and white
Distinguish loss from sacrifice
Some day we may come to peace
With the world within ourselves
And I will await you
Until I close my eyes

When your time has come
You know you'll be lonely once again
And the final winter comes to us all
Life is treacherous
But you're not the only who must pretend
We're a second in time
We're the last in the line
Of the prey that walks the earth
Good and evil combined

I am the god in my own history
(The master of the game)
I may believe if she would come to me
(And whisper out my name)
Sometimes I wonder where the wind has gone
(If life has ever been)
Sometimes I wonder how belief alone
(Can cut me free from sin)

When you close your eyes
Mementos of summer retrieves your mind
Like a drizzle afternoon cleans the air
When the winter blows
You're glad you remember you really tried

And it comes to an end
Even winter like fall
And we all have our beliefs
Pray for mercy for all

I am a man without a mystery
(The deal is done within)
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
(And pay for every sin)

[Helena]
Victoria, non praeda
Memento mori

[Mephisto]
Una voce... volo, non valeo
Pro patria mori
Memento mori

[Ariel]
So subservient in your embrace
No more denial
No run away
This is the final
My last recall
And that's the price for what we learn
The more we know the more we yearn
Cause we are so alone

I am a man without a mystery
(The deal is done within)
I will embrace the coldest winter breeze
(The journey can begin)
I'm still the god in my own history
I still believe that she will come to me
(And whisper out my name)

Some day we may come to peace
And reach beyond behind the lies

And I will await you
Until I close my eyes
Close my eyes....
Close my eyes

Moonlight
Album: Ghost Opera (2007)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI1_u4Qj8Yc

~*~

I have never craved the system's sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles
Some precaution wouldn't harm my history
If I had the will to wait a little while

You cut the silence like a knife
You know I can't repent for all...

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Compensation for the misconducted life
Is it way too much to ask
Hard to wake up
With your heart and soul deprived
When the morning comes
The second to your last

You cut the silence like a knife
At the edge of my last defenses
You cut the silence like a knife
You know I won't repent for all

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Shine on silver from the sky into the night
Gaia shivers and I need your leading light

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

Season's End
Album: Ghost Opera (2007)

~*~

Once in my life
A second of eternity
Seems long in my mind
What used to be
Keeps changing over time
Don't go
Please don't say it's over
'Til it is

Don't say goodbye
Like we'd never meet again
Leave me a lie
At the season's end...

Moments in time
Seems to be so long
In my old mind
My images of May
You gave me a sign
I took the chance
Of never looking back
I hope you understand

Don't say goodbye
Like we'd never meet again
Leave me a lie
At the season's end
Come lift the light
Into heaven with a song
Don't say goodbye
'Cause it's been so long

It's been so long
It's been so long

You gave me a sign
I took a chance
By never looking back
I hope you understand

I hope you don't say goodbye
Like we'd never meet again
(Say goodbye...)
Leave me a lie
At the season's end
(Season's end)
Come lift the light
Into heaven with a song
(With a song)
Don't say goodbye
'Cause it's been so long

It's been so long
So long

Providence
Album: Siége Perilous (1998)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWFDwL0aF34

~*~

Here
I stand before you all
This body's been beaten and battered
But I will not fall
Time
It may change me
As I look back upon this cold life
I see nothing but misery

Push me
Pull me
I will not turn away
All this
Pain will
Prove fruitful one day
You'll see

As I stand I see legions before me
They drink and they dance in the night
Without thinking I unsheathe my sword
My body is ready to fight
I walk into the fire
They say that I've sunk so low
But my goal lies much higher

I will
Not lie
Down in the grave
If they
Want me
I'm not afraid

Tempting Providence once again
I fall to my knees and my hands
(Tempting providence)
When will this madness end
You made me the man that I am...

Now
That I am old and wise
The fire has dimmed to a wisp
But I'm still alive
Oh-oh-oh-oh
The end is much closer
I never thought I'd see the day
When it would be over

Hold me
Tell me
Today is the day
All this
Pain will
Soon go away

Tempting Providence once again
I fall to my knees and my hands
When will this nightmare end
Tempting Providence once again
This nightmare
Will soon reach its end
