DELAIN LYRICS

1. Hideaway Paradise

I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge
I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge

Feel the tension build
Before the lightning strikes and thunder sounds
Faint echoes call me down
Whispering they call me down

There's a place in my mind
Where you can't sow your blight
Where nothing flows on but the ether
And the cares of the world become weightless
And I always hear the call

Let the world keep turning above me
Voices broken in the dark
As the storm is raging above me
Let me hide away here on my own

Hideaway paradise

Feel the distance grow
Between two hearts that lose touch in the crowd
The storm is bearing down
Whispered echoes call me down

There's a place deep within
Where you can't enter in
A place that is mine, my own shelter
Where the storm and the crowd become noiseless
And I always feel the call

Let the world keep turning above me
Voices broken in the dark
As the storm is raging above me
Here you won't ever control

Let the world keep turning above me
Voices broken in the dark
As the storm is raging above me
Let me hide away here on my own

I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge
I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge

Hideaway paradise

Let the world keep turning above me
Voices broken in the dark
As the storm is raging above me
Let me hide away here on my own

Hideaway paradise
Hideaway paradise

2. The Quest And The Curse

Searching the skies, wonder why
So afraid I'll never know
Wasting away here on the ground longing to soar up to great heights
The beast that preys upon me
Casting my eyes down

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

Reject, revoke, deny your own blame
I will now justify all you do
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you

Hearts hunger for something more
Frightened by ghosts of our own creation
When we suffocate the aspirations that we scorn
The monster hunting me down
Will pull me under

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

I am despair, your dread, your fear, shame
I am the parasite deep in you
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you

How can I find the second star to the right?
I fear that I've forgotten how to fly
I face my greatest enemy within
Fear of falling my lullaby

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It's the quest and the curse of us all

3. Beneath

[feat. Paolo Ribaldini]

I have returned from down under
I've learned to breathe beneath the waters
I've returned to the light

Beyond the waves of madness
Around my neck a stone tied
Enduring crushing darkness
Starless void of ageless night
Visions that none can utter
Bound to the demons of the sea
Till I became the hunter
Dark dreams ever so far beneath

Damned to descend and discover
What dies down beneath never slumbers
I've returned to the light

Beyond the waves of madness
Around my neck a stone tied
Enduring crushing darkness
Starless void of ageless night
Visions that none can utter
Bound to the demons of the sea
Till I became the hunter
Dark dreams ever so far beneath

So far beneath

Beyond the waves of madness
Around my neck a stone tied
Enduring crushing darkness
Starless void of ageless night
Visions that none can utter
Bound to the demons of the sea
Till I became the hunter
Dark dreams ever so far beneath

So far beneath

4. Mirror Of Night

Looking behind, diverging roads I've wandered
I can see turns unheeded
Gazing through eyes within these dark reflections
Facing a time long gone now

It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times
I should have spoken other lines
In the middle of the night I hear
The dying dreams I never reached
But I cannot travel back now
Roads I've come down
Reality is staring back at me

Eternalized are words already spoken
I can't erase or change now
Hyperbolized these thoughts running unfettered
I cannot tame or cage them

It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times
I should have spoken other lines
In the middle of the night I hear
The dying dreams I never reached
But I cannot travel back now
Roads I've come down
Reality is staring back at me

The mirror of night it swallows me
Must leave behind to be set free

It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times
I should have spoken other lines

It's the quiet of the night I fear
The inner torrent that's unleashed
Replaying me the thousand times
I should have spoken other lines
In the middle of the night I hear
The dying dreams I never reached
But I know these dark reflections
Can change nothing
Reality is staring back at me

5. Tainted Hearts

You chose to walk the road less traveled
Unchained but blamed for the stories we unraveled

But where do we find the answers?
How can we keep it safe
Against our own will?
No fear for the blind cause time is all we have

We could escape now
We could live forever
Don't play with our tainted hearts
Don't ask us where we're going
The kingdom you've torn down
I swear to you now, will be rebuilt larger
Than the one you chose to destroy now

We fight alone an unclear battle
On holy grounds acclaimed but always shattered

Where can we find the answers?
How can we face defeat
Against our own will?
We can't get behind cause time is all we have

We could escape now
We could live forever
Don't play with our tainted hearts
Don't ask us where we're going
The kingdom you've torn down
I swear to you now, will be rebuilt larger
Than the one you chose to destroy now

We could escape now
We could live forever
Don't play with our tainted hearts
Don't ask us where we're going
The kingdom you've torn down
I swear to you now, will be rebuilt larger
Than the one you chose to destroy now

6. The Cold

Frozen winter moonlight
Fading pages cold
Stars must fall to unbind
Story's end untold

It's the story of our time
And the winter that settled over us
In a book with loose pages
Oh don't slip away
I need you to stay forever mine

I'm awaiting the sunrise
To awaken my frozen heart for you
But the dead of the night deepens the cold

Frozen winter moonlight
Fading pages cold
Stars must fall to unbind
Story's end untold

It's a story of moonlight
And the glimmer of ice that captured us
With the daylight forsaken
Please undo the chains
We can't slowly fade into the night

I'm awaiting the sunrise
To awaken my frozen heart for you
But the dead of the night deepens the cold
Frozen dreams of the sunrise
Can't awaken a warm side of the moon
And the dead of the night deepens the cold

Fading pictures on the wall
Cannot warm us anymore

I'm awaiting the sunrise
To awaken my frozen heart for you
But the dead of the night deepens the cold
Frozen dreams of the sunrise
Can't awaken a warm side of the moon
And the dead of the night deepens the cold

Frozen winter moonlight
Fading pages cold
Stars must fall to unbind
Story's end untold

7. Moth To A Flame

[feat. Paolo Ribaldini]

You're the cure for this lonely heart
Lying underneath, you keep on hiding
And like a moth to a candle I
Run within the flames of your dangerous mind, burning bright

Why do you look at me that way, you know we're worlds apart
There's no denying, though I've tried, you're like a perilous spark

I'm bound to catch fire on my way to transcend
Let this be the end of my cries

You're the cure for this lonely heart
Lying underneath, you keep on hiding
And like a moth to a candle I
Run within the flames of your dangerous mind, burning bright

How can I free myself from hiding behind blurry eyes
It's like a circle, you're the reason I'm spinning so blind

I'm bound to catch fire on my way to transcend
Let this be the end of my cries

You're the cure for this lonely heart
Lying underneath, you keep on hiding
And like a moth to a candle I
Run within the flames of your dangerous mind, burning bright

Dangerous mind
I'm on my way to transcend now
I'm on my way to transcend now
Let this be the end of my cries now

I'm bound to catch fire on my way to transcend
Let this be the end of my cries

You're the cure for this lonely heart
Lying underneath, you keep on hiding
And like a moth to a candle I
Run within the flames of your dangerous mind, burning bright

You're the cure for this lonely heart
Lying underneath, you keep on hiding
And like a moth to a candle I
Run within the flames of your dangerous mind, burning bright

You're the cure for this lonely heart

8. Queen Of Shadow

[feat. Paolo Ribaldini]

Grief of yesterday
Wrapping me so tightly in the darkness
Crowning me in flame
Never drown

The river running in the underworld
It never drowns the queen of mourning
Embracing pain of sorrow ill-deserved
I know you will never understand it

All the chaos of your dreams
Cast it away to rule over the darkness
Shadows to enslave
Under your reign

You want to get inside my head
You want to see the queen of shadow
Into the flood of dark you can't descend
Never drown

Bearing a light you're pushing through
Setting the shadows loose
Leave me to the undertide
Never drown

All the chaos of your dreams
Cast it away to rule over the darkness
Shadows to enslave
Under your reign
Never drown

All the chaos of your dreams
Cast it away to rule over the darkness
Shadows to enslave
Never to escape

All the chaos of your dreams
Cast it away to rule over the darkness
Shadows to enslave
Under your reign

9. Invictus

[feat. Marko Hietala & Paolo Ribaldini]

Deceitful cries under the sun to crucify
What have you done?
I will not fight your shameful war
Or spread more lies
But I must stand my ground
Invictus I remain

You're heading towards your own destruction
You're heading towards your own destruction

But what is gained by a war of pride and greed?
Debris of your failed siege
What you're fighting for you've made a field
Of embers and barbarity

And what remains in the wake of enmity?
Destruction six feet deep
You can never take what I've achieved, never
You'll be buried a nameless thief

You mutineers you've made a scene
Now face your empty new frontier justice
You should have learned your end is near
Do you feel it?
You mutineers you've made a scene
Now face your empty new frontier justice
You should have learned your end is near
Do you feel it burn?

(You said)
We are now the cruel collective faction
Bow down or face destruction

And what remains in the wake of enmity
Destruction six feet deep
You can never take what I've achieved, never
You'll be buried a nameless thief

You mutineers you've made a scene
Now face your empty new frontier justice
You should have learned your end is near
Do you feel it burn?

I'm gonna watch your fire burn your eyes
I'm gonna stand in truth you can't deny
You crowned a fool, now bear your shame
I will not condescend to bow before your claim
Not this time, this is your last goodbye

Bearing the wounds you've given me
Knowing they're worth the victory
Holding, always standing my ground
Losing your pride and dignity
Screaming your rage and treachery
Waging this war of misery now

Invictus maneo
Perge ad victoriam
Undaunted, in the end I'll be standing no more sorrow
I'm watching far below
Soaring pride is your downfall
Your cunning collective, fierce today but gone tomorrow

10. Underland

Watch out in your emotion
Throw down all your stones
Keep out far from Underland
Don't fall down again

Don't fall into madness
Don't follow the black rabbit
Don't go down that hole now
Nothing can erase the fallout
Down below devils pray
And angels curse holy ways
Upside down, inside out
Nothing right or sane can be found

You can rage, you can fight, storm the gates of hell
By your anger you'll be swallowed
Lose yourself in the fray of a red-lit haze
And awaken shame and sorrow

Can't hide from your damnation
Your crimes are your own
Black eyes watch from Underland
To drag you down again

Don't fall into madness
Don't follow the black rabbit
Don't go down that hole now
Nothing can erase the fallout
Down below devils pray
And angels curse holy ways
Upside down, inside out
Nothing right or sane can be found

You can rage, you can fight, storm the gates of hell
By your anger you'll be swallowed
Lose yourself in the fray of a red-lit haze
And awaken shame and sorrow

High toll, below
For you will pay what you owe
Shame and sorrow
For you will reap what you sow

Don't fall, don't fall down that hole again
For you will break more than you can mend
Rise up above the fell haze of red
Laying that deadly nature to rest

You can rage, you can fight, storm the gates of hell
By your anger you'll be swallowed
Lose yourself in the fray of a red-lit haze
And awaken shame and sorrow
