Lyrics:
I’m alone, anguish wounds my soul
As if death coming to my door
A single step can give me final clue
Now you’re my foe, I don’t know what I should do
What should I do?
One old sage said I'd wander long
Lonesome way through the thunderstorm
As he had felt sorrow in my way
The door is closed; rain will wash your trace away
It goes your way
Pure and holy light ray’s
All that was old days
What was on my long way’s
Blind and greedy fate
My cross is my long way
Through the pain and sorrow -
Wasteland of tomorrow
As if I am cursed
Your soft voice still lives in my soul
Days and nights I can hear your call
I beg for you, let me go away
But I see you from beyond of window pane
You’re here again
Pure and holy light ray’s
All that was old days
What was on my long way’s
Blind and greedy fate
My cross is my long way
Through the pain and sorrow -
Wasteland of tomorrow
As if I am cursed
I had a dream
That you came in
And gave me all your love and warmth
It eased my pain
And fear has left my soul
But door is closed
Fear’s like a ghost
Still haunts me that I’m doomed and cursed
It hurts my soul
Like death that comes too close
Death’s at my doors
Pure and holy light ray’s ...
What was on my long way’s ...
Pure and holy light ray’s ...
My cross is my long way ...
Pure and holy light ray’s
All that was old days
What was on my long way’s
Blind and greedy fate
My cross is my long way

"I'm Here"
Lyrics:
The surface of the sea is so infinite,
Just like my solitude.
I cannot run away from myself here,
Neither can I fall asleep.
This life has no new shores,
And the wind is tearing the rest of the sails.
I touched your dreams,
And sinister was this moment.
The world which is open for two
Was slipping away like the sand between my fingers.
We were going to meet
And were hastening our paces,
But we went through
And didn't recognize each other…
Chorus.
I'm here,
Where the light and the peace are freezing,
I'm here again,
I'm hearing your name.
The forgotten voice is flying
From the eternity of the ages
To fall down like the cold flame from the night sky.
I thought that time would erase your vestige
And didn't try to rivet your eyes in the crowd.
I sought the answer in another's embrace
And didn't seek the way back…
Forgetting everything, I started the life again
But I could see the emptiness of the surface of the sea.
Just like my solitude.
I cannot run away from myself here,
Neither can I fall asleep.
This life has no new shores,
And the wind is tearing the rest of the sails.
I touched your dreams,
And sinister was this moment.
The world which is open for two
Was slipping away like the sand between my fingers.
We were going to meet
And were hastening our paces,
But we went through
And didn't recognize each other…
Chorus.
I'm here,
Where the light and the peace are freezing,
I'm here again,
I'm hearing your name.
The forgotten voice is flying
From the eternity of the ages
To fall down like the cold flame from the night sky.
I thought that time would erase your vestige
And didn't try to rivet your eyes in the crowd.
I sought the answer in another's embrace
And didn't seek the way back…
Forgetting everything, I started the life again
But I could see the emptiness of the surface of the sea.

"No One"
Lyrics:
I know that no-one can help you and me
No-one has such a word to say aloud
Oh, for the night to stop lamenting over us
To free our hearts from prison of this sound
I know that no-one can help you and me...
I know that no-one can face you and me
Nobody wants to see the sorrow endless
Oh, we're more frail than any glass could ever be
While they thought we were made of hardened heavy metal
I know that no-one can face you and me...
Chorus:
No-one in all the universe can help
No-one in all the universe can save us
I bow before you, thanking you for all you've done
Thank you for all you've done, but still...
I know that no-one can stop you and me
We've cast about and gathered all the stones
No need for songs and praises for eternal love
No enemy, no friend, nobody really knows it
I know that no-one can stop you and me...
Chorus.

"The Light Of Bygone Love"
Lyrics:
The Light of Bygone Love
The world is empty, the night is so dark
And the clouds are floating by.
My sorrow and my grief will spark
With tears in your eyes.
Life and death are so evanescent,
Only pain is eternity…
I’ll return to you as rain,
I will resurrect as morning gale,
I will cast the silver snow in handfuls to your feet.
I’ll return to you as light,
I’ll reborn as rainbow in the skies,
I will blow off light of bygone love with breath of wind.
Shades of moon will cover my wounds,
Turn my blood into the stones,
And fade away, and leave me alone
To die amidst the snows.
Wish I could to start my life again,
But all I can is put an end to it…
The light of bygone love at the end of path
My soul flies on it like a moth.
My body is bound with deadly cold as with hundreds of chains.
Like a soldier in a foreign land
I tried my fortune but didn’t stand.
Oh, such a fool! Death cries after me again and again.
The world is empty, the night is so dark
And the clouds are floating by.
My sorrow and my grief will spark
With tears in your eyes.
Life and death are so evanescent,
Only pain is eternity…
I’ll return to you as rain,
I will resurrect as morning gale,
I will cast the silver snow in handfuls to your feet.
I’ll return to you as light,
I’ll reborn as rainbow in the skies,
I will blow off light of bygone love with breath of wind.
Shades of moon will cover my wounds,
Turn my blood into the stones,
And fade away, and leave me alone
To die amidst the snows.
Wish I could to start my life again,
But all I can is put an end to it…
The light of bygone love at the end of path
My soul flies on it like a moth.
My body is bound with deadly cold as with hundreds of chains.
Like a soldier in a foreign land
I tried my fortune but didn’t stand.
Oh, such a fool! Death cries after me again and again.
"There, Up High"
Lyrics:
Not a witch nor a sorceress
It came to me in my house
Not at the time of the full moon
But on a clear summer's day
Usually at dawn
I come in sleep
But it is all wrong this time
It said to me
Fatigue, hatred and pain
The dark fear of madness.
You hold the entire hell on earth
Like the sky, on your shoulders!
Any of you is crazy -
In love and war
But in life there is no sound for stopping -
It said to me
Chorus:
There, up high, there is no one
It is lonely there too, as well as here.
There, up high, there is the scurrying of clouds
To a star that faded many years ago
While you are alive, do not die
Look at this world -
For many here, their soul is dead
They are dead inside!
But they walk and they laugh
Not knowing that they do not exist.
Do not hurry your time of death -
It said to me
{Chorus}
It is possible to run away from life
From death – never.
Life will furl its wings by itself
And I will return here
Not a witch nor a sorceress
It came to me in my house.
On a summer's day
Death stopped by casually to have a drink of water
{Chorus} x 2
It came to me in my house
Not at the time of the full moon
But on a clear summer's day
Usually at dawn
I come in sleep
But it is all wrong this time
It said to me
Fatigue, hatred and pain
The dark fear of madness.
You hold the entire hell on earth
Like the sky, on your shoulders!
Any of you is crazy -
In love and war
But in life there is no sound for stopping -
It said to me
Chorus:
There, up high, there is no one
It is lonely there too, as well as here.
There, up high, there is the scurrying of clouds
To a star that faded many years ago
While you are alive, do not die
Look at this world -
For many here, their soul is dead
They are dead inside!
But they walk and they laugh
Not knowing that they do not exist.
Do not hurry your time of death -
It said to me
{Chorus}
It is possible to run away from life
From death – never.
Life will furl its wings by itself
And I will return here
Not a witch nor a sorceress
It came to me in my house.

Death stopped by casually to have a drink of water

Going old school seein' Sox and MP POACHED two of my favorites already...
U...F...O... "Love to Love" the live track off Strangers in the Night, I literally wore this one out on my old vinyl copy.
They used to say that Chicago's Colour My World had the longest intro of any song (almost 1 minute), but Love To Love has a much longer one (2:45). Not to mention an "outro" that's almost a minute long.
I consider this a metal "ballad", and it has the least amount of growling vocals of any Amaranthe song.
Amaranthine
Plus, Elize is the most beautiful woman on the planet.

Avoiding The Swan Song
Deep Purple "Wasted Sunsets"
Ozzy "Dreamer"

This is one of my all time favourite metal ballads, I absolutely adore it.
Judas Priest - Blood Red Skies
And when we went to see Priest last year they did it - I was in raptures
Another favourite:
Pain of Salvation - Ashes
and
Scorpions do some excellent ballads, hard to choose a favourite one, but this is up there:
Still Loving You

"Seven Circles Of Hell"
Lyrics:
"Seven Circles Of Hell"
Lyrics:
Come in, come in, anguish,
I'm ready to endure this pain.
The black river pulls me into the maelstrom -
Try to argue with destiny...
That's all - it's the end of the way
Is left to do only one step.
At the moment, when depression compresses the chest
Even death is a trifle.
Seven Circles, Seven Circles of Hell
I drank the whole bowl to the bottom, to the bottom.
Mortal sin will destroy life,
But my God, it's not your fault.
