Stratovarius - Elysium Lyrics

[Lyrics By Matias Kupiainen and Timo Kotipelto. Music by Matias Kupiainen]

[Part 1]

I've never felt like this before
Am I awake? Am I drifting?
There's a hole in the sky
Am I alive? Did I survive?

Broken pictures on my wall
A story of fallen heroes
Now stare ahead with their blind eyes on
A lost horizon

Sometimes the dream is sublime with you
I fear in my mind that ever
I'm reaching this feeling
It's misleading me away from you
Tonight, I find what I've been searching for
To go look for my wings once more

I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore

[Solo - Matias / Jens]

Sometimes the dream is sublime with you
I fear in my mind that ever

I'm reaching this feeling
It's misleading me away from you
Tonight, I find what I've been searching for
To go look for my wings once more

I'm not afraid anymore
I am ready to fall
I'm not afraid anymore

[Part 2]

I am lying on the frozen ground alone
I got lost on my way, my time is up
I'm gone

I need to find the key
To eternal life and see
The joy, the smile,
The overwhelming love of God
Is what I need

Give me a sign, and shoe me the way
To the sacred place

I can hear you calling my name
From the distant skies
I am holding a falling angel
In my arms

Your shadow lurking in the corner of my eye
I'm losing sense of what's real
and what's a lie

I need to find the key
To eternal life and see
The joy, the smile,
The overwhelming love of God
Is what I need

Give me a sign, and shoe me the way
To the sacred place

I can hear you calling my name
From the distant skies
I am holding a falling angel
In my arms

Eternal calling at your fame was not mine
Melody this falling lie

I feel it burning with me ahead
The earth is turning to red
I'm staring at the flaming skies
To not have to fight
A chance goes right by

[Solo - Jens / Matias / Duet]

I can hear you calling my name
From the distant skies
I am holding a falling angel
In my arms

I am holding a falling angel
in my arms

[Part 3]

This life has been too long
There's hope everywhere I go

Do you believe in hope and faith
Or eternity?
In the end, you will see
Let this soul be free

Eternal light
Brain dead, my eyes

Pain and sorrow
Joy will follow
Now in turn
Elysium

[Solo - Jens]

Do you believe in hope and faith
Or eternity?
In the end, you will see
Let your soul be free

Be afraid no more,
Just take my hand,
I'll guide you through the storm
We're finally home

Do you believe in hope and faith
Or eternity?
In the end, you will see
Let your soul be free

Be afraid no more,
Just take my hand,
I'll guide you through the storm
We're finally home

We'll be home

[Solo - Matias]
