Symphony X - Swansong Lyrics






I stand alone
As my world comes crashing down
Some things are never meant to be
Accept your fate cause there's no second-time around
"It's not the stars or sky that shapes our destiny"

Just a fateful glance
Just a fleeting chance in the wind
Gone forevermore

Hear my song, carry on
Through the lost and lonely air
Still I sing, can it bring
All the things that I desire?
With you, I wouldn't change a thing
Just for you, I'd do most anything
But now you're gone
And my swan song echoes on

I walk alone, like a stranger in this town
Is it best to fail or never try at all?
I face the shadows, as the sun is sinking down
"Some rise by sin - and some by virtue fall"

Just a fateful glance
Just a fleeting chance in the wind
Gone forevermore

Hear my song, carry on
Through the lost and lonely air
Still I sing, can it bring
All the things that I desire?
With you, I wouldn't change a thing
Just for you, I'd do most anything
But now you're gone
And my swan song echoes on

Goddess of shadowy play
Whose boundless power, divides the night from the day
Plains of woe, eclipsed from all sight
And wrapped forever in the darkest depths of night

Hear my song, carry on
Through the lost and lonely air
Still I sing, can it bring
All the things that I desire?
With you, I wouldn't change a thing
Just for you, I'd do most anything
But now you're gone
And my swan song echoes on

  31. m.... ....

    i love this song

  32. P.... C....

    another awesome song from the progressive metal masters!!

  33. N.... ....

    Anyone else thinks that Russel sounds kinda like Tony Kakko in this song?

    N.... ....

    I thought that what the hell are you thinking about. How can Russell ever sound like Kakko. Then I decided to give you a shot and listened with a good will. And indeed, for example at 1:56 I found Kakko there.😀

    N.... ....

    +NiggeliNG Huge Sonata Arctica fan, and I'm just not hearing it, outside of maybe one or two phrases.

    N.... ....

    +Daniel Furr 0:24 for example.

  34. M.... M....

    The best song they did in years... and it's Michael Pinella's name that is mentioned first.... This doesn't surprise me... He writes softer, more progressive and symphonic songs

    M.... M....

    i totally agree

    M.... M....

    Mike's a beast. I feel that due to the company they are working through now, their music has been kinda stripped down to be a bit more mainstream, yet is still a million miles from-- Iconaclast in terms of skill and the previous albums were just beyond the caliber of most music. Still phenomenal musicians.

  35. M.... P....

    6:45 is one of the best musical experiences I've ever had. The "duell" between the vocals and the guitar is just amazing! All in all an incredible song of a very good Album. I really look forward seeing them live in Ludwigsburg!

    M.... P....

    @Hells Guardian
    Wow that's great to hear! :) I hope you had a blast at the concert, I surely had!

    M.... P....

    +Marco Philipp Yep, best concert ever, just 5m away from the stage.

    M.... P....

    From 6.12' it starts giving goosebumps that compination with high point at 6.23'( Romeo solo )

    M.... P....

    Andromeda's "Inner Circle" - best duel I've ever heard. Guitar vs Keyboard, it will blow your soul.

    M.... P....

    It's f*ing amazing how this MoFo sings that well live. Watched them in 2016 here in Brazil. Just amazing.

  36. F.... C....

    Awesome! The whole album is great! Can't wait the south america tour dates!

  37. R.... R....

    3:11 "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?" :)

    R.... R....

    No, I was just there.

  38. K.... S....

    Great song, but should be titled Accolade III

    K.... S....

    Indeed, the style is similar.

    K.... S....

    Great song, one of the best since 2007 - but not worthy of the Accolade III title imo :D

  39. N.... M....

    I love this song. shortest intro from a SX ballad

  40. J.... L....

    My Song☆

  41. J.... S....

    Excellent!

  42. e.... ....

    Certainly some of Romeo's most emotive playing.....really selling it. Always technically amazing but I like that this album gives the music a little room to breathe.....still extremely powerful...but in a slightly different way.

    e.... ....

    This album is below several others, but in this song they managed to maintain the same quality of songs contained in the albums Divine Wings of Tragedy, V, The Odyssey, Paradise Lost.

  43. M.... M....

    beautiful song, symphony x the best

  44. Z.... ....

    My favorite song off this album. Took me a while to get used to it but I love it now.

    Z.... ....

    +ZFlyingVLover Outro is vaguely "Comfortably numbish" feel to it.

    Z.... ....

    +ZFlyingVLover I don't like this album, but this song is a gem. Absolutely fantastic.

    Z.... ....

    same here:) Cheers bro.

  45. T.... ....

    Great as always
