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
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

These guys are so fucking great. Every band member kills it.
I face the shadows as the SUUUUN is sinking doooown - fkn LOVE IT
They all are exceptional musicians, but Ser Russell is on totally different level, he is absolutely the best voice ever
Sure he is.
Can anybody understand what does he said in 4:04 ?
соло настолько писдато, что .... лучше не слыхал

This Lyric!!!!
esta es la música mas arrecha que yo he escuchado en toda mi vida.
kd os brazucas nessa porra!?
Aqui!!!

É o que?kkkkkkkkkkkk
To be honest, this one is not as good as their other slow songs in some previous albums, but still a masterpiece anyhow.
reminds me "accolade". anyway, sounds great, coz this is Symphony Fucking X!
Start like Paradise Lost D:
sheer beauty.
Los amo demasiado!
My Oh My. Russell Allen what a Voice!!!
Front row with my 14 years old son,
I'll never forget the gig in Holland at 'de Boerderij' really magnificent!!!
This.... This is just amazing... wauw...
I would like to see the snout of the stupid disliked this song.
I love minor chords
3:47 the best riff

put the tablature of guitar pro 5 the music sawn song the band symphony x because we still do not have on the site is a exelente music thank you
i love this song
another awesome song from the progressive metal masters!!
Anyone else thinks that Russel sounds kinda like Tony Kakko in this song?
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.😀
+NiggeliNG Huge Sonata Arctica fan, and I'm just not hearing it, outside of maybe one or two phrases.
+Daniel Furr 0:24 for example.
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
i totally agree
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.
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!
@Hells Guardian
Wow that's great to hear! :) I hope you had a blast at the concert, I surely had!
+Marco Philipp Yep, best concert ever, just 5m away from the stage.
From 6.12' it starts giving goosebumps that compination with high point at 6.23'( Romeo solo )
Andromeda's "Inner Circle" - best duel I've ever heard. Guitar vs Keyboard, it will blow your soul.
It's f*ing amazing how this MoFo sings that well live. Watched them in 2016 here in Brazil. Just amazing.
Awesome! The whole album is great! Can't wait the south america tour dates!
3:11 "Are you going to Scarborough Fair?" :)
No, I was just there.
Great song, but should be titled Accolade III
Indeed, the style is similar.
Great song, one of the best since 2007 - but not worthy of the Accolade III title imo :D
I love this song. shortest intro from a SX ballad
My Song☆
Excellent!
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.
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.
beautiful song, symphony x the best
My favorite song off this album. Took me a while to get used to it but I love it now.
+ZFlyingVLover Outro is vaguely "Comfortably numbish" feel to it.
+ZFlyingVLover I don't like this album, but this song is a gem. Absolutely fantastic.
same here:) Cheers bro.
Great as always
