Symphony X-Paradise Lost [HQ-Lyrics]

[theMAdPumpkin76]

Looking down from ethereal skies

Silent crystalline tears I cry

For all must say their last goodbye -

to Paradise

[Dungarth]

..When the solar flares from the sun destroy the Earth in 2013 I will listen to this.

[alevd14]

Watch my top 15 of symphony x songs please!!

[opethslipknothells]

thumps up if you feel awesome after hearing this

[GwresYnKernow]

Just to be pedantic, it's "so I'll savour the downfall of paradise", not "now I'll savour...". ¬_¬

[ScottRocksDamnit]

Best song on the album, Deserving to be the title track. Fantastic!!! \m/(^_^)\m/

[EmoZero0]

thumbs up if you hate it when people put the lyrics to a song in the description

[toolfan92]

@EmoZero0 i dont hate it, its actually better if you are singing along.

[FahadOrfali1993]

@EmoZero0 why would you hate it??

[Adder233]

Amazing...perfectly fills empty spaces around me...

[virusH3k]

good....very nice song

[AngrySylvest]

If I'm not mistaken it's "Solid crystalline tears I cry." I could be wrong though.

[katinkers]

i listened to symphony x alot as a teen but i've since learned to like other genres and styles. revisiting all my old prog metal, most of it is too obnoxious for me to stomach for too long. regardless of genre or taste though, this is one of those gems, & symphony x one of those bands that has too many good moments in writing to throw into the give away pile. beautiful song, beautifully written

[Actar411]

Going to see them tonight! Can't wait!

[LordAssortedBits]

Great song, too bad the album was a disappointment to me after the Odyssey.

[geckoslick]

@6ArchEnemy6 I also just saw them at the Power of Metal tour in Lyon--best song of the night! Russell Allen really seemed to enjoy the audience too.

[6ArchEnemy6]

Man, I saw them live yesterday at Power of Metal tour, they played this song, too...

The part from 4:50 on was so damn breathtaking.

[itospuf]

just marvellous. Doesn't matter the kind of music you like; if you find emotion in it, it will rock you. Apart from that, Symphony X are really impressive :))

[sensoccer7]

i love this goth music..

[3onamatch]

Take my hand - divine or damned

that has got to be one of the best lines ive ever heard.

[patolynx]

qué hace Jens Johansson en el 3:10??? Supongo que el que subió el video debe saber que él es de Stratovarius y Michel Pinnella es de Symphony X

[TheRealPolloPawer]

@patolynx lee la explicación que di.

[PearlDrumsAllDay94]

The lyrics in this song almost seem like they are trying to depict the story of Adam and Eve. These people are in a perfect paradise but when they find out about the seven deadly sins the paradise begins to fall. Love, Pride and desire are all mentioned in the song and are all seven deadly sins. The chorus almost seems like a depiction of god watching down on them and eventually taking away their paradise. A serpent is mentioned in the song as well.

[lovepetrelli]

To anyone who has read Incarceron here... The lyrics of this song depict the story so well it's actually a little scary...

[stiltonchees]

@lovepetrelli I thought the lyrics were about John Milton's Paradise lost? Or am I just being dumb and the Incarceron is the same thing?

[MichaelLepond]

what does Jens Johanson has to do here??? 3:19???

[TheRealPolloPawer]

Well i think you guys deserve an explanation on the Jens picture: when I made this vid i had just recently started listening to symphony x, so i looked for pics on the web and i found that one and thought it looked cool, so i left it on the vid without knowing it wasnt a member of symphony x...my apologies for any inconvenience caused guys...

[ktuluag]

@TheRealPolloPawer Yeah it caused me a huge inconvenience, it ruined my entire day. I felt like killing myself.

[ibyabyg]

This song is the definition of beauty. However Jens Johansson's picture is something else.

[SuperAnaj]

Pure the beauty!

[probatos1]

this song doesnt exist!!!! after all these years I couldnt believe that I would add this classic to my best songs list!!! music...emotion...poetry...it has everything.

Their best song

[JMusicAson]

How can people dislike this stuff?

[chetofobico]

@JMusicAson 3 beliebers....

[shadowfootball1]

@IronMadness821 Should we care...

[ellinasethnikos]

how can this guy Romeo creates such melody always??

[stiltonchees]

If there was a "Greatest guitar solos in hisory" list it'd have to be pretty long, because every one of Michael Romeo's solos would have to be in it. But... why'd you cut out the fade prematurely? It kills the mood... also what's Jens Johansson doing there? I mean he is awesome... but also not in the band.

[Spleeni]

What's with the pic of Jens Johansson? :P

[JesterIF]

now I'll savor the downfall... i'm pretty sure it's so I'll savor the downfall, I just listened to the song

[ZachValkyrie]

That chorus chokes me up every time;

So epic, so tragic, so unbelievably beautiful!

[XxQCGHxX]

@ZachValkyrie My thought exactly

[1kolesar]

the best song from this album!! wonderful!

[cassiolemes]

Jens Johanssom = Stratovarius

Michael Pinella = Symphony X

O amigo errou feio em...

[CicadaKillerMan]

Who the heck is the guy at 3:10?

[Mandilore]

@CicadaKillerMan Jens Johannson of Stratovarius(also brother of Anders Johannson from Hammerfall)

[gargoloth]

Buddy, you got the wrong lyrics. You should look them up. But yeah, I agree. It's a fantastic song!!!
