welcome to dying

1991 çıkışlı blind guardian'ın kanımca en güzel albümü olan tales from the twilight world albümünden harika bir parça. iced earth'ün kurucularından jon schaffer'ın da en sevdiği blind guardian parçasıdır ayrıca.


close to insanity
beond the realms i've been
at darkest places
i'm crying
"the dragon flies"
(lead: andré)

something savage
is yearning for me
i'm waiting afraid for the night
what will be
i've lost myself
a few days ago
it's touching my soul
and a vision of past dreams comes true

ref.: welcome to dying
i don't let it out
welcome to dying
look to the mirror it shows what i am
welcome to dying
this town must burn now
welcome to dying
can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me

the one who's been before
many times i terrorized this town
many times and here i start again
now i'm stronger and so cold
cold as ice
returning is my destiny
now i feel it's growing up in me
now i feel it's burning deep in me
i'm not what i was before
could i stop this dream
i'm a stranger to myself
and i cannot control

ref.: welcome to dying
i don't let it out
welcome to dying
look to the mirror it shows what i am
welcome to dying
can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
welcome to dying
the dragon's breath i don't let it out
(solo: andré)

i'm a savage
it's too late for me
the other side's taking controll and i know
there's one way i can walk alone
or the dragon will fly
and a growing fear's all that i feel

ref.: welcome... (rep. 1st ref.)

welcome to dying (6x)
can't you see the dragon's seed bears in me
(lead: andré)

spread my wings and fly away
i spread my wings and fly away
i spread my wings and fly away

muhteşem ama lafta kalır şekilde muhteşem olmayan, özlenen ve sürekli dinlenen onslaught şarkısı. 1989 albümleri in search of sanity'den.

sözleri:

as time slips by
i awaken from my sleep
too blind to see
that tomorrow's just a dream
i fear no pain
as i reach toward the sky
immortal words
was i really born to die

my destiny
please release me from this hell
i'm locked inside
cannot break the broken spell

welcome to dying
welcome to dying
now say your last goodbyes

the darkness dies
but the dawn it brings no light
in life or death
our existence is a fight
in sight of end
let me die leave me in peace
a slave to life
break the chains and set me free

my destiny
please release me from this hell
i'm locked inside, locked inside
cannot break the broken spell

welcome to dying
welcome to dying
now say your last goodbyes

death is spreading like disease
life i cannot see
fate a shadow blackening my soul
life holds nothing for me now
death so let it be
fate is something far beyond control

welcome to dying
welcome to dying
now say your last goodbyes

before my eyes
flashing memories of the past
i lie in wait
could these thoughts now be my last
time fade away
have i wasted all these years
as air grows cold
for the end is drawing near

my destiny
please release me from this hell
i'm locked inside, locked inside
cannot break the broken spell

welcome to dying
welcome to dying
now say your last goodbyes
