The Dark

"The Dark" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (a side project by Savatage) is a tune I've had stuck in my head. This one comes from Beethoven's Last Night as he sits waiting for the Devil to return.

This entire album is absolutely brilliant and despite some rather deep sombre moments, it offers hope for all.

This one is sung by the muses. As his life is quickly coming to an end he's sitting alone in the silence - not only caused by his deafness, but also from deep in his heart. A life of regret, despite all that he had brought to the world.

FEEL THE DARKNESS SMILING
EVERY NOTE IS DYING
SILENCE IS REFINING
EVERY THOUGHT IN HIS HEART

STILL THE FATES ARE WEAVING
EVERY NOTE THAT'S BLEEDING
AS HE SITS THERE SEETHING
ALL ALONE IN THE DARK
ALONE IN THE DARK
ALONE IN THE ...

BUT IN THE NIGHT
THE DARKNESS BREATHES
IF HE WILLS IT TO BE

BEFORE HIS EYES
THE MUSIC DIES
BUT HE WILL ALWAYS HEAR ME

HE SITS ALONE
THE CARDS ARE SHOWN
AS HE EMBRACES THE DARK

THE ONLY SOUND
THAT HE WILL HEAR
IS THERE IN HIS HEART

SOMEONE IS WHISPERING SOFTLY TO ME
SHADOWS OF THINGS THAT NO ONE CAN SEE
THEY ARE THERE FOR YOU IF YOU WANT THEM TO BE
YOU WANT THEM TO BE
YOU WANT THEM TO....

BUT IN THE NIGHT
THE DARKNESS BREATHES
IF HE WILLS IT TO BE

BEFORE HIS EYES
THE MUSIC DIES
BUT HE WILL ALWAYS HEAR ME

HE SITS ALONE
THE CARDS ARE SHOWN
AS HE EMBRACES THE DARK

THE ONLY SOUND
THAT HE WILL HEAR
IS THERE IN HIS HEART

Silence is magic, but never forget the song in your heart.
