โง LYRICS โง
๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐
The lights went down, the curtain fell, a lingering, heartfelt cheer died away.
The harmony, if it was real, then why am I dismayed?
At eventide, in vain I whiled, should we not stand and fight together?
How I regret, my bannerets left me bereft and shamed.
Flow down, bleak rivulet, and carry me ashore.
Fuel my heart, mend my bones for I can't bear no more.
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours.
Battered and broken I'll leave no words unspoken.
Bravery fell into the deepening night where I dwelled.
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open.
Oh dream that I adored, oh memories galore.
Awaken me once more, the tyrant will not be dethroned.
And so you wilt, while he will not atone.
He'll forsake our world: the cretin sways his sword.
Commands the sky, 'till feathers fly and burn forevermore, forevermore.
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours.
Battered and broken I'll leave no words unspoken.
Bravery fell, into the deepening night where I dwelled.
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open.
A plague on your kingdom, a plague on your chest.
Render me lost, all that I'll have I'll forgo but not my quest.
Dishonoured, abandoned, a lone soul, lost and awash with tears.
Without arms nor armour, a meagre shadow, laden with fear.
To you, my love, I bid farewell and bestow the flame.
Hold it high, bright it shines when I reclaim my song.
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours.
Battered and broken I'll leave no words unspoken.
Bravery fell, into the deepening night where I dwelled.
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open.

Dianne has one of the few truly dramatic operatic soprano voices in symphonic metal. I love her rich and full timbre. It's like hearing Puccini in metal, and it makes me wonder what genre Puccini would be writing for if he were still alive today.

I remember meeting Dianne after the concert with Xandria in Prague back in 2014. I was surprised by how down to the earth she is: she talked with fans, took photos, and really made everyone who approached her feel appreciated. So glad she's back. It's time for the fans to show how much we appreciate her too.

Very strong oldschool nightwish/epica vibes. I love it! And Dianne looks beautiful in blue.

I'm glad there's still someone that keeps the opera stuff in the genre alive now that almost everyone is abandoning it.
