  • Verse 1
    An
    d the 
    night comes 
    again 
    to 

    the circle 
    -studded 
    sky 

    The 
    stars 
    settle 
    slowly 
    in 

    loneliness 
    they 
    lie 

    Till 
    the 
    universe 
    explodes 
    as 

    falling 
    star is 
    raised 

    The 
    planets 
    are para
    lyzed, 

    the 
    mountains 
    are 
    amazed 

    But 
    they all 
    glow brighter 
    from 

    the 
    brilliance 
    of the 
    blaze 

    With 
    the 
    speed 
    of insan
    ity, 
    then 
    he died. 

    In 
    the 
    green 
    fields 
    of 
    turning, 

    baby 
    is 
    born. 

    His 
    cries 
    crease 
    the 
    wind 
    and 

    mingle 
    with 
    the 
    morn. 

    An 
    as
    sault 
    upon 
    the 
    or
    der, 

    the 
    changing 
    of 
    the guard, 

    Chosen 
    for 
    challenge 

    that's 
    hopelessly 
    hard 

    And 
    the only 
    single 
    sign 
    is 

    the 
    sighing 
    of 
    the stars 

    The 
    silence 
    of 
    dis
    tance 

    they're 
    sworn 

    Images 
    of 
    innocence 
    charge 
    him 
    to 
    go 
    on 

    But 
    the 
    decadence 
    of 
    history 

    is 
    looking 
    for 
    pawn 

    To 
    nightmare 
    of 
    know
    ledge, 

    he 
    opens 
    up 
    the 
    gate 

    blinding 
    revela
    tion 
    is 
    served 
    upon 

    his 
    plate 

    That 
    be
    neath 
    the 
    greatest 

    love 
    is 
    hurricane 

    of 
    hate 

    And 

    God 
    helped 
    the 
    critic 
    of 
    the 
    dawn 

    So 
    he 
    stands 
    on 
    the sea 
    and 

    shouts 
    to 
    the 
    shore 

    But 
    the 
    louder 
    that 
    he screams, 

    the 
    longer 
    he's 
    ig
    nored. 

    For 
    the 
    wine 
    of 
    obli
    vion 
    is 

    drunk 
    to 
    the 
    dregs, 

    And 
    the 
    merchants 
    of 
    the masses 

    almost 
    have 
    to 
    be 
    begged 

    Till 
    the 
    giant 
    is 
    aware 
    someone's 

    pulling 
    at 
    his 
    leg, 

    Someone 
    is 
    tapping 
    at 
    the 
    door. 

    Then 
    his 
    message 
    gathers 
    meaning, 

    it 
    spreads 
    across 
    the 
    land. 

    The 
    reward
    ing 
    of 
    the 
    faint 
    is 

    the following 
    of 
    the 
    man. 

    But 
    ig
    norance 
    is 
    everywhere 

    and 
    people 
    have 
    their 
    way. 

    Suc
    cess 
    is 
    an en
    emy 
    to 

    the 
    losers 
    of 
    the day. 

    In 
    the 
    shadows 
    of 
    the churches, 

    who 
    knows 
    what 
    they 
    pray. 

    And 
    blood 
    is 
    the 
    language 
    of 
    the 
    band. 

    The 

    Spanish 
    bulls 
    are 
    beaten, 

    the 
    crowd 
    is 
    soon 
    be
    guiled. 

    The 
    matador 
    is 
    beautiful, 

    symphony 
    of 
    stars 

    Excite
    ment 
    is 
    ecstat
    ic, 

    passion 
    places 
    best 

    Gracefully 
    he 
    bows 
    to 
    ova

    tions 
    that 
    he get

    But 
    the 
    hands 
    that 
    are applaud
    ing 

    are 
    slip
    pery 
    with 
    sweat 

    Saliva's 
    falling 
    from 
    their 
    smiles 

    So 
    dance, 
    dance, 
    dance 

    Teach 
    us to 
    be 
    true 

    Dance, 
    dance, 
    dance 

    Cause 
    we 
    love 
    you 

    Then 
    this 
    overflow 
    of 
    life 

    Is 
    crushed 
    into 
    lie 

    The 
    gentle 
    soul 
    is 
    ripped 
    apart 

    And 
    tossed 
    into 
    the 
    fire 

    It's 
    the 
    burial 
    of 
    beauty 

    It's 
    the 
    victory 
    of 
    night 

    Truth 
    be
    comes 
    tragedy 

    Limp
    ing 
    from 
    the 
    light, 

    the 
    heavens 
    are 
    hor
    rified 

    They 
    stag
    ger 
    from 
    the 
    sight, 

    and the 
    cross 
    is 
    trembling 
    with 
    de
    sire 

    They 
    say 
    they 
    can't 
    believe 
    it, 

    it's 
    sacrilegious 
    shame 

    Now 
    who 
    would 
    want 
    to 
    hurt 

    such 
    a hero 
    of 
    the 
    game? 

    But 
    you 
    know 
    predicted 
    it, 

    knew 
    he had 
    to 
    fall 

    How 
    did 
    it happen? 
    I hope 

    his 
    suf
    fering 
    was 
    small. 

    Tell 
    me 
    every 
    de
    tail, 

    I've 
    got 
    to 
    know it 
    all. 

    And 
    do 
    you 
    have 
    picture 
    of 
    the 
    pain? 

    Time 
    takes 
    her 
    toll 
    and 
    the 
    memory 
    fades. 

    But 
    his 
    glory 
    is 
    growing 
    in 
    the 

    magic 
    that 
    he 
    made. 

    Real
    ity 
    is 
    ruined, 

    there 
    is 
    nothing 
    more 
    to fear. 

    The 
    drama 
    is 
    distorted 
    to 

    what 
    they 
    want 
    to hear 

    Swim
    ming 
    in 
    their 
    sor
    row 

    in 
    the 
    twisting 
    of 
    tear 

    As 
    they 
    wait 
    for 
    the 
    new 
    thrill 
    parade 

    The 
    eyes 
    of 
    the 
    rebel 
    have 

    been 
    branded 
    by 
    the 
    blind 

    To 
    the 
    safety 
    of 
    ster
    ility 
    the 

    threat 
    has 
    been 
    re
    fined 

    The 
    child 
    was 
    created 
    to 
    the 

    slaughterhouse 
    he's 
    led 

    So 
    good 
    to 
    be 
    alive 
    when 

    the 
    eulogies 
    are 
    read 

    The 
    climax 
    of 
    emo
    tion, 

    the 
    worship 
    of 
    the dead 

    As 
    the 
    cycle 
    of 
    sac
    rifice 
    un
    winds 

    So 
    dance, 
    dance, 
    dance 

    Teach 
    us 
    to 
    be 
    true 

    Dance, 
    dance, 
    dance 

    Because 
    we 
    love 
    you 

    And 
    the 
    night 
    comes 
    again 

    To 
    the 
    circle 
    studded 
    sky 

    The 
    stars 
    settle 
    slowly 
    in 
    loneliness 
    they 
    lie 

    Till 
    the 
    universe 
    explodes 
    as 
    falling 
    star 
    is 
    raised 
    the 

    planets 
    are 
    paralyzed 
    the 
    mountains 
    are 
    amazed 

    But 
    they 
    all 
    glow 
    brighter 
    for 
    the 
    brilliance 
    of 

    the blaze 
    with 
    the 
    speed 
    of 
    insanity 

    Then 
    he 
    dies

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
