מילים לשיר The Odyssey – Symphony X

To the one that I love, my journey has begun When our eyes meet once more there will me peace The taste of your lips the warmth of your touch Again, forever, two souls as one Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied Home, I'm dreaming of home I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew To return would make my dreams come true Seasons of sorrow have stolen all my years I miss the rolling hills of Ithaca
I've been through battles and cried a sea of tears But the tide is changing, and with it all my fears Yeaaaah
I will return Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied Home, I'm dreaming of home I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew To return would make my dreams come true Behold the sea and winds of Jove
We set sail guided by the stars above
The ports of Troy escape our view
A cold and stormy fate awaits our rendezvous Onward we ride into the raging fury Setting our course by the moon and sun We forge ahead seeking glory Yet the journey has just begun Onward we ride
Nine days we brave her might We are (we are we are we are we are we are) coming home Awakened at dawn
Land dead ahead with the winds of the morning we change course No remorse, a place forbidden to all Search all the grounds Find food and water Yet journey not into the Cave of Woe Long ago
A legend spoke of a beast A thousand riches Hidden deep within the stone A thousand nightmares
Mortal's blood forever flows Mountainous black Engulfed in a shadow A bone chilling growl and an Eye of Hate A ghastly fate, held prisoner by the Eye Yet he must sleep As the daylight fades We focus our senses and sharpen the blade We take aim
In silence we strike A thousand riches
Hidden deep within the stone A thousand nightmares Blood runs forever From the Eye We sit adrift on the open sea
The gift of wind, by Zeus, concealed
So carelessly We break the waves on a course untrue Across the endless plain of blue
A new coast in view We carouse with the maiden beneath her eyes the madness lies in mystery I (I) drink deep from the chalice of gold and jade My senses fade I'm mesmerized ohhh Stay, like those before I condemn you all, from walk to crawl metamorphasized No, my will it defies her Speak the verse Am I asleep? Tell me
Daughter of the Sun There's vengeance in the air and all things all things must be undone Dire warnings
Told by the sorceress in white 'false bringers of love' Echoing songs from above Wings flowing Floating on Sea of Lies, I defy
Their vision Elysium swallows my cries Embracing
Maidens of lust stimulate and manipulate
My senses I welcome a watery grave Tied steadfast
To the mast tragedy awaits me I'm falling
Victim betrayed by the sea So this is home
In the guise of a beggar Minerva guides my way I find my kingdom in jeopardy Vengeance it swells within me As I spy
So many who eye my Queen I'll make them pay for this blasphemy all will see Triumphant Champion of Ithaca I will right all the wrongs Let the Gods sing my song Triumphant Champion of Ithaca Let a new life begin my journey has come to and end A contest of valor "to pierce the twelve rings in a single arrow's flight" Yet, not a one can string the bow My veil of silence lifted
All is revealed Revenge burns in my heart Thrashing and slashing down all my foes to claim the throne Triumphant Champion of Ithaca I will right all the wrongs Let the Gods sing my song Triumphant Champion of Ithaca Let a new life begin this is the end of my Odyssey Seems like forever that my eyes have been denied Home, I'm finally home I've been twenty years away from all I ever knew I have returned to make my dream come true.
