"The Haunting" - Kamelot feat. Simone Simons



Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
My inner peace

Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my believes

One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me now and forever
Leave while you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves, it comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep

How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all
dead to all

Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I corrupted from within

Leave leave me for now and forever
Leave what you can

Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves, it comes to an end
Quietly now go to sleep

(Roy:)
Follow me into the light
(Simone:)
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
(Roy:)
Or leave me tonight
(Roy:)
I've gone too far to begin all anew
(Simone:)
Life fades in anew
(both:)
With someone like you

Somewhere in time I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time when no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves, it comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep


Del álbum "The Black Halo" (2005)

*******

Séptimo álbum de Kamelot, banda americana de power metal, que se convierte en segunda parte y final del álbum conceptual -basado en la historia de Fausto de Goethe- titulado Epica (2003).

El tema The Haunting, aparte de tener una letra que llega al alma, jejeje, puede escucharse por separado, sin tener referencias de la historia desgarradora entre el alquimista Ariel y su amor verdadero Helena que termina suicidándose cuando Ariel la abandona para seguir en la búsqueda del conocimiento.
