Trans-siberian Orchestra: Beethoven's Last Night


What is Eternal

Quote:

And here in the night as I feel the inferno
I stare in the dark thinking what is eternal
The man or the moment the act or the reason
These thoughts fill my head as I contemplate treason

Of dreams I have had and dreams I have pondered
When late in the night my mind it would wander
To things I have done and then quickly regretted
While denying vices my life had selected

And I think what I've done or have yet to begin
And the man I've become and the man that I've been
Now caught in a waltz with the eternal dancer
I'm courted by death but death isn't the answer I say

All I was meant to be
Could I suddenly just decide
Not a thought would survive
Could it be my life's worth
Ended there with my birth

If I could see someone who's been there before me
And traded his soul for a moment of glory
His penance or mercy by spirits debated
While judged on a scale that's been heavily weighted

And what have I done could there be such a sin
In this man I've become, in this man that I've been
Now calling to God from the pit's very bottom
I pray he forgives every sin I've forgotten this day

And who would've thought that my fate it would conjure
This twist in the road on which I have wandered
Each vision and dream now completely dismembered
To give one's whole life and find nothing's remembered

And what good is a life that leaves nothing behind
Not a thought or a dream that might echo in time
The years and the hours the seconds and minutes
And everything that my life has placed in it betrayed
Betrayed, betrayed

The things I have done the places I've been
The cost of my dreams the weight of my sins
And everything that I've gathered in life
Could it be lost, could it be lost in this
Could it be lost in this night

Who is this Child?

Quote:

Who is this child
That I've never seen before?
Who is this child
That I've not seen till this day?
Who dares to fall asleep
Outside my door?
If we should wait a while
I'm sure she'll go away

To be involved with this
Would surely not be wise
For in the final word
She means nothing to me
I learned the trick is
That we just avoid her eyes
And the question
What she means to

What is this life?
There will be other lives
Soon to arrive
Surely some will survive
She is but one
And there are many more
Each the same as any other
Who is this child?
What does she mean to me?
I close my eyes
And still her face I see
She is but one
Her kind is everywhere
Can't you see there's no way I should care?

I need a moment now
I have to clear my mind
Is there a limit Lord
Just to being kind?
There is no way in life
That each child can be saved
Should I be looking with regret
At every grave

There are no guarantees
In life she should be warned
I'm not responsible
For this child being born
I'm not responsible
In any kind of way
For every child that life can gather

What is this life?
There will be other lives
Soon to arrive
Surely some will survive
She is but one
And there are many more
Could this one life really matter?
Who is this child?
What does she mean to me?
I close my eyes
And still her face I see
She is but one
Her kind is everywhere
Can't you see there's no way I should care?

And you see it in the night
And you feel that it's out there
It's the arcing of a life
And it's hanging in the air
Though I try to close my eyes
And pretend that I don't know
In my heart I just can't let it go
There has to be another way for me
A way that leads from this insanity
A way that leads from my destruction as I say

Can you see it in the night?
Can you feel that it's out there?
It's the arcing of a life
And it's hanging in the air
Though I try to close my eyes
And pretend that I don't know
In my heart I just can't let it
Go

After the Fall
Quote:

Time only time could never take me away from you
And why should it try time never cares just what we do
It just sits on a star and gazes down
Dropping its moments all around
And if I could wish upon that star
I would find what you dream and then ask god to grant it

I wanted to say this long before this dark would fall
At night I would pray this then wonder if god heard at all
For the chances I've had are now long gone
And that star is no longer wished upon
For on this night it seems too far away

Try I have tried to pretend that I don't care
But then sleep arrives and in every dream I find you there
But I don't want the past to be my life
And I don't want to live inside this night
But I don't want to see your shadow fade
So I sleep and I dream though I don't understand it

I wanted to say this long before this dark would fall
At night I would pray this then wonder if god heard at all
For the chances I've had are now long gone
And that star is no longer wished upon
For on this night it seems too far away

You can live your life in a thousand ways
But it all comes down to that single day
When you realize what you regret
What you can't reclaim but you can't forget
If I could just fall back into my life
And find you there inside this night and let eternity just drift away

Vienna
Quote:

Since I was a child I've seen her in a dream
A captured fairy tale that echoes 'cross my life
And though I've courted her, she's always stayed unseen
Now all at once she glitters in the night

But that was yesterday and that all was before
When she was far away, a silhouette of dreams
But others whispered that she was so much more
And suddenly I now know what they mean

Dreams change, years strain
Lost illusion's last stands
God's hand, absolution found

Fairy tale sins, visions by grim, all forgiven
Lives spent in vain, never reclaimed take their final bows

Pictures and words, visions absurd
Maddened poets all within sights
Failures in life who'll never know it
Lazarus cries there in his eyes
Hope has risen, depth and facade all before me now
Vienna

What good this deafness?
Quote:

What good this deafness
That my whole life I have dread?
What good this deafness
With these voices in my head?

What good this deafness
If this prattle I must hear?
If I were blind
I'm sure they wouldn't disappear

Did you really want to believe what you're saying?
Did you really want to be here alone?
Have I interrupted a moment of praying?
While your life's decaying, your sins, are they weighing?
While you've been carving your stone
All on your own

Did you really want to sit here in silence?
Could it be that brooding is part of your art?
Is it an extension of artistic license
A moody defiance of all of life's tyrants?
While you've been searching your heart
Alone with us in the dark

Read the story behind the lyrics and the album concept here

A true composition- a story, with music, with voice, with philosophy.
