Trans-Siberian Orchestra - After The Fall Lyrics

I must buy this album. How am I only just discovering this album it's amazing.

RIP Paul O NEILL

People who only know TSO for their Christmas music don't know what they're missing!

After the fall Lyrics

[THERESA]

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 THE 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

Just like secrets.....fucking beautiful.

Who's singing this version of After the Fall? Although not as emotional in her vocal delivery as Chloe, she's still awesome! :)

@Jason Carpp
the great Patti Russo, who is also famous for being a backup singer to Meatloaf

@Mascro1977 I've never heard of Patti Russo. Beautiful voice.

+Jason Carpp Chloe has a better first half, but Patti rocks the second half like no one else.

+Andrew A I like both singers. :)

I would say collaborator of Meat Loaf's. Paradise in the Dashboard Light is an even back-and-forth between the two.

The one fault that I have with seeing TSO live is they slow everything down by a beat instead of letting the song flow, otherwise I love everything that they do

a great song, but live with Chloe's vocals....easily one of my fav TSO songs

@Jazzman29173, dude, it's Patti lol

Patti Russo was a godsend for Trans Siberian Orchestra and so was the man who sang Beethoven, Jody Ashworth.  They both have names for themselves beyond TSO.

No live version that I have heard, comes close to Patti Russo's.

mgdarenz Nah. Lowery’s performance is up to her level if not slightly above.

Milou, screw how good your English is, your taste in music is very good.

No,this is really Patti Russo,if you look in the booklet of the album you can see that she sings the part of Theresa.,and this is not the live version but the studio one.
Greetings

My eyes are tears right now

Blowing the roof off with that one.

hmmm where'd you get those statistics from?? haha :P

Don't worry. Your English is vastly superior to about 86% of Americans on YouTube.

this song is the best

My fav song on this CD. Love love love!!!

I think it's the third time I hear this song and I still cry ... :D
P.S : Please excuse my english but I am french so I'm not very good ...

I want this played at my funeral...

I love Patti Russo,what a voice,such an underrated singer

beethoven, the power ballad

@carterspencer Only if the bride or the groom sang it. : )

I LOVE this song! TSO is AWESOME!

absolut genial!

i love this song. i think this should be a wedding song :D
