Xandria - A Prophecy Of Worlds To Fall Lyrics
I am the one that is walking the night
Sleepless I'm dreaming - eyes wide open
Watching the sky for the ashes to fall
Ending illusions - I keep on hoping
So for all you ever desired, you wanted to be
Was shining so bright but only a dream
And nothing remains but this fantasy
Oh this world is falling down
Frozen by gold that has turned into ice
I kept all the secrets deep inside me
Now I will pass them on - now, now you are the one
So for all you ever desired, you wanted to be
Was shining so bright but only a dream
And nothing remains but this fantasy
Oh this world is falling down
Et audivi vocem magnam dicentem septem angelis
Effundite septem fialas asperitae mundi in somnium
Vidi cum aperuisset sigillum sextum
Terrae motus factus est
Magnus sol factus est niger luna tota facta est sicut sanguis
And as it opened the final seal
I stood alone on crumbled ground
The stars had fallen and the sun was cold
This world has never been
Only for the seeing it will be seen
I was given the seal and the key
And I will keep it until I die
All you ever desired, you wanted to be
Was shining so bright but only a dream
And nothing remains but this fantasy
Oh this world is falling down
It's falling down for you

Xandria A Prophecy Of Worlds To Fall Comments
I am the one that is walking the night
Sleepless I'm dreaming - eyes wide open
Watching the sky for the ashes to fall
Ending illusions - I keep on hoping
For this world to survive - to keep me alive
So for all you ever desired, you wanted to be
Was shining so bright but only a dream
And nothing remains but this fantasy
Oh this world is falling down
Frozen by gold that has turned into ice
I kept all the secrets deep inside me
Now I will pass them on - now, now you are the one
So for all you ever desired, you wanted to be
Was shining so bright but only a dream
And nothing remains but this fantasy
Oh this world is falling down
Et audivi vocem magnam dicentem septem angelis
Effundite septem fialas asperitae mundi in somnium
Vidi cum aperuisset sigillum sextum

And as it opened the final seal

The stars had fallen and the sun was cold
This world has never been
Only for the seeing it will be seen
I was given the seal and the key
And I will keep it until I die
All you ever desired, you wanted to be
Was shining so bright but only a dream
And nothing remains but this fantasy
Oh this world is falling down
It's falling down for you
Just discovered these guys. The intro to this song was just...I can't even describe the feeling I got in the pit of my stomach. Can't wait to explore the rest of the catalogue!
Manuella kraller i love you
Can the band please get her back?
Very cool!
I don't get all the comparisons....this and nightwish and this...band and this singer ....blah blah blah... Just enjoy the music and appreciate the fact it's awesome stop analyzing it!
I couldn't agree more Erik.
The Best band of rock in the wholy world Xandria Ever
Julius ist ein armer schlucker
I remember, I met this band with this album, and I was so excited because I had found a band similar to the old nightwish, since I wasn't happy with the former singer Anette Olzon for nightwish.. I quickly bought this album and I tried the older songs, but I didn't like them much.. This album was a real masterpiece in my opinion. I was hoping for them to make another good album like this one, but unfortunately Manuella decided to leave the band and the sound kinda change. Even tho they found another classical singer. In my opinion it wasn't the same. This is the only album that remind me to the old nightwish. The following album wasn't as good as this one but it was ok. The EP was ok too, but the last album was really bad in my personal opinion. Now I found out Dianne Left the band. What is wrong with this band? I read a comment from Lisa, the former singer, saying a lot of negative things about Xandria and for what i understood, Manuella agreed with her. So who knows what's the drama in this band, but damn 4 or 5 former singers already? Anyway I hope they make another album similar to this one.
Me parece que incluso este álbum ganó el premio como el mejor de metal sinfónico el año que salió, superando a Epica y al mismo Nightwish. Por ahí vi que a los de Épica les parecía que Xandria era un clon de Nightwish y no ofrecía nada nuevo. Es curioso porque Épica también de cierta manera tiene elementos de Nightwish, si hasta la misma Simone dijo que se inspiró en Tarja para cantar.
Si es muy triste que el estúpido de Tuomas que, teniendo a la mera reina a su lado, la dejara ir y por su culpa ya todo se fuera a la basura. Extraño con todas mis fuerzas al antiguo Nightwish. Floor no es mala pero nadie iguala a Tarja. Tarja es la mejor y con Nightwish tenían un concepto insuperable.
@Fernando Pérez yup I agree, if tarja was still with nightwish they would be bigger than what they are now, but tarja wanted to quit the band anyway, in her way though but nightwish decided to just fired her.
@Luis De León En realidad Tarja se quiso ir porque ya no aguantaba el acoso del Tuomas. Empezó a acosarla ya cuando estaba casada con Marcelo. ¿Por qué no le dijo antes de que la quería? A eso me refiero que fue muy estúpido. Tenía a la mera reina a su lado, la hubiera conquistado como se debe, se hubieran casado y seguiríamos disfrutando de la música que hacían juntos.
Ahora que por otro lado, si no fuera por esa relación tormentosa, no existirían canciones tan chidas como "Ever Dream". No imagino lo que pensaba Tarja al tener que cantar esa canción que significa la declaración de amor de Tuomas y ella ya casada con Marcelo.
Obviously this is a clone band of Nightwish, but considering Nightwish's quality since Once, old Nightwish fans have to resort to this band to get the old experience.
And yeah, her voice is almost identical to Tarja's voice in Century Child and Once. She can't quite beat Oceanborn and Wishmaster era Tarja, but it's at least something and not as dumb as modern Nightwish.
escuchar a xandria es un deleite para mis oídos,
Simply amazing. Absolute soprano + metal perfection.
After over a decade, I have finally found a band to fill the hole in my heart that Nightwish left when they fired Tarja. This is only the second time I have listened to a band and immediately went and bought their entire discography. They've been through a lot of singers, so all of their albums sound different, but they're all amazing in their own way.
Hopefully they'll get the attention they deserve soon. And, I hope they'll do a US tour within the next couple of years.
As a side note, this is also the first time in years that Pandora has not failed me. Every time I put in "Nightwish Radio," all I got was bands that sounded like new Nightwish. But put in "Tarja Turunen Radio" and suddenly a bunch of amazing bands play.
Thanks Pandora!
This inspires some of my writing.
super cool! **************************************************
Essa banda é incrível! Lembro que há 6 anos atrás eu ia e voltava do colégio escutando Xandria :)
haven't been listening to this music 4 long love it though lots more to enjoy
amazing amazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingamazingv
here we go
best album of xandria by far
one of the best symphonic songs ever made
one of the best productions
one of the best artworks
one of the best voices in metal
enough said
This sounds like something out of Nightwish's Oceanborn or Century Child. Imagine if Nightwish continued with Manuela and Xandria continued with Annete.
ItsAmazingHowIAm Would have been awesome
the best band than nightwish and tristania
bob danger Old Tristania is badass. New Tristania is shit.
Bye bye Nightwish. I've found what I want.
This is one of the best band ever!❤ You can't compare Nightwish to this band! Nightwish can not EVER come up to Xandrias level!
Yeah, DEFINITELY what I think. Xandria's vocal arrangements are a full upgrade, much better than the Nightwish ones. There are even some choirs additionally to the multi-voice parts and this makes it sound way more epic than NW ever was. Plus the fact that both Dianne and Manuela are dramatic sopranos, and Tarja is a lyrical and Dramatic > Lyrical all day long in terms of epicness.
There should be a duo between tarja and xandria
Einfach immer wieder mega gut!
Und die kommen auch noch aus meiner Heimat Bielefeld, muss man einfach ab und an mal feiern :D
beautiful song
their best album....love manuela's voice so much
I love Manuela, she was by far the best voice from Xandria..unfortunately she also left the band after a short while..
lunatic wish? where did that come from?
I am having the same reaction at the moment.
It's not even the uploader's username.
I truely cannot figure this out.
Why do some people react bad when this band is compared to Nightwish? Comparinig to Nightwish is not an insult! I guess it's admiring.
Comparsion to old Nightwish is compliment, comparsion to new Nightwish is mostly insult. So depends to what it is compared to.
If you ask me, Xandria now is even better than Nightwish ever was.
(that's a personal opinion, let's not start a holy war here)
because nightwish is THE band all symphonic metal is compared to.
and tarja is the best singer. if you disagree you are wrong.
Lol, Nightwish has fallen so low that even Nightwish clones are more and better Nightwish than Nightwish itself now.
@Lich Coldheart we all the time comparing to nightwish of tarja turenen , she made the golden age of symphonic metal , we are not talking about nightwish after tarja
this song could be used in some kind of fantasy movie this music in general
Sin palabras. Esto es HER-MO-SO :D
AWESOME
So cool to listen to at night
Muy buen tema, muy actual y coyuntural por cierto... saludos annika!!!
THAT WAS GREAT!
best album of Xandria, i hoping they keep the singer for longer time, but they didn ´t :(
I'm a bit angry with myself for never listening to this band before - This is one of the best songs I've heard lately. I think it's rare to find music that you just love the first time you hear it.
@Musicluffah Thanks Youtube's random music list!
xandria what a woman what a great talent new queen of metal
No kidding. Modern music nowadays is garbage. I stumbled upon Xandria due to searching up Nightfall by Blind Guardian and it popped up, and damn I can't believe I've missed out on this.
this whole album is a masterpiece of symphonic perfection ! Manuela has such a stunning voice
whoa! this is awesome! :D
STOP WITH THE TARJA COMPARING SHIT AND LISTEN TO THE AWESOME MUSIC
@Nero Zero
Ok, now you said it :/
@FINNISH PAGAN hello from Floorgasmland xd
It's a complement. OMFG! You're way too serious about this.
I just love Xandria because they can do what the new Nightwish can't.
Xandria is just amazing!
Oh shit, this feels kind of... prophetic now that Diana left (or was kicked out, depending on your angle) in exactly the same manner as Tarja did
Another grat job from Xandria.. I was already sad when Nightwish has broken down without Tarja.. No I see hope in Xandria's song !!
Iced Earth meets Tarja .... Man ist das ein geiler Scheiß... und die kommen aus Bielefeld.... FETT FETT FETT ;)
she sounds like Tarja
+Sammy I think he's mad because, like many other Nightwish/Tarja bashers, they do not understand that it was Nightwish who inspired bands like Xandria, After Forever, Epica, etc... Hence the similarity in sound.
Personally, I don't have a problem with the similarities. I love it all. ♥
+Mikihara Yeah, Nightwish, Within Temptation and a few other bands started the current style of symphonic power metal, which we should just all be thankful of. One could maybe argue WT isn't symphonic in the same sense, but has clearly pushed the style forward and helped popularize it. And now we have lots of great bands popping up in Northern Europe, Germany, Netherlands and a few in other places aswell. So anyone who loves these new bands, including me, should give at least some credit to the innovators of the genre. It's a new and a relatively small one, so all bands that get popular most likely affect each other.
+Thorn the Branch I agree with your comment, but to be sure: you know Marco Heubaum started a band in 1994, and founded Xandria in 1999 ? For me, I really do not see the point of who was first, who 'inspired' the others, it is just about the music they make. Probably some fans of Nightwish (and I am also a Nightwish fan) feel threatened by the awesome music of Xandria nowadays. If, for instance, a great boxer or tennis player arises, we also do not say 'hey, they think they are great but Mohammed Ali and Boris Becker were there first, so who do they think they are ?'
@allis one Totally fair points there, though feeling threatened for the most popular band in it's genre sounds kinda silly, but some people might still feel that way. Being a sworn fan of a band ultimately only leads to disappointment and inability to accept change in a lot of cases. Also, being inspired by another band is not a negative thing at all in my opinion, it just lets others expand on someone's ideas.
Indeed !
Esta canción nos recuerda a cuidar el mundo donde vivimos lo destruimos sin importar que tiene vida y que Dios nos da la oportunidad de habitar en el y mantener la amistad pero nosotros hacemos un mundo en el cual la soberbia el egoísmo y la ambición nos hacen ser cuerpos vacíos que caen y nacen para dañar a la Tierra y sobre todo nosotros mismos en nuestro mundo de mentiras y la única forma de salir de ella es la verdad y aceptar nuestros errores
De hecho Xandria es la continuación de Nigthwish con Tarja arriba no ha muerto el metal
+mayckoll lopez garcía ella no es Tarja, es Manuela Kraller, y que yo sepa el metal nunca ha muerto y como dice Dio, nunca lo hará!
De hecho Xandria es la continuación de Nigthwish con Tarja arriba no ha muerto el metal
La revelación del Metal sinfónico sin duda esta obra maestra es la mejor del 2012 y no es una copia de Nigthwish como muchos piensan al contrario creo que este legado seguirá en grupos como Xandria donde la épica y las composiciones expresan que para el arte de la música no hay limite ni diferencias

If you're looking for a symphony powered by a supernova, this is exactly what you need!
Perfecto :3
Better than black metal
oh~ awesome symphony metal
Nothing against Dianne, but PLEASE: Manu, come back !!! You rock 'n' RULE
+Gerrit Pchalek I agree with you. Manuela had a more overpowering, commanding deeper voice. Dianne sings beautifully and perhaps even more operatic but doesn't have what Manuela had. Dianne is more like higher pitched and Manuela was more powerful. I like the deeper voices in metal. The higher vocals like Liv Kristine and Dianne are fine but I like the Queens like Tarja and Manuela.
Guess it's about tastes after all. Manuela definitely has more power to her voice, but Dianne's ability to convey emotion through her singing is incomparably higher than other Xandria vocalists, and that makes her by far the best of them IMO.
I love xandria
Epic and beautiful
Manuela, why did you leave?! This was so beautiful i want this on my funeral and my wedding too!
This was my way of getting my Tarja-Nightwish fix...but now Manuela is gone too! Why is every good symphonic metal band moving away from operatic vocalists? Nightwish, Amberian Dawn, Xandria...Epica's about the only band left with good classically-trained vocals.
sorry but she was the first classically trained singer in metal (and Tarja). She esnured her study at conservatory in 2004. She is a classically trained Dramatic Soprano. :))
Sorry I replied comment wintermadness1, not you. sorry.
@Storytimer Geo stop being a fanboy and read her bio. She studied classical singing for only a year. Classical singing takes years of training. So again, only one year doesn't make her a classically trained singer (Tarja was the first one - Floor only followed Tarja's steps as many have done) and if you weren't replying to me, then don't tag me. thank you.
I raed her bio. she is classicaly trained singer, she finished consevatory, no matter how many years she studied.She esnured her study too. And we can see she can sing with operatic voice. she has very large and impersive classicaly vocal range. :)) I tell you again sorry for tagging. it was my mistake :))
Wintermadness1 Epica still has the operatic voice. Epica is the only symbolic metal band worth listening too. And Within Temptation is slowly going back to their roots.
This is more Nightwish than Nightwish is atm
Lol, Nightwish has fallen so low that even Nightwish clones are more and better Nightwish than Nightwish itself now.
vagnar1988 I know right????
O__O god.... damn.... amazing.... **__**
wonferful song!
😍😍😍
Femme metal just totally rules.
All depends on the voice, not everybody can sing Metal...
@DannTheKillerxD But when its done well, its divine.
I know lml
pity manuella has gone
That's more fem metal than any human being can handle!
Me too!!! Really glad that I did!
ニホンゴ!Japanese!
わかんないよねー?
なにゆえ?
