Hyperion - Forbidden Pages lyrics

What did I see? Which place is this? Darkness surrounds me A whole new world Completely unknown Spreads all around me and I’m here alone All my life I hunted the old tome Craving for his powers To make them my own Thrown between the meaning of the words Merely a glimpse of what I’m going to learn Forces of evil Enthralling my soul Servant or master? Forbidden pages Are taking control What I was first isn’t here anymore If I had known Was not foretold What I was in for Now it’s too late I’m through the gate Forever slave to ancient creatures of hate All I ever wanted for myself Pleasure of discovery Mastering the arcane But I choose a path too far ahead For all my knowledge won’t save me Forces of evil Enthralling my soul Servant or master? Forbidden pages Are taking control What I was first isn’t here anymore Claws growing where hands Used to be And wings! Spawn, sharp as steel Ripping flesh from my back Eyes that can see right through Your soul And pain! Pain that will last through the years But gone is the feeling of fear Forces of evil Enthralling my soul Servant or master? Forbidden pages Are taking control What I was first isn’t here anymore Forces of evil Enthralling my soul Servant or master? Forbidden pages Reversion of roles What I was then isn’t me anymore
