Perfect song, shivers down my spine over and over again. I want to see this live, in a small venue, smoke, athmosperic lights, small crowd, heavy sound.
Ray, has always been one of my favorite vocalis of all time.. Fates Warning, Redemption. This song is a reminder to me, to try and treat the person in my life the best I can.. Peace and love everyone!!!!!!!
Did anyone notice some similarities between Sapphire and Angra’s song Fireworks for this chorus riff and melody at 4:486:1214:28 ? Still an amazing piece of music !
Spetacular Prog Metal epic. Great vocals, entertaining and thoughttful lyrics. And the instrumental is melancholic and technical in a very creative mix.
Love it...every time someone tells me there is no good music anymore...I just want to slap the shit out of them! This is why I love Rock so much...thank you for preserving the legacy of what good music is....
Ray Alder hands down the greatest prog-metal vocalist ever and to think he is from San Antonio Texas San Antonio Texas and not from across the pond. absolute supergroup, need a new album featuring Ray again the last fates warning album shows he has lost nothing.
The very best song Redemption have ever made. (Apart from this song, I actually prefer their debut album with mostly Rick Mythiasin from Steel Prophet on vocals.)
Sorry man. But this album and The Origins of Ruin are magnitudes better than the first album. But you can like what you like, and I can like what I like, and it's all good.
This is the story about meeting someone, having that exact feeling that ends around 2 min in, and then everything falls apart. I even foresaw it, it would go exactly like this - and so it did. Sent her the song and everything.. (she got pretty mad at me then) and .. 25 years from now, what will we have? More cheese please (for the comment, not the song).
The road I've walked for my whole life Has brought me to this crossroads And I'm standing here beside you I know you've never been someone To take things on a leap of faith Please trust me once and never cry again Hold my had We can take this slowly And see where it might lead Going Into Going Into You And everything seemed to make sense The first time that things seemed to fall in place Just for a little while And now my hopes and dreams are burning down Claw out my eyes I'd rather be blind Than to see you turn around And walk away from me Tear off my ears I'd rather be deaf Than hear you Saying goodbye Lucky ones will never Share what we've shared For I'm damned to know Exactly just what might have been Can't somebody stop this? I feel like I'm drowning And everywhere I turn the water's deeper It would tear out my heart To be nothing more to you Than a smile that occasionally Crosses your face Twenty five years from now What will we have? A pile of ash called What could have been? Treasures can slip through your fingertips And sapphires melt in your hands As I gaze in your jaded eyes I pray that this road isn't ending Walking down this road I thought I felt you hold my hand But looking I can see my palm is empty How can you turn from me? All that I wanted Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet It would tear out my heart To be nothing more to you Than a smile that occasionally Crosses your face Treasures can slip through your fingertips And sapphires melt in your hands You turn to me with your jaded eyes And I'm scared that I know how this ends And everything fell into place But now it is falling apart I'm trying to hold on But I can see you fading Be quick-Or you've missed it Sometimes when our backs are turned the choice is made Once-In a lifetime If you didn't see it coming then you're much too late This self constructed prison Is comfortable and warm But I can't escape the feeling That-there must be something more Everyting we've been through That's made us who we are Has broughtus here and now the choice is ours to make I'm begging you I'm pleading on my knees I can't believe that this was just a big mistake From Jeweled Gemstone Memories To Jaded Guarded Energies To Just Gentle Victory I know we could last Tell me what I've got to do, Tell me what I've got to do, To Get Inside Get Inside your heart Where did we go When there are no more conspiracies? When there's only you and only me Seeing each other for the first time? I pledge myself If you stumble I will carry you And wipe away the tears if you will mine And I'm holding out for a miracle But I'm scared to let go of the bird in my hand And afraid taht I've run out of time for a second chance I want to drown myself in your eyes I want to believe but I'm scared that you're lying Tell me there's hope for the ghost of a second chance Chances are meant Meant to be taken But life's so fragile And it's breaking into pieces Somebody help me I feel like I'm dying And I'm reaching for your hand But it's not there And I pray we won't know What we're missing And we'll never imagine What might have been But twenty five years from now I'll still hold on To a fading dream Of me and you Treasures have slipped through my fingertips And the sapphire vanished from my hand I'll never forget the look in your eyes When you lied and said this wasn't ending Treasures have slipped through my fingrtips a And the sapphire vanished from my hand I say goodbye to your jaded eyes As we reach our unnatural end
This is my fav track of the Ray adler years
This whole album and This Mortal Coil are pure gold.
Perfect song, shivers down my spine over and over again. I want to see this live, in a small venue, smoke, athmosperic lights, small crowd, heavy sound.

This song is simply brilliant.

Oh My God. woah...
Perfect!
Wtf! Here's another band that can make a 15 min song look great...i thought only symphony x could do it but i was wrong... Good job...nice feeling
Fates Warning has been doing that for a very long time
The intro´s voice reminds me "Eyes of a Stranger" from Queensrÿche.
Classic tune!!
love this song so much☺
❤❤❤
The road I've walked for my whole life
Has brought me to this crossroads
And I'm standing here beside you
I know you've never been someone
To take things on a leap of faith
Please trust me once and never cry again
Hold my had
We can take this slowly
And see where it might lead
Going Into Going Into You
And everything seemed to make sense
The first time that things seemed to fall in place
Just for a little while
And now my hopes and dreams are burning down
Claw out my eyes
I'd rather be blind
Than to see you turn around
And walk away from me
Tear off my ears
I'd rather be deaf
Than hear you
Saying goodbye
Lucky ones will never
Share what we've shared
For I'm damned to know
Exactly just what might have been
Can't somebody stop this?
I feel like I'm drowning
And everywhere I turn the water's deeper
It would tear out my heart
To be nothing more to you
Than a smile that occasionally
Crosses your face
Twenty five years from now
What will we have?
A pile of ash called
What could have been?
Treasures can slip through your fingertips
And sapphires melt in your hands
As I gaze in your jaded eyes
I pray that this road isn't ending
Walking down this road
I thought I felt you hold my hand
But looking I can see my palm is empty
How can you turn from me?
All that I wanted
Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet
It would tear out my heart
To be nothing more to you
Than a smile that occasionally
Crosses your face
Treasures can slip through your fingertips
And sapphires melt in your hands
You turn to me with your jaded eyes
And I'm scared that I know how this ends
And everything fell into place
But now it is falling apart
I'm trying to hold on
But I can see you fading
Be quick-Or you've missed it
Sometimes when our backs are turned the choice is made
Once-In a lifetime
If you didn't see it coming then you're much too late
This self constructed prison
Is comfortable and warm
But I can't escape the feeling
That-there must be something more
Everyting we've been through
That's made us who we are
Has broughtus here and now the choice is ours to make
I'm begging you
I'm pleading on my knees
I can't believe that this was just a big mistake
From Jeweled Gemstone Memories
To Jaded Guarded Energies
To Just Gentle Victory
I know we could last
Tell me what I've got to do,
Tell me what I've got to do,
To Get Inside Get Inside your heart
Where did we go
When there are no more conspiracies?
When there's only you and only me
Seeing each other for the first time?
I pledge myself
If you stumble I will carry you
And wipe away the tears if you will mine
And I'm holding out for a miracle
But I'm scared to let go of the bird in my hand
And afraid taht I've run out of time for a second chance
I want to drown myself in your eyes
I want to believe but I'm scared that you're lying
Tell me there's hope for the ghost of a second chance
Chances are meant
Meant to be taken
But life's so fragile
And it's breaking into pieces
Somebody help me
I feel like I'm dying
And I'm reaching for your hand
But it's not there
And I pray we won't know
What we're missing
And we'll never imagine
What might have been
But twenty five years from now
I'll still hold on
To a fading dream
Of me and you
Treasures have slipped through my fingertips
And the sapphire vanished from my hand
I'll never forget the look in your eyes
When you lied and said this wasn't ending
Treasures have slipped through my fingrtips a
And the sapphire vanished from my hand
I say goodbye to your jaded eyes
As we reach our unnatural end
12:20 the best solo ever...

Hello no comments???
These are the most desperate, insecure, pathetic lyrics I've ever heard in my life. These feelings are straight up toxic.
So fucking metal.
