Forbidden Pages Songtext
von Hyperion

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...
