ALTERIUM, Italiens Power Metal Outfit, angeführt von Fronterin Nicoletta Rosellini, hat am Wochenende ihre Interpretation des Symphony X Songs `Paradise Lost` vorgestellt. Der Song gehört zur “Stormrage” EP, die am 25. Juli veröffentlicht wurde.
ALTERIUM schreiben:
“Our love for Symphony X’s music has always been one of the things that united us: each band member has their own musical tastes, but Symphony X are the perfect common ground. This cover wasn’t planned at all, it came about almost as a game. When Symphony X were later announced as the headliners of ProgPower USA – the same edition we’ll also be part of – we took it as a sign that this cover really had to be released. So we included it on the CD version of the ‘Stormrag’e EP, and today we’re releasing it digitally, just a few days before meeting our idols.”

Lyrics:
In the cold misty morning
Gleaming rays awake the dawn
Here I stand, a stranger in this land
Does your conscience betray you?
Falling from grace, feel the sun on my face
Does desire still hold true?
Mystified by her beauty, does the hunter pity his prey?
Under starless skies all love must die, and fade away
Take my hand, divine or damned, make a stand
Seize the day
Yours or mine, damned or divine
Draw the line, come what may…
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye to paradise
My yearning is silenced by angelic skin of white
Love conquers all, though heavens fall this fateful night
Yours or mine, damned or divine
Draw the line, serpentine…
Love is a tragedy
All that I have, all that I’ll ever need is right here inside
Let the winds of freedom be my guide
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye to paradise
Say goodbye, goodbye
So I’ve cheated and I’ve lied
Been the victim of foolish pride
And I’ve begged and I’ve crawled
And I’ve battled it and bled for it all
So I’ll savor the downfall of paradise
Looking down from ethereal skies
Silent crystalline tears I cry
For all must say their last goodbye to paradise
