Angels Of The Apocalypse
Timo Tolkki's Avalon Lyrics

Painted a picture, skies are falling down
Describing a scene where everything is collapsing

Can you feel it trembling?
Asking if the listener can sense the disaster happening

The end of the rainbow dream
The end of a long-awaited dream or hope

To kill with love
Love can be just as destructive as hate

It is time to die
Accepting the inevitability of death

Souls colliding with the heat
Suggesting a violent, fiery encounter

All the shades that will lead (to) darkness
All the paths that lead to destruction

The pain, the pain
Emphasizing the agony of what is to come

Now you dance to my rhythm
The artist has taken control and the listener must follow

And transmission declare an emergency
A sense of urgency and impending chaos

Welcome to the new age
An ominous greeting for what the future holds

Radioactive, the satellite's down
The destructive force has knocked out communication

Earthquakes to shake this petty ground
Even the earth is affected by the catastrophe

Flowing rivers into blood
Everything turns red with violence and death

Wonder why, you never saw the signs
Reflection on the ignorance of what was to come

To pull you through
To guide someone to safety

This all ends tonight
The event has reached its conclusion

Somewhere in the distance
An image of something far away but still heading closer

You can see the burning sky
The sky is an ominous, fiery red

Getting closer and no escape
The artist's sense of power is inescapable

It's too late to cry
No amount of regret will change what is about to happen

I will make you understand
The artist will force an understanding of their message

You were my perfect dream
A comment on the listener's importance to the singer

So I gave you everything
The artist dedicated themselves entirely to the listener

But all was just in vain
The singer's efforts were for nothing

Judgment - Innocence
An ominous foreshadowing of things to come

Liar - Warrior
Opposites that are about to collide

Justice - Vengeance
Two conflicting concepts that will be resolved violently

Evil - Purify
Destruction and cleansing will occur simultaneously

Now the time has come
The moment that has been anticipated is here

Mercy I will not show
The singer will not show kindness or compassion

Madness, destruction
The artist's state of mind and what will result

Reaping what you have sown
Consequences for past actions are coming to fruition

Never wanted this
Regretful acknowledgement of the current situation

Oh, how I miss
A genuine fondness for the past

I love you so
The artist still has deep affection for the listener

But now it's time to go
The singer must move on, regardless of attachment

Angels of the Apocalypse
A final reference to the destructive force that has been unleashed
