Elegy - Metamorphosis lyrics

[Music: Chris Allister & Henk van der Laars]

[Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry]

Gradually he no longer hates the world, nor himself.

Once the epitome of all that's evil, now is a guiding light.

His reformation, to put right his wrong doings.

Thus he is able, together with the strength from a kind heart,

to search out the damaged souls from his wicked past.

Not only to repay them in money,

but also to give the reassurance and belief,

that mankind has the ability to change for the good.

[Verse]

Infantile dillusion, played the biggest part

Anger caused confusion

A childhood fear, of fear itself

Mere mortals playing god

It's time to stop, feel the yearning

Mother Nature's calling you, a metamorphosis working

[Bridge]

Your body's aching all the time

A shadow lurking

Your saviour's waiting in the wings

[Verse]

Night turns to day, only shame remains real

Take their misery away, redeem

Heal the pain they feel

[Bridge]

A chance to turn it all around, a time for sharing

Bury your fears into the ground

[Chorus]

Met-a-morphosis

Put your hatred aside, hear the calling

Metamorphosis

A transformation of kind forming, a season of good is dawning

[Middle-8]

Put away those evil thoughts

Open up your heart and breathe

[Chorus]

Met-a-morphosis

Put your hatred aside, hear the calling

Metamorphosis

A transformation of kind, a season of good is dawning

Hear the calling, have no fear!

[Outro]

The cries of tomorrow, was all you could hear

But the road you have chosen, has wiped away the tears

Silence is golden - silence is real.
