Symphony X – When All Is Lost Lyrics 14 years ago
My thoughts exactly! I finished listening to the album for a fifth time, and I'd have to agree with you now; Reign In Madness is the better ending. "Revelation" is definitely one of my favourite songs; perfect way to end an album.

I have to stop using "I mean,..." so much. LOL

Same here! I mean, it would have been cool if the album ended off right after where he sings; "hit the lights and start the show..." and then faded out with the keyboard line (in 'Reign In Madness'). I'm just not too big on abrupt endings. The only album that's actually worked on was Protest The Hero's "Fortress". :)

I mean, I loved this album, but I still think they were missing something... I mean, aside from a few tracks, the album was missing some diversity... even though I realize they were taking this album in a heavier direction than Paradise Lost. Maybe I'm just expecting too much :P I suppose the long wait had me hoping for an album that would top "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy".

This could have topped it, had they incorporated some of the "classic" Symphony X in a darker/heavier way- which they did (for example) on Iconoclast (the song), and I thought that was brilliant!

This is probably one of the best songs on the album, IMHO.

On another note; am I the only one who thinks that this is a better ending to the album than "Reign In Madness"?
