When The Lights Are Down Lyrics
Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny
I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seal on my soul
Cause when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
And when the lights are down
You're so far away
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite
[Rules without exceptions last eternally
Every move you make creates your destiny]
What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
She told me and then she was gone
But when the lights are down
There's no more to say
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand
Cause when the lights are down
She'll take me away
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had
Come all ye faithful beneath the moon
Into the void as one
Marching on
Every move you make creates your destiny
I've come to soak my sorrow in halo black
As black as the seal on my soul
There's no more to say
Love is the real pain
An internal revolution in our minds
And when the lights are down
You're so far away
Tell me your real name
In the silence of the darkness we unite
Every move you make creates your destiny]
What can protect me from the past
And all the things that I have done
She told me and then she was gone
There's no more to say
Deep in the shadows
Where the last of my delusions made a stand
Cause when the lights are down
She'll take me away
Tell me her real name
And in death we'll live the love we never had
Into the void as one
Marching on

This was the 1st Kamelot song I ever listened to and has been my favorite song since ...that was like a year ago...
Left off from my comment on March Of Mephisto... Both seductions are completed. Mephisto gains control over Ariel's will, and Ariel's illusioned lust for Marguerite is consummated. The two sleep together. Afterward, Ariel's mind emerges from Mephisto's grp, and he realizes who he had slept with. He yearns for Helena, and, as his mind begins to recover, remembers her death, and the events leading up to it.
wow no comments such a good song....
I almost want to say that this is some sort of grim love song o.O
Sounds like this is after Helena has been killed, 'And in death we'll live the love we never had'. He is having a pretty emo moment here thinking about the loss of the woman he loved.
Actually... this is when Ariel and the lady who looks like Helena get together. Ariel is all yes moody and emo and sees a woman who looks like Helena. Hes basically in a confused moment here. He wants to believe its his lost love but deep down he knows its not. They sleep together and all (when the lights are down... in the silence of the darkness we unite)
Well Horrorfestlover is the one who hit the nail on the head. Since the whole album is a concept on the story Faust, it gets it's meaning from that particular part of the story.
