Casta Diva (From the Opera "Norma") [Recorded in Paris, 1958] - Maria Callas, Nicola Rescigno & Orchestre de la Société des concerts du Conservatoire

All things of love and beauty Lost in clouds of fiery dust Beneath the blood-red sky The shifting sands will cover us We drink the cup of secrets Dreaming of the afterlife The sun begins its journey Taking us from day to night So where was God when I needed him the most? What salvation is a holy ghost? For what I've done, you can't blame me I've lived across the centuries When the sun goes down I wear my thorny crown I know them, oh, so well The many opening doors to Hell I drink the cup of starlight Dreaming of the day to come My fingers turn the pages Of the book of life that's yet to come My blood is thin, my body aches To lie in earth is still my fate Eclipse will come to set me free And for that moment I can't wait Telling you now, I will come again With the knowledge from my secret realm Share my treasure with humankind Drink of me, lose your mind When the sun goes down I wear my thorny crown I know them, oh, so well The many opening doors to Hell Prometheus unbound Tears of desolation found Believe the tales I tell The many opening doors to Hell Our life will leave us With wounds so grievous Human deceivers I'm your soul retriever When the sun goes down I wear my thorny crown I know them, oh, so well The many opening doors to hell Prometheus unbound Tears of desolation found Believe the tales I tell The many opening doors to Hell The many opening doors to Hell The many opening doors to Hell

I gotta move Move I've been caught in front of headlights In a Loop I can't escape Paralyzed and just don't know why But I gotta go I gotta go Cause I've been covered up in dust Time to shake it off Let my light shine through I know it's strong enough I've been covered up in dust Time to shake it off Let my light shine through I know it's strong enough I gotta move Move I gotta move I gotta move I gotta move I put the music on and feel right See me dancing in the streets I'm done waiting for tomorrow Just gotta go Just gotta go Cause I've been covered up in dust Time to shake it off Let my light shine through I know it's strong enough Cause I've been covered up in dust Time to shake it off Let my light shine through I know it's strong enough I gotta move Move I gotta move I gotta move I gotta move I've been covered up in dust Time to shake it off Let my light shine through I know it's strong enough I've been covered up in dust Time to shake it off Let my light shine through I know it's strong enough I gotta move Move I gotta move I gotta move I gotta move
