Replica

Arctica Sonata

I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind


your door. I tried so hard to obey the law, see the


meaning of it all. Remember me? Before the war.


I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...





As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of


what I used to be. It's easier if you don't see me


standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit


here still, you ask are all my dreams fulfilled.


They made me heart of steal, the kind them bullets


cannot see





Chorus:


Nothing's what it seems to be,


I'm a replica, I'm a replica


Empty shell inside of me


I'm not myself, I'm replica of me...





The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill


the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas


Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw


your shadow in a rain. I painted all your pigeons red,


I wish I had stayed home instead





Chorus





Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over


Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over...





Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep


my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back, believe.





I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in a


silent stream. No-one placing blame on me


But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah.





Chorus
