My Land

Sonata Arctica

My own land has closed its gates on me

All alone in world, it's scaring me



I am here to prove you wrong

I'm accused of something I live for



In my dreamland, there's some who understands

A friendly soul, trusting life in my hands



Yes, I gave it all I can

Now it's invaded by a stranger



Keep in mind what you have heard today

You might find that you're not so brave

Are you man enough, carry the load all alone

When other have your own



My old land is but a pile of sand

Cold and bare but something still is there



I am here to claim my land

You can't keep me away forever



Keep in mind what you have heard today

You might find that you're not so brave

Are you man enough, carry the load all alone

When other have your own



I'm a true patriot, you are my land,

you have my soul, you have all I had

Now I am here, and I want it all back



In my dreams, I climb the hills I see

and let a gentle breeze lead me to

plains I once have seen and

Clear blue sky, I swim in lakes I find

I build a house right there

that you can't take away



I am here to claim my land

you can't keep me away, forever, ever



Keep in mind what you have heard today

You might find that you're not so brave

Are you man enough, carry the load all alone

When other have your own
