White Pearl, Black Ocean

Sonata Arctica

I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,

Learned to stay away from the crowd

In my home, my lighthouse

1000 steps down round and round

New Years Eve, one night in the town

Can change one life into eternity...



All I could see, her eyes

We got caught in the moment, all of the night

Taken beyond all lines

In silence leaving 'em all behind



She had found the sails, for the following night

The town, for her, was getting way too small

She promised to be mine

Forever ...for that one night...



Moments, passion, small defeats

Concealed emotions, found in me

"You gave life to a brand new me"



Crossing the wintery fields

The first hour of morning's light

Warmed by the flame inside

The lasting memory of the ending night



I never had a chance to stop what hit me...

What broke my bones and mauled me

After hours of deep, unwilled sleep... in a cold shelter

fell back in the dark... and the hours of the day passed...



A Nightmare awakes me, blinking light!

There's no guide, blind ships in the night

Oh, blood red moon, eat the night!



Darkness covers my lonely soul

No one to feed the dying light



Good morn, oh dreadful day!

I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...

For the sails of night...

"Please tell me everything is alright..."



My voice in the room broke the silence

Everybody killed me with her eyes...

what i was to hear made the people cry

Impossible for me to keep the tears inside



"All on the board White Pearl have died

Costal reef have tolled their lives

and you are the light of the night... "



One thing I remember, before I fell on the ground...

Although I never saw the face

a name inked in his arm...



Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe

God loves complex irony?

The family names stated I had seen before

Written on her front door



"Silence in
