9. Sonata Arctica - White Pearls, Black OceansI was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,\nLearned to stay away from the crowd\nIn my home, my lighthouse...\n101 steps round and down\nNew Years Eve, one night on the town\nCan change one life into eternity...\n\nAll I could see, her eyes,\nWe got caught in the moment, all of the night\nTaken beyond all lines,\nIn silence leaving \'em all behind\n\nShe had found the sails, for the following night\nThe town, for her, was getting way too small\nShe promised to be mine\nForever, ...for that one night...\n\nMoments, passion, small defeats\nConcealed emotions, found in me\n\"You gave life to a brand new me...\"\n\nCrossing the wintry fields,\nThe first hour of morning light\nWarmed by the flame inside,\nThe lasting memory of the ending night\n\nI never had a chance to stop what hit me...\nWhat broke my bones and mauled me...\nAfter hours of deep, unwilling sleep... in a cold shelter\nFell back in the dark, and thehours of the day passed...\n\nA nightmare awakes me, blinking light!\nThere\'s no guide, blind ships in the night\nOh blood red moon, eat away the night\n\nDarkness covers my lonely soul,\nNo one to feed the dying light...\n\nGood morn\', oh dreadful day,\nI prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...\nForthe sails of night,\n\"Please tell me everything\'s alright...\"\n\nMy voice in the room broke the silence,\nEverybody killed me with their eyes...\nWhat I was to hear made the people cry,\nImpossible for me to keep the tears inside\n\n\"All on board the White Pearl have died,\nCoastal reef has tolled their lives\nAnd you are the light of the night...\"\n\nOne thing, I remember, before I fell onthe ground...Although I never saw the face,A name was inked in his arm...Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe\nGod loves complex irony?\nThe family name stated I had seen before...\nWritten on her front door...\n\n\"Silence in the courthouse!\"\nA presence in the room, we both could feel\nThe father of her unborn child and me\n\nAll on board the White Pearl have died,\nCoastal reef have tolled their lives\nWhile I was the guide light...\nBack in my tower, run, run, run\nLight is out, I hope to see\nBlack oceans beneath rise and swallow me\n\nOne step will take me back inside, another sees my end\nNo one can love a man who guarded the light\nThat died one faithful night, so many lives...\nFlaming eyes I must confront before I\'m stated free\n\nDefining innocence is hell, after all that has past...\nBuilding new walls inside my eternal night...\nAlthough they took my heart and dried me up\nSometimes I still bleed...\n\nShow me the way\nThe light will show me a way on the grisly reefs\nToo many dead ends I see\nNo soul can save me\nThe respect I lost, the measure of a man...\n\n10000 steps down, round and round\nOne night at the town and I\'m hell bound\nBlack oceans beneath come and swallow me\nAll on the board White Pearl had died,\nCoastal reef come claim my life\nBlack oceans beneathcome and swallow me\n\nMy little tower, seal my fate\nHelp me pay back, end their hate\nBlack oceans beneath come and swallow me\nOne direction, down, down, down\nPitch black night for my old town\nBlack oceans beneath shall now swallow me\n\n[SPOKEN:]\nI hereby commit thy body to the deep\nTo be turned intocorruption\nLooking for a resurrection of the body\nWhen the sea shall give up her dead\nAnd the life of the world to come, through our Lord\nAmen\n___________________________\nThe lyrics are the property of the respective authors, artists and labels.
