Lyrics Sonata Arctica – Gravenimage
Text:
We met that night, when the sea ran high.
And I craved for more of that near-love experience.
Those who the music hath then joined together, are now put asunder….
Remember me, when I lit the fire.
On a cold winter morning. Now I pass through the moment.
Can I still recognize a beautiful melody…
I play a note, but hear no sound. Have I lost my love or the wings I found.
When I was young,,,
…and eager to please anyone who had time…
Needed to sing, the very notes I heard.
Had to stay in the shadows and seek for the loneliness.
Nevertheless, the price was higher than I had realized.
I was to live alone, ready to make the sacrifice.
Was I in love with you…
My old heart, little harder again. Once the light goes out, everything ends.
It is time…ready to cause a scene, ready to make the sacrifice.
Ready to play the note, ready to end the final show.
The only thing I know.
The pain is here. To stay I fear. In my eyes. I can change one note and make you cry.
In this state of mind. Silence is a crime.
How can life be so feigned and cold. I’ve answered the call of every melody, lovingly.
Did I find the answers to all my questions.
Or a gravenimage of me…
If I found the hidden fountain. Drank the wisdom from its deep.
Would I have the time to save me. Would I have them both to keep.
