Sonata Arctica - The End Of This Chapter [compilation] (2005) by Sonata Arctica (보컬) on maniadb.com

It truly makes the most beautiful music
Everything it has to give
It's everywhere hiding the listener
Without it I could not live
...Silence

Weballergy - Sonata Arctica

We only have one candle
To burn down to the handle
No matter what they say
If you live like a man,
You live in tales you tell
To rage and run like a fool
You need no brain, your best tool
Stay put and as they say
Live like a man, the only way you can

You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
you cannot see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed

You type your name on one row
To get dose-up tomorrow
You live in a CC dream, with your machine
It's your goal supreme
You think you have it all now
The wisdom, power, know-how
Can't even think you're wrong
This is the way the brain of a male is made

*You let the phone line bring it home to you
The life, the lies, the dreams
you cannot see the real thing underneath
- Naked truth revealed

**If you live, you will die
You won't live forever stuck in time
Ebb and flow, push and tow
You must keep it real to find her

*(Repeat)
** (Repeat)

8th Commandment - Sonata Arctica


All those lies suit you.
They are custom made to drive you out of reality.
Lies are true for you. You know,
what you do is reaching a point of insanity.

When you wake from your dream you know what is true?
Ring of bell inside your head is playing with your mind

Remember to pray, and what the Bible says and you will
live thru eternity
You haven't hear of this?
There is something you missed -
it will cost you so heavily.

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever, your eyes
tell a lie and the liar must always die.

When you're done with him, you know where you have
been, He will treat us all equally.
Can you feel the fire burning

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made.
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever, your eyes
tell a lie and the liar must die. -Repeat

Sitting in a corner all alone
Staring from the bottom of his soul
Watching the night come in from the window
It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again


In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know

Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields", he thinks Hunted by his own,
again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore?
Someones at the door, understanding too demanding

Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Makes him insane to know


She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run way)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
See the change in Him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man... Fullmoon

Swimming across the bay
The nite(night) is gray, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight..."
In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
A hundred moons or more, he's been howling

Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again...


She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and is not a man anymore
Sees the change in him but can't
(run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her man


She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and is not a man anymore
Sees the change in him but can't
(run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man

She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and is not a man anymore


See what became out of her man

The ones who seek justice,
will pray for it all their lives... They can
and they will skin us all one day...
oh can you hear them cries As far as
the man can run from us we're following
the trail of blood So hunt my
young ones, the pack they have always feared is back

I have always known the storm would come...
Listen now, my young ones
This not a story I tell
of midnight, moon and sun...

Are you ready to walk the forbidden road
learn again what we tried to forget
The dark can now take over you

We have a common past, an ancient bond
The people once broke
We would only take what we need,
They would harvest our weak,

But they hunted us all,
We ended the last of them, thus far, ten lifetimes ago
In hopes of healing the sore, but the war still went on

Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I ain't gonna see you taken away...

Heading for the dawn
Of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver
This ain't your fairy tale...

It took us many years to teach them
How to cry wolf
We made the people serve the purpose
Those ignorant fools... my young ones!

Teach the ones below you something you've learned.
And learn from the ones above you
Fear is your deepest wisdom
For these last days...

Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I ain't gonna see you taken away...

Heading for the dawn
Of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver
This ain't your fairy tale...

The ones who seek justice,
will pray for it all their lives... They can
and they will skin us all one day...
oh can you hear them cries As far as
the man can run from us we're following
the trail of blood So hunt my
young ones, the pack they have always feared is back

On your last day, remember, we never die
death does not exist for us.

They don't fear the wolf, but the wild within
no glory to the way this must end
This is a story I told
Unfolding before you

Preying for the moon,
Hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I ain't gonna see you taken away...

Heading for the dawn
Of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try...
Look me in the eyes, oh, wolver
This ain't your fairy tale...

Unopened
by Sonata Arctica


Another misspelled rhyme
written in the book of time
In one page I've spent all my life
Ink ain't even dry. I've been living in a lie?
How could I trust in someone of your kind?

And I got today another letter in the mail
I can't read it here, not today
And when years go by
the unopened letter meets my eye
I'm older and wiser, but still afraid

What if I read it and it is - full of love
How can I face it if I am wrong

Do you feel? Do you care about me?
Did you wait and love all this time?

I am here, would you come and find me
does your writing guide me thru this all

What if I'll read it and it is - full of love
What if you'll tell me that I am wrong

Do you feel? Do you care about me?
Did you wait and love all this time?

I am here, would you come and find me
does your writing guide me thru this all

2005.6.1.
With the vengeance, we have no time to bleed.
My only world filled with fear.
I never saw the sower of the seed.
Where is the world we had. Who can ever save you and your little lives.
A child guides a child guided child.
A child is never guilty. But you should not run free...
The grave is open, let us pray without remorse.
Empty the cradle with fire for them once again.
Why not look through your fingers what they've done.
Your own blood will clean the blood, for now the glory days are gone....
Time has come for everyone, to think what we have done.
Open your eyes and see, it's not a dream.
You aim for a common goal, you are one with your foe.
If only we could wake up soon and scream.
Abandoned, pleased, brainwashed, exploited, madness has a reason.
Throw money at the problem and it will remain.
Your life has no value for them, ""violate me and this never ends.
My children will then hate you too.""
The grave is open, let us pray without remorse.
Empty the cradle with fire for them once again, tonight.
Why not look through your fingers what they've done.
Your own blood will clean the blood, for now the glory days are gone....
Now, when it seems that we have nothing to believe in.
Maybe we should be waiting for the rock to come.
For our children soon have nothing they should learn.
The grave is open, let us pray without remorse.
Empty the cradle with fire for them once again.
Why not look through your fingers what they've done.
Your own blood will clean the blood, for now the glory days are gone....
Time has come for everyone, to think what we have done.
Open your eyes and see, it's not a dream.
You aim for a common goal, you are one with your foe.
If only we could wake up soon and scream.
Time has come for everyone, to think what we have done.
Open your eyes and see, it's not a dream.
You aim for a common goal, you are one with your foe.
If only we could wake up soon and scream.

I am your poison candygram
The love that's meant to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day

Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life
(Time to walk with me the last mile)

I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
How I was waved aside (listen how the headless doves cry)
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I spent a year in love before (I realized it's me)

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
Could I let you wait out the night

Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
Now, sit, watch and learn
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't say a word

It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
I place a black candle on your chest
the path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, (you made me stray)

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
Settling the score, we pass the twilight

Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
Now, sit, watch and learn
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't say a word

Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer
I assure you: I won't die before you
You read the book now
The part "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

Short is the fight of this little starling
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
And see how the fear of death becomes her

We had it all so sweet
Made for me, you, indeed
Big secret, small the lie
Don't cry for me, oh, Argentite

No word you say tonight
Can make this be alright
I'll help you follow through
Remember this?: Pacta sunt servanda

The wounds are too deep
I need to keep the scars
To prove there was a time
When I loved something more than life

Unlike the last time here
I now have the means and a will sincere
Your knight is nowhere near
Unfortunate for you, this makes me your god

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
And stay alive this night
I promise you the end before the first light arrives

Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
Now, sit, watch and learn
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't say a word

Mother always said "my son, do the noble thing"
You have to finish what you started, no matter what
Now, sit, watch and learn
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word
Don't say a word

The light escapes her room tonight,
Every little moment tells her,
Now it's time
Opening a new scar,
Closing the wounds with a knife,
No more crying in the lanterns light

Leave with the first light,
Go when you still see the moon
Run for the sunlight,
Gate is now open for you

Dancing on the path and singing
Now you got away
You can reach the goals that you have set
From now on, every day
There is no way you would go back now,
Oh no, those days are past
Life is waiting for the one who loves to live,
And it's not a secret

The Shades of darkness filled her life,
In every single corner you can not turn right.
Night could pass for a day,
In her lack of faith she let it all fade away.
Once more, a cry in the lanterns light

Lost in the sunlight,
Leave, you will not see the moon
Walk for the first time,
No one has waited for you

Dancing on the path and singing
Now you got away
You can reach the goals that you have set
From now on, every day
There is no way you would go back now,
Oh no, those days are past
Life is waiting for the one who loves to live,
And it's not a secret

Dancing on the path and singing
Now you got away
You can reach the goals that you have set
From now on, every day
There is no way you would go back now,
Oh no, those days are past
Life is there for the ones who love to live and take it all,
For it is free

Dancing on the path and singing
Now you got away
You can reach the goals that you have set
Fom now on, every day
There is no way you would go back now,
Oh no, those days are past
Life is waiting for the one who loves to live,
And it is not a secret

Blank File
by Sonata Arctica

It is your new best friend, new eye in your private den
And you can find the world inside it every day
They know what you did today, hear everything you say
And when they send you mail,
they know where you will go sometime next day

They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

Caught in the web again, inside your private den
Where you can go to moon
or meet some people you will never see
You are a file in there, money in an open fair
You're a slave among the slaves, waiting for Y2K with a fear

They know your life, they have a file about you
They built your life, so they...

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

Still they try to take over, control my life,
but no one can do it but me
I'm not that easey, I'm blank file in their memory

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

I am waiting, hoping and praying
to see - how this - will end - when they go down

How can it be, that you cannot see
what they are doing with thee
You are a life, new file in their memory, now they

Know what you like and know what you yearn
but they don't know a thing about me
I'm not that easy, I'm blank file in their memory

How can it be, that you cannot see
what they are doing with thee
spending your time, living your life
inside their machines there is one empty file, it is me

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

In love with the maiden, The flower of winter
Lowbrow children, in grove of the inland
How many times heart's gone through the grinder
wherever you look there's a painful reminder
Singing a love song, words of a stranger
The howling miller, never to face her
Temple of the evil, Temple of the weak
no one knows how bad he feels
Late-night innuendo, temptation of the key
'Live with the Blacksheep, live with me'
Insanity, blessing for those born to hate you
Burned by the embers of love, it is so cruel
Howling the night, for sun of the midnight
Serving the people, condemned you in the eternal night
of the lost song, words of the stranger
The howling miller, never to face her
Temple of the evil, temple of the weak
No one knows how bad he feels
Late-night innuendo, temptation of the key
Live with the Black Sheep, live with me!
Temple of the evil, temple of the weak
No one knows how bad he feels
Late-night innuendo, temptation of the key
Live with the Black Sheep, live with me!
Temple of the evil, temple of the weak
No one knows how bad he feels
Late-night innuendo, temptation of the key
Live with the Black Sheep, live with me!

I could see my life, short film passing my eyes
I tried to look away from her, as always I just tried
Sweetness in her eyes, gone thru one million miles
How could I turn my back on her, the sweetest thing alive
I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Sun of San Sebastian eighteen years young today
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray
It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian is just too hot for me

Look what I have done to my San Sebastian
I wasted all my childhood dreams by staring at sun

Back in time with a dream of mine
I try to find my way back to life

Burning fever, night time screamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Sun of San Sebastian oh why I cannot stay
She's all I ever dreamed, but now my skies are turning gray
It was good I got to know her well, because it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian Is just too hot for me

Every single day, for the rest of my way
I live without my love, my God, I have to stay in shade
When I'm old and gray, I remember that day
When she came, that perfect dame and she blew me away

I was eager, day time dreamer, waiting time when I'd come alive

Oo-oo...
Was it good I got to know her well although it made me see
That the sun of San Sebastian is way too hot for me?
Oo-oo..
Now I live my life in shades and I am married to the moon
And the sun of San Sebastian is warming someone new

A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door
Suddenly I realised what locks are for
No trusting them anymore, Lights - are - out

Empty the stare, innocent and unaware,
Dragged out from my home, my lair
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me

The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free..

The Dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
Go around and see another side of the tree
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me

Fear in the dark, I advice you
can't see the eyes, the glow behind you
… it's my song they now sing to you
You stand no chance…

They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free,
It's my minions vs.thee
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me

The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free..

The Dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
Go around and see another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free, howl and (dream)

The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
Run around and see another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't tame me…

You will remember the day you crossed my path
Leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath
What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel
I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you, you, back to you…

The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free..


Chorus * 4

Chapter One

[Phone rings]
[Spoken]
"Hello?
Well, well, how are you?
Uh.. who is this?
Who do you think this is?
Stop it.. who is this?
You know very well who I am..
You almost got away from me didn't you?
Oh my god.. you can't be.. you can't be!
Hahaha
Oui, oui, mon amour... c'est moi."

I gave you my time
I gave you my whole life
I gave you my love, every dime
They told me it was... a crime

Do you remember?
Or did it all go in vain...

Chapter Two

I looked in the light, I sat in your coalmine
The promise they made, I should keep?
Make sure that we would never meet

I can't remember
The promise I made so deep

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive

Chapter Three

Across darkened skies, I traveled without a light
I sank in the well of my mind
Too deep, never to be found

I can't remember...
How could you be so vain...

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive
Love that expired too long time ago
Kills me, it thrills me...

Chapter Four

You have new love and
It looks good on you
I have never wished you dead, yet.

You can now have all the things I could never give to you
Look out the window "c'est moi"...

Chapter Five

I'm sorry, I am here
I'm not sure if it should bring you fear
I whisper in your ear
Why is he here?

Chapter Six

While you are sleeping, I steal your ear ring
Light you one candle, this anger I handle
They said I won't find you, but now I'm beside you
I'm not all that stable
You should know by now that you are mine...

Tell me that past times won't die...
Tell me that old lies are alive
Hate due to expire too long time ago
Kills me, it will kill you too...

Past times won't die...
I tell you that old lies are alive
Love due to expire too long time ago
Kill me, it's killed me before...

2005.6.1.
Blessed with an eye to see things as they are, will you draw me?
Up there on the wall, looking down to us all, you never saw me..
I found a pen, and I outlined a life.
You've never cried, I think I saw a tear in your eye.
Your eyes tell the tale, I will not ask again.
Now I see what you've lost nothing is quite the same.
By the love of my heart, cut my drawing in half, for I think I'm like you... Should you draw me...
Waiting for my evenfall.
Farewell, my passion, you slowly turn pale.
I will long for you warmth, made me feel safe.
I will not draw again, 'till I know it's my time.
I have lived a long life, should I draw me...
Morning's here, I must have....failed
