Текст песне : Sonata Arctica. White Pearl, Black Oceans.

I was born and raised by the sea, Shy yet proud
Learn to stay away from the crowd
In my home my light house?
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, for all 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 the brand new me.?

Crossing the wintry 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, unwilling sleep, in cold shelter
Fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed?

A nightmare awakes me, blinking the light.
There?s no guide, blind shi[s 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 the dreadful day
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me
For the sails of night
?Please tell me everything?s alright??

My voice in the room broke the silence
Everybody killed me with their 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,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
And you are 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 name stated I had seen before
Written on her front door?

?Silence in the courthouse!?
A presence in the room, we both could feel
The father of her unborn child and me

?All on the board White Pearl have died,
Coastal reef have tolled their lives?
While I was the guide light?
Back in my tower, run, run, run
Light is out, I hope to see
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me

One step will take me back inside; another sees my end
No one can love a man who guarded the light ,
That died one faithful night, so many lives ?
Although they took my heart and dried me up
Sometimes I still bleed?

Show me the way
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
Too many dead ends I see
No soul can save me
The respect I lost, the measure of a man?

10,000 steps down round and round
One night at the town and I?m hell bound
Black oceans beneath me come and swallow me
All aboard White Pearl had died,
Coastal reef come toll my life
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me

My little tower, seal my fate
Help me pay back, end their hate
Black oceans beneath me come and swallow me
One direction, down down down
Pitch black night for my old town
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
