SONATA ARCTICA LYRICS
"My Selene" (2004 Single)
1. My Selene (edit)
2. White Pearl, Black Oceans... (edit)
1. My Selene (edit)
Nocturnal poetry,
Dressed in the white and silver, you smile at me
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene
But, still...
Solitude's upon my skin
The life that's bound by the chains of reality
Would you let me be your Endymion?
I won't bathe in your moonlight, a slumbering beast,
Enchanted by your kiss and forever sleep...
But until we unite, I live for the night
Wait for time, two souls entwine
In the break of new dawn my hope is forlorn,
Shadows, they will fade, but I'm always in the shade
Without you...
Serene and silent sky
Rays of moon are dancing with the time
A perfect sight, the world divine
And I, the loneliest child alive,
Always waiting, searching for my bride,
I'm still alone in the dead of night...
Silent I lie with smile on my face,
Appearance decieves and the silence betrays
As I wait for the time my dream comes alive
Always out of sight, but never out of mind,
And under waning moon still I long for you,
Alone against the light, solitude and might
In the end, I'm enslaved by my dreams
In the end, there's no soul who bleeds for me
Hidden from daylight, concealed in my cave
Wrapped in the dream that is slowly turning to a nightmare
Where I'm all alone...
And then there was light when you're but a dream,
The book is still open, the pages as empty as me...
2. White Pearl, Black Oceans... (edit)
I was born and raised by the sea, shy and proud,
Learned to stay away from the crowd
In my home, my lighthouse
Hundred and one steps 'round and down,
Here you see one night on 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 our lives
In silence leaving them 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
(A) Moment's passion, small defeats,
Concealed emotions found in me,
You gave life to the brand new me
Pass in the wintery fields,
The first hour of morning 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, unrelieved sleep
In a cold shelter, fell back in the dark
And the hours of the day pass (by)
(A) Nightmare awakes me, blinking light
There's no guide, my ships in the night
Oh, blood red moon lit away the night
Darkness covers my lonely soul,
No one to feed the dying light
The 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 their eyes
what i was to hear you make the fatal cry
(Impossible for me to keep the tears inside)
Mourn no more to a girl that died
Costal reef has stole their lives
and you are the light of the night
One thing I remember,
Before I fell on the ground
Although never saw their face
