Sasori (Sonata_Arctica) все записи автора So many years ago, many more than I'd
Even care to bear in my mind
From the darkest of all places I found you

All the limbs in their right places
and a heart made of real gold
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind

Every night I returned to watch them
The master and the puppet in the show
He said:'oh, no, I cannot sell him...
Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine.'

Please, sell me your puppet, sir.
Name your price, oh please,
Whatever you may ask,
tenfold the price I pay

'Did I not make it clear?
This debate is over.
I will never part from this puppet, my son...'

With hungry eyes I followed them all night
The blind master and the puppet he had made
'No, sir, to sell is not my will!'
the doll's mine, even if I have to kill...

So, it shall be... if this is what it takes
'Oh, greed's truly blinder than me...'
'Heart of gold is what you wish for?'
'So, this little boy... wants to be... a puppet, for real...'

So, I have the golden heart
Now only needing the voice of the master
Never feel hunger, never grow older
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show

It's so hard to remember my life
The times before the show
can I ever cut off the strings?
'take a bow, now dance and sing...

Would you turn me to a child again?
'No, never, I am your Guide.'
You can see a small grin on the face
of the master, when the puppet's in his place

Be careful of what you wish for
Wishes might come alive
The twines are pulling me every day and night...
The show, the glitter and all the fame
I'd give away for a life
Some things can end with a word, they say
This only ends with a sharp knife...

Don't Say A Word

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 was not 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're lying
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 flight 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...

Ain't Your Fairy Tale

I have always known the storm would come...
listen now, my young ones
This is 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 madw the people serve the purpose
Those ignorant fools... my young ones!

Teach the ones below you something you have 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...

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...

  Blinded No More

Your pretty face seduced me,
blinded me from how you used me
I walked the long wat home,
only to get hurt by you again
The longest glance, oh,
what illusions did i have of you?
A lone reflection splitting in two

You found all seven ways to keep me near,
near within your reach
You sure knew how to harness love,
but never made me more than want you
I'm not sorry, you will never get more out of me
'Cause i am blinded no more

You sucked out my will to live
You gave me the crown, and killed...
High road would have none to regret
Never left, i took the low road instead

Love is a tittle death between two little lives,
nothing more. now i have myself to live for...

You sucked out my will to live
You gave me the crown, and killed...
High road would have none to regret
Never left, i took the low road instead

  Ooo, my life is out of my hands
  I always gave eternal love another chance...
  Say the words, i wanna hear... all over again.
  Consuming love , my only reason...

Nothing is service free,
such things cannot be healed,
that will do fine for me,
so come here, come, come, come...

And suck out my will to live\
You gave me the crown, and killed...
High road would have none to regret
Never left, i took the low road instead

...in the same nightmare again...
...dark tunnel of love will never end
...taken for granted again
...too weak a man to say it is over, all over

  Ooo, my life is out of my hands
  I always gave eternal love another chance...
  Say the words, i wanna hear... all over again.
  Consuming love , my only reason...

We always seem to end up here and break a lance
Ready to give eternal love another chance...
You say the words, i wanna hear... all over again.
Lust is my all consuming reason...
Now, take me again...

Misplaced

Sometimes i feel so out of time and place, trapped in a maze
As if was lost in someone else's life...
The values i should keep in high regard don't mean a thing to me

Do you ever feel a need to go back in time? a dream of mine...
To travel far away and one day steal back my life
in the end all i can do is to learn i live in a dreamland

  This time was not made for me
  I have nowhere to land, no place to rest,
  Like a bird, without a nest, i'm gliding
  Under the clouds, forevermore

How much suffocated anxiety can be held within?
I was found guilty to a crime against myself.
No need to hear the words again,
I live and i'd die for my dreamland

  This time was not made for me...

I'll never have a chance, i can't understand
I'm a misplaced man
How could this backward land
Learn to understand my dance
What it's like, when every single smile hurts...

I have never felt like home here
Always missing something
People aren't connecting
Am i misplaced soul?

I live in a perfect Hell, i try finding my wishing well
when i drop my last tear, i have accepted this life

A true saint, that i am not, you have never seen me
'Cause i have always been there, standing by your side

I'll never have a chance, i can't understand
I'm a misplaced man
How could this backward land
Learn to understand my dance
what it's like, when

Every single moment pains me...
Never felt like home here
I am missing something
My soul's in a wrong shell?
