Sonata Arctica - In Black and White lyrics
[Sonata Arctica - In Black and White lyrics]
I'm a doorman at my Death Row
You faceless foe of heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
White feather in the tar
A tearstain on your frozen face
A life - in black and white
You slaughtered my soul again
Tried my best to be worth your two realities
You're breaking my heart again
To squeeze out a rhyme, I bid you farewell
Stupidity, ignorance
Leave a light on for the blind
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine i need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning or losing, alone i am only a pawn
I'm tired of pleasing you
Discolored this emptiness
Wrapped in a scheme
I delayed my dreams to see
Who blinded your eyes from
Things that are real
For me
I believe in the taste of bitter sweet
Dying fountains full of stories untold
After a history of "losses" attained
The victory where it occurred lips so cold
The final testing ground for beautiful words
Diving in the seas of sin
Without knowing where lies the bottom
Idle moments spawned you idle
People, no morality, no soul
Sabotage or a fatal mistake?
Scandal born, new race
Unauthorized use, not stealing?
We've no rights, just passion and rage
People you know, on your side
Touching concern stand on a chair and scream
As the tables turn
Take a bow, take the blame
Soon you'll wake up screaming
Your nightmare's name
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine, I need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning and losing, alone i am only a pawn
People, people you know, on your side
Touching concern stand on a chair and scream
As the tables turn
Always a minute too late, now feel the burn
Wake up, friend
You're screaming the name of the
Doorman of my Death row
You faceless foe of the heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
White feather in the tar
Tearstains on my frozen face
Follow the wicked trail if you
Wish you see the sum of all my fears
In many shades of gray you'll see
Your dreams in Black and white
Nightmares in Black and White
Sweet dreams in Black and White
Your life is Black and White
You faceless foe of heart
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow
White feather in the tar
A tearstain on your frozen face
A life - in black and white
You slaughtered my soul again
Tried my best to be worth your two realities
You're breaking my heart again
To squeeze out a rhyme, I bid you farewell
Stupidity, ignorance
Leave a light on for the blind
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine i need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning or losing, alone i am only a pawn
I'm tired of pleasing you
Discolored this emptiness
Wrapped in a scheme
I delayed my dreams to see
Who blinded your eyes from
Things that are real
For me
I believe in the taste of bitter sweet
Dying fountains full of stories untold
After a history of "losses" attained
The victory where it occurred lips so cold
The final testing ground for beautiful words
Diving in the seas of sin
Without knowing where lies the bottom
Idle moments spawned you idle
People, no morality, no soul
Sabotage or a fatal mistake?
Scandal born, new race
Unauthorized use, not stealing?
We've no rights, just passion and rage
People you know, on your side
Touching concern stand on a chair and scream
As the tables turn
Take a bow, take the blame
Soon you'll wake up screaming
Your nightmare's name
Now I will hit you where it hurts
Take what is rightfully mine, I need a sign
That you're worth fighting for
Winning and losing, alone i am only a pawn
People, people you know, on your side
Touching concern stand on a chair and scream

Always a minute too late, now feel the burn
Wake up, friend
You're screaming the name of the

Your dreams in Black and white
Nightmares in Black and White
Sweet dreams in Black and White
Your life is Black and White
