Sonata Arctica - The Power of One lyrics
[Sonata Arctica - The Power of One lyrics]
"My father's land my mother's tongue
Misleading me so shamelessly
For many years i misbelieved
The hatred is the path for me"
Father I have killed many angels
I think, I will now walk to the sea
I hope I will someday forgive me please moor
My empty boat on a pier
I can blame for the blue blood
That runs in my veins
But, I seem to forget that
We are all the same
In your own blaze of hate you’ve
Spawn a fear in many lives
You’ve taken action thinking it was
All said on the signs
You cannot heal the feeling burning
Deep inside your spine you now collapse
Cave in revealing scabby marks of life
Mother I’ve seen too much
I hate to live my life
Forgot every word you told me
Stubborn little child angel of your life
I have to find my Eden now
The gates I left behind
But the pain will remain no power to gain
Now I have time to dwell on, self awareness
Dreadful crime i saw the colors too bright
Not knowing that I was blind
I slayed a man who took a
Chance and drank the forbidden wine
The map I draw reveals that
I have been complete, machine, in team
Father I’ve seen too much
I hate to live my life
Forgot every word you told me
Stubborn little child angel of your life
I have to find my Eden now
The gates I left behind the pain will remain
No power to gain, no
Mother where’s your son when has this begun?
Who has been the fool?
No one was born to be a servant or a slave
Who can tell me the color of the rain?
In the world that we live in
The things said and done
They can well overrun the power of one
No one was born to be a servent or a slave
Can you tell me the color of the rain?
In the world that we live in
The things said and done
They can well overrun the power of one
To live and let die
To give hope and take life
Is that what you’re here for?
To think that you're right
To make sure it won’t fly
Is a making of a hate crime
In the homes of the brave
In the homes of the land slaves
We are all the same i need to believe
There’s more than the eye can see
All colors of rainbow
No one was born to be a slave
Seek the past and place the blame
Tell me the color of the rain
No one was born to be a master
In the land we live, we die
Praise the oneness, praise the lie
To bind a web around the faker
We will need a true rainmaker
No one was born to be a slave
Seek the past and place the blame
Tell me the color of the rain
No one was born to be a master
In the land we live, we die
Praise the oneness, praise the lie
To bind a web around the faker
We will need a true rainmaker
"Children of Abel, Children of Cain
Can live in harmony, without shame
The keys that I grant thee, The Sacred Land
Are dry desert sand on the palm of your hand
Without the water, the wisdom of past
Will run through your fingers
Forgotten so fast
Thus now when I leave you, I’m truly blind
This blindness, this blessing
The hope of mankind…"
Misleading me so shamelessly
