Sonata Arctica - White pearls, black oceans... lyrics

I was born and raised by the sea
Shy yet proud
Learned to stay away from the crowd
In my home, my lighthouse
101 steps, round and down
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, all of the 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 a 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 a cold shelter Fell back in the dark
And the hours of the day passed
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light!
There's no guide, blind ships in the night
Oh blood red moon, eat away the night
Darkness covers my lonely soul
No one to feed the dying light
Good morn', oh 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 board the White Pearl have died
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
And you are the light of the night
One thing, I remember
Before I fell on the ground

Although I never saw the face
A name was 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 sealed the room
We both could feel
The father of her unborn child and me
All on board the White Pearl had died
Coastal reef had 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
Guarded the light, one faithful night
Flaming eyes I must confront before
I am stated free defining innocence is hell
After all that has past
Building new walls inside, my eternal night
Although they took my heart and dried me up
Sometimes I still bleed show me the way
Show me the way the light will show me a
Way on the grisly reefs
Too many dead ends I see
I know no soul can save mе

The respect I lost, the measure of a man
Ten thousand steps down, round and round
One night on the town and I'm hell bound
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
All on board the White Pearl had died
Coastal reef come claim 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 come and swallow me
One direction, down, down, down
Pitch black night for my old town
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me

I hereby, commit my body to the deep
To return to the corruption
Looking for the resurrection of the body
When the sea shall give up her dead
And the life of the road
To come through our Lord amen
