Tarja - Shadow Play lyrics
[Tarja - Shadow Play lyrics]
Looking at the mirror, asking
Questions with old, weary eyes
Once a girl who had no name
Dressed as an angel in disguise
From the corner of her bedroom
Light illuminates
Crawling shadows, cut out silhouettes
With the darkness, a dancing marionette
Smiled away with such a
Beauty never seen before
Drowned by rain of thorns and petals
Falling at her curtain call
This mortal coil year after year
Recalled a sad charade
Like a shadow play we can't forget
In the darkness, a crying marionette
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave this place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
Alone, imprisoned by the echoes
Of the empty hall
She made a deal with the enemy
And let her fences fall
From the dust she built a
Door to frame new memories
Once a shadow, dancing with her fears
Lights the darkness, now the puppeteer
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave this place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
There's a world inside
We are holding the keys
One day at a time, not trying to please
Tell me of anything that is lasting forever
You are your thoughts
What are we waiting for?
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave this place so wrong
(This place so wrong)
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for (Living for)
I want to leave this place so wrong
(This place so wrong)
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for (Living for)
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
Questions with old, weary eyes
Once a girl who had no name
Dressed as an angel in disguise
From the corner of her bedroom
Light illuminates
Crawling shadows, cut out silhouettes
With the darkness, a dancing marionette
Smiled away with such a
Beauty never seen before
Drowned by rain of thorns and petals
Falling at her curtain call
This mortal coil year after year
Recalled a sad charade
Like a shadow play we can't forget
In the darkness, a crying marionette
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave this place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
Alone, imprisoned by the echoes
Of the empty hall
She made a deal with the enemy
And let her fences fall
From the dust she built a
Door to frame new memories
Once a shadow, dancing with her fears
Lights the darkness, now the puppeteer
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave this place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
There's a world inside
We are holding the keys
One day at a time, not trying to please
Tell me of anything that is lasting forever
You are your thoughts
What are we waiting for?
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave this place so wrong
(This place so wrong)
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for (Living for)
I want to leave this place so wrong
(This place so wrong)
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for (Living for)
Make me believe, I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
