White Pearl, Black Oceans |
| WHITE PEARL, BLACK OCEANS… |
| (Tony Kakko) |
| I was born and raised by the sea, Shy yet proud, |
| Learned to stay away from the crowd |
| In my home, my lighthouse… |
| 1000 steps down, round and round |
| 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 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 the board 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 in the room, we both could feel |
| The father of her unborn child and me All on the board White Pearl I have died, |
| Coastal reef have 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 |
| that died one faithful night, so many lives… |
| Flaming eyes I must confront before I’m truly 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 |
| The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs |
| Too many dead ends I see |
| No soul can save me The respect I lost, the measure of a man… |
| 10.000 steps down, round and round |
| One night at the town and I’m hell bound |
| Black oceans beneath come and swallow me All on the board White Pearl had died, |
| Coastal reef come toll 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 |
