Lyrics Flag In The Ground - Sonata Arctica

Flag In The Ground

Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair
And burning love inside
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights
The sails are lit by the lights of Boston
And here we go… off the ship!
Towards the adventure
The one to define our lives
Daily grind and a tiny room
«I got here safe, Love
I have an address, until spring
Then I shall race for the land
Hope to hear from you soon…»
(Her letter reads…)
«Please let me know everything’s all right
Thinking about you, though you’re out of sight
Every night, when I’m turning in, my tears find me
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me…»
«Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream
The best horse I’ve ever seen, a carriage and everything I need
I will make my way to the great unknown
Every moment, I wish you were here with me now…»
No, I’m not a stranger among the people in here
Yet I have never felt so alone
At high noon, sound will boom
And I will start racing for the land we can call home
«I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming and shouting
I’ve never felt so proud, Love
We are free from eternal serfdom
I’m gonna bring you home, my light!»
Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days… SOLO!
Five, four, three, two, together forever!
SOLO!
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river and a new-built home
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river and a new-built home
Every night, when I’m looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free!
