sonata arctica fly_with_the_black_swan-qtxmp Lyrics

Cry for help...

Once I got caught in an avalanche
I must have died
When a Black Swan flew to the rescue and cried
An offer I could not refuse, now I'm working on the other side

Well, I flew with the bird then, and we flew all night
And I got to see my prison from a thousand feet high
Buy me a drink, and I tell you
'bout the Black Swan

Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right
to find the one whom I can steal
a soul from, to buy more time

Must keep my secrets untold until the wrongs are right
the only one I could deceive, I buy my time
Need you to fly on the Black Swan

The date is set, we all must face it
Door to door, seeking salvation
I must fall, die, I wish not
My hopes stay afloat when you give in to the
Silver lining, sharp and so cold
Anger fades into a weak smile
You'd see, I'm ready to do it for everyone
I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now?

Don't worry, I've done this before
It'll hurt like hell and leave you sore
No use escaping, hold on to your ticket of gold and close your eyes

One day I know you will sell your soul
And trade all you are for silver and gold
You'll get an odd advice from a stranger
Take it from me with love

Once I was in love with someone like you
Engaged to be whole
Got torn out of your memories
Covered in snow

I need to find a way to pass on the gift I once received
I'm ready to face it, I'll take my chances
If I am returning to the deep (deep) dark (dark) snow (snow), grey,
So be it I should (should) not rest (rest) now (now)
But forever I'll feed the ferryman's greed
With an empty promise for my lost soul

Must keep those black wings folded until the darkest night
I steal a soul from you to buy me some time

Pouring boiling water on your soul, deep frozen flower
Black nailed finger of the Creator

Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right
to find the one whom I can steal
a soul from, to buy more time

Must keep my secrets untold until the wrongs are right
the only one I could deceive, I served my time
Need you to fly with the Black Swan
