Sonata Arctica - Don't Say A Word

I am your poison candygram,
The love that's ment to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside,
I'm choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day...

Under the moon I hold a wake
for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life
cos' I let you walk out the night

Mother always said "My son, do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started,
no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live,
but what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

It won't be long now, love,
like mist I slowly fill the room
I place a black candle on your chest,
The path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray...

Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, w***
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made,
my angel, why...
Settling the score, we pass the twilight... Mother always said "My son,
Do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started,
no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live,
But what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold
On my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes,
It doesn't go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer,
I assure you: I won't die before you
You read the book now,
The part "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, w****
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
And stay alive this night... I promise you the end
before the first light arrives

Mother always said "My son,
Do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started,
no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live,
But what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word

Mother always said "My son,
Do the noble thing..."
You have to finish what you started,
no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn...
"It's not how long you live,
But what your morals say"
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So don't say a word... don't say a word
