In Black & White — Sonata Arctica

i'm a doorman at my death row, you faceless foe of heart an accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow, white feather in the tar a tearstream on your frozen face a life - in black and white

you slaughtered my soul again tried my best to be worth your two realities you're breaking my heart again to squeeze out a rhyme, i bid you farewell

stupidity, ignorance, leave a light on for the blind

now i will hit you where it hurts take what is rightfully mine, i need a sign that you're worth fighting for winning or losing, alone i am only a pawn

i'm tired of pleasing you discoloured this emptiness, wrapped in a scheme i delayed my dreams to see who blinded your eyes from things that are real

for me, i believe in the taste of bitter sweet dying fountains full of stories untold after a history of losses attained the victory where it occured lips so cold, the final testing ground for beautiful words

dying in the seas of sin, without knowing where lies the bottom idle moments spawned you idle people, no morality, no soul

sabatoge or a fatal mistake? scandal born, new race unauthorised use, not stealing? we've no rights, just passion and rage

people you know, on your side, touching concern stand on a chair and scream as tables turn take a bow, take the blame, soon you'll wake up screaming your nightmare's name

now i will hit you where it hurts take what is rightfully mine, i need a sign that you're worth fighting for winning and losing, alone i am only a pawn

people you know, on your side, touching concern stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn always a minute too late, now feel the burn wake up, friend, you're screaming the name of the

doorman on my death row, you faceless foe of the heart an accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow white feather in the tar tearstains on my frozen face, follow the wicked trail if you wish you see the sum of all my fears in many shades of grey you'll see your dreams in black and white nightmares in black and white sweet dreams in black and white your life is black and white
