Song lyrics Fly with the black swan by Sonata Arctica

[Cry for help]

Once I got caught in an avalanche, I must have died
When the black swan flew to the rescue and cried
An offer I could not refuse, now IŽm 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 IŽll tell you about the black swan

Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right
To find the one who I can steal the 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 wished not
I hope to stay afloat when you give into the
Silver lining, sharp and so cold
Anger fades into a fake smile
You see IŽm ready to do it for everyone
I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now?

DonŽt worry, IŽve done this before
ItŽll 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 youŽll sell your soul
And trade all you are for silver and gold
YouŽll get some odd advice from a stranger, take it from me with (love)

Once I was in love with someone like youŽve witnessed to be
Pull the thorn out of your memories covered in snow

I need to find a way to pass on the gift I once received
I am ready to face it, IŽll take my chances
If I am withering through the evening dark
Snow [snow], grey, so be it
I should not rest now [now], but forever IŽll feed the ferrymanŽs 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

[Solo Jani]
[Solo Henkka]

Must keep those black wings folded until the time is right
To find the one who I can steal the 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
