Píseň: Black Diamond

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Visions
Again I see you standing there watching me, 
your gaze, and eyes are tantalising openly. 
Inviting me to get close to you 
can't help myself 
there's fascination in the air. 


I try to fight this strong sensation, 
but there's no chance to escape

Feels like I've known you before, 
repeating phrases, 
but I yearn for something more. 


I 
know I can't stay by your side 
forever, 
but I know 
I won't forget your beauty, 
my Black Diamond. 


Instrumental Solo: Timo Tolkki + Jens Johansson


I 
know I can't stay by your side 
forever, 
but I know 
I won't forget your beauty, 
my Black Diamond.
