Píseň: My Selene

Interpret:
Sonata Arctica
Album:
Reckoning Night
Nocturnal poetry: 
Dressed in the whitest silver you'd smile at me 
Every night I wait for my sweet Selene 


But still... 


Solitude's upon my skin 
A Life that's bound by the chains of reality 
Would you let me be your Endymion? 


I would 
Bathe in your moonlight and slumber in peace 
Enchanted by your kiss in forever sleep 


But until we unite 
I live for that night 
Wait for time 
Two souls entwine 


In the break of new dawn 
My hope is forlorn 
Shadows they will fade 
But I'm always in the shade 
Without you... 


Serene and silent sky 
Rays of moon are dancing with the tide 
A perfect sight, a world devine 


And I... 


The loneliest child alive 
Always waiting, searching for my rhyme 
I'm still alone in the dead of night 


Silent I lie with a smile on my face 
Appearance deceives and the silence betrays 


As I wait for the time 
My dream comes alive 
Always out of sight 
But never out of mind 


And under waning moon 
Still I long for you 
Alone against the light 
Solitude am I 


In the end I'm enslaved by my dream 
In the end there's no soul who'd bleed for me 


Hidden from daylight I'm sealed in my cave 
Trapped in a dream that is slowly turning to nightmare, 
Where I'm all alone 
Venial is life when you're but a dream, 
The book is still open the pages as empty as me 


[SOLO] 


I cling to a hope that's beginning to fade 
Trying to break the desolation I hate 


But until we unite 
I live for that night 
Wait for time 
Two souls entwine 


In the break of new dawn 
My hope is forlorn 
We will never meet 
Only Misery and me 


This is my final call 
My evenfall 
Drowning into time 
I become the night 


By the light of new day 
I'll fade away 
Reality cuts deep 
Would you bleed with me 
My Selene?
