AMBERIAN DAWN LYRICS

1. Cherish My Memory

Feeling empty, tears in my eyes
Twisted thoughts they try
To interfere with my will to keep going
The time has come for me
To be one timeless,
Ageless, innocent, calm
My ship is calling

Talk to me, speak to me
Tell me your story
Look at me, watch me
See and behold

Remember me, think of me
Picture me, never forget me
Cherish my memory

Come to me, wait for me
Tell me your story
Look at me, watch me
See and behold

Remember me, think of me
Picture me, never forget me
You must remember me

In my hair I felt a thousand suns.
A thousand clouds kept me warm
And carried me through the sky,
I've finally got the sign

The lights of souls
Are glowing like gold
Storm is rising, the calm is gone
My ship is sailing

Talk to me, speak to me
Tell me your story
Look at me, watch me
See and behold

Remember me, think of me
Picture me, never forget me
Cherish my memory

Come to me, wait for me
Tell me your story
Look at me, watch me
See and behold

Remember me, think of me
Picture me, never forget me
You must remember me

[Guitar solo - Kimmo]

Talk to me, speak to me
Tell me your story
Look at me, watch me
See and behold

Remember me, think of me
Picture me, never forget me
Cherish my memory

Come to me, wait for me
Tell me your story
Look at me, watch me
See and behold

Remember me, think of me
Picture me, never forget me
You must remember me

2. Dance Of Life

Wind takes its place and invites
People to dance till midnight
"Stomp thy feet and let thy
Spirits rise with thee.
Bow to the soul beside you
Swing to your right"
I follow
Dust goes round in old land
And our spirits fly

I'll dance with you through your darkest nights,
I will follow you
I'll dance to the beat of wounded heroes
The tune leads through the ages
Teaching the stories of the magical night
Seizing times and straying minds

Heaven and earth together
Dance of lives forever
Women glow in moonlight
Men are singing free

Swing to your left, go center
Bow to your right and gather
Circle is made and glowing
Cheering joyful sound

I'll dance with you through your darkest nights,
I will follow you
I'll dance to the beat of wounded heroes
The tune leads through the ages
Teaching the stories of the magical night
Seizing times and straying minds

[Guitar solo - Emil]
[Keyboard solo - Jens Johansson]

I'll dance with you through your darkest nights,
I will follow you
I'll dance to the beat of wounded heroes
The tune leads through the ages
Teaching the stories of the magical night
Seizing times and straying minds

3. Magic Forest

Just moments before the dawn
It's their time to go
One look and
They entered the magic forest
They're left alone

A strange weight surrounded them
It felt like burned ice
All branches
Like fingers they reach to catch them
Leaving their marks

"Hey you little songbirds
Come here little songbirds
We see you little songbirds
And we'll keep you"

Run for your life
She's getting closer
Run for your life
You hear her breathing
Run for your life
Her army's marching
Run for your life
You feel her seeking
Reaching you, hunting you
Hunting all of you

They run deeper into the woods
They wished they could fly
In the moonlight
They saw those lurking soldiers
Creeping by

Her hunters were whispering
And humming an old tune
Like rolling they passed those little seekers
Leaving them alone

"Hey you little songbirds
Come here little songbirds
Where are you little songbirds
Come we'll keep you"

Run for your life
She's getting closer
Run for your life
You hear her breathing
Run for your life
Her army's marching
Run for your life
You feel her seeking
Reaching you, hunting you
Hunting all of you

[Guitar solo - Emil]

"Oh dear children,
Who has brought you here?
Do come in and stay with me.
No harm shall happen to you!"

Run for your life
She's getting closer
Run for your life
You hear her breathing
Run for your life
Her army's marching
Run for your life
You feel her seeking
Reaching you, hunting you
Hunting all of you

4. Agonizing Night

Cries in the night
Wounds of the soul burning times
Like every time
Your mind refuses
Not able to choose it
Don't give up, don't give up
You've got to fight!

Your heart is tainted
Your job is to make it through this agonizing night!

In ancient melody
Hidden key to your memory
Your heart defrosting
In every note playing
You've got to start claiming
It's your will, it's your life
You've got to fight!

Your heart is tainted
Your job is to make it through this agonizing night!

You'll have to decide
And make up your mind
You know it is time for you
To stand up on your own two feet
And dare to dream.

Your heart is tainted
Your job is to make it through this agonizing night!

5. Warning

"Oh, why is the forest luminous tonight?"
Asked the little maiden from her older sister Lilyrose
"Sit here, I will tell you, hear me good, lil' Lau
You can't even think of going there!
Come, I'll keep you close

For now
You will have to follow your heart,
Seek for the star,
Make your shield grow strong,
Knowing right from wrong

And if
The forest welcomes you in
Knowing your sins
Keep your thoughts pure and white
And look to your side

No!
I can't think of walking you in there!
Every single minute being scared
You will have no choice

Listen to me!
They will try to capture you for good
You will have to sing for them forever
You've got the voice

The trees will trick you:
'Never to think!' Illusion's a hint!
The leaves are glass! Beware!
Glaring bright to ensnare.

'Cause if you sing
Oblivion comes
We will be numb, forever cursed to escape
Never to be brave

Promise, don't go in!"

"Lilyrose
You must try to understand
I sing 'cause I can
I keep those leaves satisfied
I will never hide

It's time
For me to go to that land,
Do what I can
And let my energy flow
And keep going strong

I'm just only me"

6. Son Of Rainbow

At the end of June
From dawn to dusk, in vain
The five brothers are waiting for the rain

Calling for the raindrops
Singing songs without words
Hoping soothing sparkly raindrops'll
Reach their world

Ha-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa
Slide down the rainbow
Ha-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa
Only once you go

One of the five brothers
Makes a promise to the rain
It's the one and only fateful wish to make

Shine in five colours
Have your last pouring rain
Take the colours of the rainbow to their place

Ha-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa
Slide down the rainbow
Ha-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa
Only once you go

[Guitar solo intro - Tuomas]
[Guitar solo - Kimmo]
[Guitar solo outro - Tuomas]

Ha-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa
Slide down the rainbow
Ha-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa-i-ja-i-ja-i-jaa
Only once you go

7. I'm Still Here

I'm hearing your heartbeat
My awaited changeling
Everlasting moments, no a sound,
Tell me we'll never meet, my son

Your picture is blurring,
My fading changeling
I'm forever drifting aimlessly
For the day you signed your life away

Can you hear me?
I'm still here.

My changeling
My changeling

Your steps fading away
My wandering changeling
I can picture you in shiny stars
Only that way you are never far

Still hearing your heartbeat
My beloved changeling
In this feeling that is full of grief
I am spent for eternity

Can you hear me?
I'm still here.

My changeling
My changeling

[Keyboard solo - Tuomas]
[Guitar solo - Emil]

My changeling
My changeling

8. Memorial

Pictures that adorn the wall
Cryptic writings guide you through
Find the path and pay the price
Godspeed, my king

Through the mirror and through the wall
Let your mind seek a lot more
Find the path and pay the price
Farewell, my queen

I will see you again in time, my king, in time
I will see you again in time, my queen, in time

Hidden lines of secret words
Walls of painted grey figures
Find the path and pay the price
Farewell, my king

Part of a tale she lost her crown
Inheritance of her bloodline
Find the path and pay the price
Godspeed, my queen

I will see you again in time, my king, in time
I will see you again in time, my queen, in time

By the mountain lie we two
Underneath the grey gravestone
The path is solved and price is paid
Memorial

I will see you again in time, my king, in time
I will see you again in time, my queen, in time

9. Endless Silence

There was a time
You were everyone's confidant
Your mind was full of the torment
To be the one

Their complaints tortured you
With every spoken word
That made you crawl

Secrets, you'll hear alarming secrets
Those words will kill your inner self
Silence, your time in endless silence
Will never ever end

Secrets, you'll hear countless secrets
Those words will kill your inner self
Quiet, be quiet
Your time in silence
Will never ever end

Their need to talk
Gives a lifetime of misery,
Remorse of telling
With life full of enmity

They had to silence you
With needle and thread
They sew your mouth

Secrets, you'll hear alarming secrets
Those words will kill your inner self
Silence, your time in endless silence
Will never ever end

Secrets, you'll hear countless secrets
Those words will kill your inner self
Quiet, be quiet
Your time in silence
Will never ever end

[Guitar solo - Kimmo]
[Keyboard solo - Tuomas]

Secrets, you'll hear alarming secrets
Those words will kill your inner self
Silence, your time in endless silence
Will never ever end

Secrets, you'll hear countless secrets
Those words will kill your inner self
Quiet, be quiet
Your time in silence
Will never ever end

10. Green-Eyed

In your dreams you are invited
Only a few can hear their calling
Wake up, you girl, they're sent for you
Blue sea is going to capture you

You're going to sing with us, green-eyed
We're going to lure you here
Waving drowsy waves
Seeking for broken hearts, wanderers waving goodbye
For the last time

I can hear my thoughts, I'm aching recollections from past life
Waves pull me down, I'm scared I will die
I'm paralyzed inside my mind

You're going to sing with us, green-eyed
We're going to lure you here
Waving drowsy waves
Seeking for broken hearts, wanderers waving goodbye
For the last time

[Guitar and keyboard solos - Tuomas]

I'm going to sing with the green-eyed
I'm going to lure you here

I'm going to sing with the green-eyed
I'm going to lure you here
Chanting drowsy waves
Seeking for broken hearts, wanderers waving goodbye;
I'm sorry
