SONATA ARCTICA LYRICS

1. The Last Amazing Grays (Single Edit)

I can feel my heart is beating...still
I can see you with my eyes, I still see.
But I can't run the way my children can
Can't accept the helping hand, leave me

You are the strong one, trust in me
You must lead instead of me, now
There's no time, don't hesitate
Or you will also find your fate.

I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied?
Leaving the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now.

In the eyes of every newborn, I see the future
Life is just a phase.
I close my eyes and see them all here beside me.
The last amazing grays...

In the eyes of every newborn, I see the past times
A familiar face
I close my eyes and see them, waiting for me
Amongst the amazing grays

Mountain sings to me for this last time, marking the moment
I have found my place
I closed my eyes and joined them, guarding the young
Amongst the amazing grays

2. Flag In the Ground

Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair...
and burning love inside

After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights,
the sails are lit by the lights of Boston
...and here we go...

Off the ship! Towards the adventure, the one to define our lives.
Daily grind and a tiny room.

"I got here safe, Love.
I have an address, until spring, then I shall race for the land, hope to hear from you soon..."

Her letter reads...

"Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me.
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..."

"Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream.
The best horse I've ever seen, a carriage and everything I need...
I will make my way to the great unknown
Every moment I wish you were here with me now...

"Please let me know everything's alright...."

"No, I'm not a stranger, among the people in here...
Yet I have never felt so alone...
At high noon the sound will boom, and I will start racing for the land we can call home."

"I stuck my... flag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting,
I've never felt so proud, Love!
We are free from eternal serfdom!
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!"

"Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. SOLO!"
"Five, four, three, two, together forever! SOLO!"

I made my way into the great unknown

Land by the river, and a new built home.
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free

I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free...

3. The Last Amazing Grays (Orchestral version)

The mystery of death before us
Soon every night can bring the light
And close my eyes
Sometimes life in here's too limited
Sometimes we don't care at all
Sometimes

Time will change the familiar face
Brightest colors fade to grey
The fear is real
One winters day brings the clarity

I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied
Living the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now

I can feel my heart is beating... still
I can see you with my eyes... I still see
But I can't run the way my children can
Can't accept the helping hand...
Leave me

You're the strong one, trust in me
You must lead instead of me, now
There's no time don't hesitate
Or you will also find your fate

I feel the time is catching up with us
How many days until its hunger is satisfied
Living the final golden days
We are the last amazing grays
Hoping the young will lead the pack now

In the eyes of every newborn
I see the future
Life is just a phase
I close my eyes
Deceiving all here beside me
The last amazing grays

In the eyes of every newborn
I see the past times
All familiar face
I close my eyes and see them
Waiting for me
Amongst the amazing grays

[Instrumental]

Mountain sings to me for this last time
Marking the moment
I have found my place
I close my eyes and join them
Guarding the young
Amongst the amazing grays
