Sonata Arctica - They follow

I walk with the crowd alone
Unseen or am I imagining?
It's easy to keep hiding at home
Still healing

I teach myself how to stay calm
When they wish to behold me
They may take and divide my time
The secret, no one told me

Like creatures of the night
They follow
Bearing the wrong side
Is hard for me sometimes

This need I still can recognise
To swim in the oceans of vanity
Some of us enjoy the rain
And thunder

For me all the shadows are bright
I'm burning in the starlight and I
Hope to feel light as a kite
And fly towards the twilight of my life

Like creatures of the night
They follow
Bearing the wrong side
Is hard for me sometimes

And now they
Have disappointed my broken heart
I'm dancing, they're demanding
The unkown and innocent
Days are gone
Taken without asking

Safe, futher away
I'll disappear like a
Mountain without a trace
They tied a knot on my life
It gets tighter when I try to hide

A face of newly wedded clown
Doesn't offer you the high
Now you're lower than the poor
Souls you feed

Built the walls out of silence
I will not be taken there anymore
What is wrong with your eyes?
Sad for the right reasons?
I'll show you the ashes of life

No empathy behind your eyes
Sleeping like an angel every night
I don't feel safe
Can't disappear without
Getting my last embrace
They tied a knot on my life
It gets tighter when I try to hide

I don't feel safe, futher away
Can't disappear without
Getting my last embrace
Once the time finally comes
Will they dig me up from
My unmarked grave?
