Fly with the black swan
by Sonata Arctica

Cry for help...
Once I got caught in an avalanche,
I must have died,
When a Black Swan flew to the rescue and cried
An offer I could not refuse, now I´m working on the other side.
Well, I flew with the bird then, we flew all night
And I got to see my prison from a thousand feet high.
Buy me a drink, and I tell you
´bout the Black Swan.
Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal
a soul from, to buy more time.
Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive,
I buy my time; need you to fly on the Black Swan.
The date is set, we all must face it
Door to door, seeking salvation
--- I must, for die I wish not
My hopes stay afloat when you give in to the
Silver lining, sharp and so cold
Anger fades into a vague smile
---you see, I´m ready to do it for everyone
I stabbed you in the back, who will save you now...
Don´t worry, I´ve done this before
It´ll hurt like hell and leave you sore
No use escaping, hold on to your ticket of gold
and close your eyes...
One day I know you will sell your soul
And trade all you are for silver and gold...
You´ll get an odd advice from a stranger
Take it, from me, with love...
Once I was in love with someone like you, Engaged to be whole,
got torn out of your memories, covered in snow...
I need to find a way to pass on the gift I once received
I´m ready to face it...
I´ll take my chances, if I am
returning to the deep
dark snow grave, so be it
I-should-not-rest-now...but forever!
I´ll feed... - the ferryman´s creed.
with an empty promise for my lost soul...
Must keep those black wings folded, until the darkest night
I steal a soul from you to buy me some time
Pouring boiling water on a solid frozen flower
Black nailed finger of the creator
Must keep those black wings folded, until the time is right, to find the one whom I can steal
a soul from, to buy more time
Must keep my secrets untold, until the wrongs are right, the only one I could deceive,
I served my time, need you to fly with the Black Swan.
Once I got caught in an avalanche,
