White Pearl Black Oceans... Lyrics - Reckoning Night - Sonata Arctica

I was born and raised by the sea, Shy yet proud, 

Learned to stay away from the crowd 

In my home, my lighthouse... 

101 steps , round and down 

New Years Eve, one night in the town 

can change one life into eternity... 

All I could see, her eyes, 

we got caught in the moment, all of the night 

Taken beyond all lines, 

in silence leaving 'em all behind 

She had found the sails, for the following night 

The town, for her, was getting way too small 

She promised to be mine 

Forever, for that one night...

Moments, passion, small defeats 

Concealed emotions, found in me 

You gave life to a brand new me... 

Crossing the wintry fields, 

The first hour of morning's light 

Warmed by the flame inside, 

the lasting memory of the ending night 

I never had a chance to stop what hit me... 

What broke my bones and mauled me... 

After hours of deep, unwilling sleep... 

in a cold shelter Fell back in the dark, 

and the hours of the day passed... 

A nightmare awakes me, blinking light! 

There's no guide, blind ships in the night 

Oh blood red moon, eat away the night 

Darkness covers my lonely soul, 

No one to feed the dying light... 

Photos 

Good morn', oh dreadful day, 

I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me... 

For the sails of night, 

Please tell me everything's alright... 

My voice in the room broke the silence, 

Everybody killed me with their eyes... 

What I was to hear made the people cry, 

Impossible for me to keep the tears inside 

All on board the White Pearl have died, 

Coastal reef have tolled their lives 

And you are the light of the night... 

One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground... 

Although I never saw the face, 

A name was inked in his arm... 

Love can be like poetry of demons, 

Or maybe God loves complex irony? 

The family name stated I had seen before... 

Written on her front door... 

Silence in the courthouse! 

A presence sealed the room, we both could feel 

The father of her unborn child and me 

All on board the White Pearl had died, 

Coastal reef had tolled their lives 

While I was the guide light... 

Back in my tower, run, run, run 

Light is out, I hope to see 

Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me 

One step will take me back inside, another sees my end 

No one can love a man who guarded the light 

guarded the light, one faithful night, 

Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free 

Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past... 

Building new walls inside, my eternal night... 

although they took my heart and dried me up 

Sometimes I still bleed... 

Show me the way 

Show me the way 

The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs 

Too many dead ends I see 

I know no soul can save me 

The respect I lost, the measure of a man... 

Ten thousand steps down, round and round 

One night on the town and I'm hell bound 

Black oceans beneath come and swallow me 

All on board the White Pearl had died, 

Coastal reef come claim my life 

Black oceans beneath come and swallow me 

My little tower, seal my fate 

Help me pay back, end their hate 

Black oceans beneath come and swallow me 

One direction, down, down, down 

Pitch black night for my old town 

Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me 

[SPOKEN:] 

I hereby, commit my body to the deep 

To return to the corruption 

Looking for the resurrection of the body 

When the sea shall give up her dead 

And the life of the road to come through our Lord 

Amen
