Red Ink Songtext
von Princeton (Finnish prog-rock)

Feels like forever
From the place where no one′s free
I can still feel the blade forcing me to kneel

So I close my eyes
Close my eyes to see what I hide from everyone
I had the coin without the other side

The walls are falling down
They won't let me go
I wish the bullets were of silver instead

It felt like forever
Wouldn′t show it but I saw the fear
Looking over my shoulder all the time, wanting to disappear

I see them all around
They won't let me go
Too many pages were written in red

Time is nothing but a medicine
It numbs but doesn't heal the heart
I just hope it tells me where to start


Part of my soul is gone
But I keep on walking through the dark
Like a tired soldier before the dawn
I′m sleeping awake, lights on
′Cause I keep on seeing the ghosts of the past
And the tired soldier, pale and drawn

I'm drawn to bygone
Withdrawn since my black swan

No one has a time machine
The only white page is ahead
I open my eyes despite what I′ve seen
I won't be misled

Part of my soul is gone
But I keep on walking through the dark
Like a tired soldier before the dawn
I′m sleeping awake, lights on
'Cause I keep on seeing the ghosts of the past
And the tired soldier

Part of my soul is gone
I keep on walking through the dark
Like a tired soldier before the dawn
I′m sleeping awake, lights on
I'm seeing the ghosts of the past
Just like a phoenix I must be reborn


I've been waiting way too long for tomorrow
I′ve been dreaming way too long in my sorrow
