5. Gravenimage Songtext
von Sonata Arctica

We met that night
When the sea ran high
And I craved for more
Of that near-love experience
Those who the music hath then joined together
Are now but asunder

Remember me
When I lit the fire
To keep us warm
On a cold winter morning
Now I pass through the moment
Can I still recognize a beautiful melody

I play a note
But hear no sound
Have I lost my love or the wings I found
When I was young
And eager to please anyone who had time


Needed to sing the very notes I heard
Had to stay in the shadows
And seek for the loneliness

Nevertheless, the price
Was higher than I realized
I was to live alone
Ready to make the sacrifice
Was I in love with you

My old heart
Little harder again
Once the light goes out
Everything ends
It is time

Ready to cause a scene
Ready to make the sacrifice
Ready to play the note
Ready to end the final show
The only thing I know


The pain is here
(The pain is here)
To stay I fear
(To stay I fear)
In my eyes
(In my eyes)
I can change one note and make you cry
In this state of mind
Silence is a crime

How can life be so feigned and cold
I′ve answered the call of every melody lovingly
Did I find the answers to all my questions
Or a Gravenimage of me

If I found the hidden fountain
Drank the wisdom from its deep
Would I have the time to save me
Would I have them both to keep
