My Dream's But A Drop Of Fuel For A Nightmare

Sonata Arctica - My Dream's But a Drop of Fuel For a Nightmare

Unia (2007)

My painted face

I'm a clown

and I'm laughing while my dream turns into a nightmare

fade away

I'm asleep

not too deep...

The walls of night

have left me scarred

the broken glass

I stepped on, twice

the ardent spirits'

rusty edge, decapitate me...

I can't sleep

fear darkness

go through the motions, did I fall asleep?

I'm bowling

the old nine pin, a sign unwanted...

Now I'm a target

I'm hot and frozen

stormy rain I'm stuck in an elevator

wet from the muddy water

breathing hot air, winds convey me...

bababababaaaa...

the number talks and I cry in my own Hell....

bababababaaaa...

Wide awake, I'm asleep, see a friend as a ghost

I'm skating with a seal

the tarantula, the fly, the broken ring

the dusty little flea

an ugly giant

a disappointed child

here comes a rabid snake

the broken violin, a wild ballet

Shakespeare and company

refuse to kill the kitten scratching me...

I'm falling

I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling... - awake

You know, if you believe the dreams

the nightly visions, worlds entwined

then you also fear your shadow

paranoia, part two...

All the good / things in my life dwell / in my mind

Took a wrong lane, every day, I hear myself / say

Sickening's this feeling, my life, my hopes, my dream's but a drop of fuel for a nightmare

they all turn out the same

My destiny, my flame

believing is control?

no

the painting comes alive

takes me inside a world without a name

a place beyond compare

Believe the dreams

that let you sleep

the broken glass

you need to sweep

The book you read

if you found an explanation

to help you in any way

you are your own prison

Woke up today; the good and the bad and the ugly dreams are gone

...jumped off the carousel

bababababaaaa...
