Sonata Arctica - Fly with the Black Swan Lyrics

Send "Fly with the Black Swan" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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 
a soul from you to buy me some time 

pouring boiling water on a solid frozen flower 
Black nailed finger of the creator 

I take a bow, thank for this opportunity 
But I've given the last ride for all those close to kin 

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
