Sonata Arctica - In Black And White Lyrics

Complimentary "In Black And White" Ringtone

I'm a doorman at my Death Row, you faceless foe of heart 
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow, white feather in the tar.... 
a tearstain on your frozen face... 
A life - in black and white 

You slaughtered my soul again 
Tried my best to be worth your two realities 
You're breaking my heart again 
To squeeze out a rhyme, I bid you farewell 

Stupidity, ignorance, leave a light on for the blind 

Now I will hit you where it hurts 
Take what is rightfully mine, I need a sign 
That you're worth fighting for 
Winning or losing, alone 
I am only a pawn 

I'm tired of pleasing you 
Discolored this emptiness, wrapped in a scheme 
I ....delayed my dreams to see 
---Who blinded your eyes from things that are real... 

For me, I believe in the taste of bitter sweet 
Dying fountains full of stories untold 
After a history of "losses" attained the victory where it occurred 
Lips so cold, the final testing ground for beautiful words 

Diving in the seas of sin, without knowing where lies the bottom 
Idle moments spawned you idle people, no morality, no soul. 

Sabotage or a fatal mistake? 
Scandal born, new race 
Unauthorized use, not stealing? 
We've no rights, just passion and rage... 

People you know, on your side, touching concern 
Stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn 
Take a bow, take the blame, soon you'll wake up screaming your nightmare's name... 

Now I will hit you where it hurts 
Take what is rightfully mine, I need a sign 
That you're worth fighting for 
Winning and losing, alone 
I am only a pawn 

People you know, on your side, touching concern 
Stand on a chair and scream as the tables turn 
Always a minute too late, now feel the burn 
Wake up, friend, you're screaming the name of the 

Doorman of my Death row, you faceless foe of the heart 
An accent, a drop of darkest blood on snow, white feather in the tar.... 
Tearstains on my frozen face, follow the wicked trail if you 
Wish you see the sum of all my fears in many shades of gray 
You’ll see... 
Your dreams in Black and white....Nightmares in Black and White... 
Sweet dreams in Black and White...Your life is Black and White...
