Sonata Arctica

Rise a Night

Vast were the storms, no hope for the dying

Home once so blue, a shade of grey in the dark

Then a well-lettered man saw a smile on a dolphin

It planted a thought with the eye of its mind

You could build a ship, sail the stars

Find a new home for all of us

Fare in the night

Find the light

We have sealed the fate of our kind

We have lost this fight

Fly in the dark, and find a warm, blue light

One to harbour life

A hope arise anew

Sailing forth, the Planet Blue will fill our needs

We'll go in peace and ask them to

Take us to their leaders, my friend

And then we'll kill them all!

Enslave their poor!

And inflict fear

Bring the all seeing Eye of Providence down here

We found discarded beauty

These creatures hate their home?

The locals called this all Planet Earth

Close their curtains, like a soldier does

You're a hero for all of us!

Kneel as light

Rise a night

A new dawn of life for our kind

We will rise tonight

Wooo…

We will win this day

Their leaders, knights

We control their minds

Sailed in the dark, and found their warm, blue light

Can still harbour life

Rise a night…
