paroles de chanson The Ruins of My Life - Sonata Arctica

The Land was then young, I was fighting for it like everyone
Ready to die for the cause, for my King, for my Lord

You were my reason to live, to fight another day
You were the only one for me, and you were only for me

Another year I would be gone
The war was leading us so far apart
I built a house to keep you there
Waiting for me, waiting...

No-one remembers my face or my name
In a dream, I'd stay here forever
Headstone on my grave, words carved in vain
All these wounds only heal when I'm home

The Taste of their blood in my mouth, and the scent of victory
Scarred my soul for life, This man was not me

Love is a game for the weak to play, they said
I loved and love made me many times stronger

Another year I would be gone
The war was leading us so far apart
I built a house to keep you there
Waiting for me, waiting...

No-one remembers my face or my name
In a dream, I'd stay here forever
Headstone on my grave, words carved in vain
All these wounds only heal when I'm home

Everything ends... everything dies...
Now I know the Legends only lived in his lies."

My Long and winding road, river and trees by the hills we lived on
The ruins of my life I find, a signetring on the ashes
I know my Lord betrayed me, my reason to live was taken away
I carry my loved one to the hills we loved, for the last time...
I close your eyes, kiss you goodbye
The only one who ever loved me
I'm crushed inside, darling, my life...
It shall end here...
Headstone on your grave, words carved in vain
Now the darkness covers me...
