White Pearl, Black Oceans    [Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]    I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud,  Learned to stay away from the crowd  In my home, my lighthouse...  101 steps, round and dound  New Years Eve, one night in the town  Can change one life into eternity...    All I could see, her eyes,  We got caught in the moment, all of the night  Taken beyond all lines,  In silence leaving 'em all behind    She had found the sails, for the following night  The town, for her, was getting way too small  She promised to be mine  Forever, ... for that one night...    Moments, passion, small defeats  Concealed emotions, found in me  "You gave life to a brand new me..."    Crossing the wintry fields,  The first hour of morning light  Warmed by the flame inside,  The lasting memory of the ending night    I never had a chance to stop what hit me...  What broke my bones and mauled me...  After hours of deep, unwilling sleep... in a cold shelter  Fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed...    A nightmare awakes me, blinking light!  There's no guide, blind ships in the night  Oh blood red moon, eat away the night    Darkness covers my lonely soul,  No one to feed the dying light...    Good morn', oh dreadful day,  I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me...  For the sails of night,  "Please tell me everything's alright..."    My voice in the room broke the silence,  Everybody killed me with their eyes...  What I was to hear made the people cry,  Impossible for me to keep the tears inside    "All on board the White Pearl have died,  Coastal reef have tolled their lives  And you are the light of the night..."    One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground...  Although I never saw the face,  A name was inked in his arm...    Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe  God loves complex irony?  The family name stated I had seen before...  Written on her front door...    "Silence in the courthouse!"  A presence in the room, we both could feel  The father of her unborn child and me    All on board the White Pearl have died,  Coastal reef have tolled their lives  While I was the guide light...  Back in my tower, run, run, run  Light is out, I hope to see  Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me    One step will take me back inside, another sees my end  No one can love a man who guarded the light,  (Guarded the light, one faithful night)  Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free    Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past...  Building new walls inside my eternal night...  Although they took my heart and dried me up  Sometimes I still bleed...    Show me the way (show me the way)  The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs  Too many dead ends I see  No soul can save me  The respect I lost, the measure of a man...    10 000 steps down, round and round  One night at the town and I'm hell bound  Black oceans beneath come and swallow me  All on the board White Pearl had died,  Coastal reef come claim my life  Black oceans beneath come and swallow me    My little tower, seal my fate  Help me pay back, end their hate  Black oceans beneath come and swallow me  One direction, down, down, down  Pitch black night for my old town  Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me    [SPOKEN:]  I hereby commit the body to the deep,  to be turned into corruption  looking for the resurrection of the body,  when the Sea shall give up her dead  and the life of the world to come, through our Lord,  Amen.    these lyrics are submitted by botas
