Sonata Arctica - They Follow lyrics

I walk with the crowd, alone,

Unseen, or am I imagining?

it's easy keep hiding at home

Still healing

I teach myself how to stay calm

When they wish to behold me

They may, take and divide my time

The secret, no one told me...

Like creatures of the night, they follow...

Bearing the wrong side

Is hard for me sometimes

This need I still can recognize

To swim in the oceans of vanity

Some of us enjoy the rain

Choir: and thunder

For me all the shadows are bright

I'm burning in the starlight and I

Hope to feel light as a kite

And fly towards the twilight of my life

Like creatures of the night, they follow...

Bearing the wrong side

Is hard for me sometimes

And now they

have disappointed my broken heart

I'm dancing, they're demanding

The unknown and innocent days are gone

Taken without asking

Safe, further away,

I'll disappear like a mountain without a trace

They tied a knot on my life

It gets tighter when I try to hide.

"They live like the vultures, for a filthy anecdote

They go thru my bones to find just one odd note

I welcomed them kindly, thus they have the right

To leave me in darkness with my shattered heart"

A face of a newly wedded clown

Doesn’t offer you the high

Now you're lower than the poor souls you feed

Built the walls out of silence

I will not be taken there anymore

What is wrong with your eyes?

Sad for the right reasons?

I'll show you the ashes of life

No empathy behind your eyes

Sleeping like an angel every night

I don't feel Safe,

Can’t disappear without getting my last embrace

They tied a knot on my life

It gets tighter when I try to hide.

Safe, further away,

Can’t disappear without getting my last embrace

Once the time finally comes

Will they dig me up from my unmarked grave?
