Polaris lyrics by Stratovarius
1. Deep Unknown
Taking a chance Go again To the great unknown Facing your fears and feel what´s on your mind when you´re alone Fall into the sea So you will be free Into the deep You disappear Dive deeper into the ocean You´ll find more about your emotions As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines Into the deep unknown--- Need to breath, might drown You can´t inhale No one around, sliding down Time passes by, you can not fail As light fades away There´s so much to gain You´re holding on It´s not in vain Dive deeper into the ocean You´ll find more about your emotions As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines Dive deeper into the ocean You´ll find more about your emotions As you go far beyond imaginary borderlines
2. Falling Star
Feel the night time growing nearer From amidst the darkness I will start my flight See the stars are shining clearer Turn around before you´re blinded by the light I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice There is nothing that can stop me Now I ride above the sky, it cannot hold me back I dive within the deepest darkest space See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there No one can ever catch the falling star Feel the heat is growing stronger Everything that´s in my way will be destroyed See my journey´s growing longer For eternity I´m doomed within the void I am made of burning flame, cast from coldest ice There is nothing that can stop me Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back I dive within the deepest darkest space See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there No one can ever catch the falling star Now I ride above the sky, It cannot hold me back I dive within the deepest darkest space See I vanish in the light, you cannot find me there No one can ever catch the falling star
3. King Of Nothing
In the year before we lost our empire We were children on the march We were told we had to serve our empire and die In our wake we only left destruction Sent their children to the graves In the year before we lost our empire and died The war was lost but we went on Our king was dead and in the end nobody won We were told to march to death and glory We were told it´s for our land In the end our tribe was left with nothing and died In the time when all our hearts were frozen We were soldiers for the king In our wake we left their castles burning and died The war was lost but we went on And when the harvest came we found our king was gone The war was lost but we went on And when we paid the price we found our king was gone The war was lost but we fought on The war was lost and in the end nobody won
4. Blind
When you tell me that your truth will set me free Don´t believe you and I wish you´d let me be From the cradle to the grave I feel your pain But I´m trying to erase you from my brain Carry me to the shore, Carry me, I can´t stand it anymore I am blind, but I can see you in my mind I am blind, but I can see you I am blind When you say you have a way to make me talk I just wanna turn around and start to walk Can´t you see, don´t want to be inside your mind Set me free leave me be and make me blind Carry me to the shore, Carry me, I can´t stand it anymore I am blind, but I can see you in my mind I am blind, but I can see you I am blind I am blind, but I can see you in my mind I am blind, but I can see you I am blind I am blind, but I can see you in my mind I am blind, but I can see you I am blind
5. Winter Skies
Walking by a frozen lake Silent snow in the air Dreaming of the summer day Carry me till I´m there Winter skies, leave me alone When I lose my way Winter skies you call me home Winter skies, leave me alone When I lose my way Winter skies you call me home Bring me back when I am lost Far from your embrace Bring me silence, bring me frost Your familiar face Winter skies, leave me alone When I lose my way, northern star You call me home Winter skies, leave me alone When I lose my way Northern land You are my home Winter skies, leave me alone When I lose my way Northern land You are my home
6. Forever Is Today
I´m dreaming awake, My thoughts won´t let me go Feels like my mind has turned into my foe The fear of tomorrow, The fear of today I´m trying to stay, I´m trying to run away My life is at stake, My time is running out Feels like I live my life in constant doubt The fear of tomorrow, The fear of today I´m trying to stay, I´m trying to run away Each moment shall pass, Will never return Your fate is what you make of it So seize your day I will waste no more time Leave my worries behind I live for this moment alone Let me tell you my friend, All things come to an end Forever is today So don´t delay I will waste no more time, Leave my worries behind I live for this moment alone Let me tell you my friend, All things come to an end Forever is today So don´t delay
7. Higher We Go
Feeling so sad and tense Confusion on my mind Nothing makes any sense Things are entwined Hopeless soul in the haze Trying to find the way Out of this wicked maze To a new day We will rise out of agony And find a way to victory Higher we go Climbing up to the skies Higher we go A new day will arise When all is crashing down I know the time will heal In this insanity We´ll find what is real Together we are so strong Holding our heads up high We will carry on ´Til the day we die We will rise out of agony And find a way to victory Higher we go Climbing up to the skies Higher we go A new day will arise Higher we go Climbing up to the skies Higher we go A new day will arise
8. Somehow Precious
Yesterday Seems so far away Some projection in a dream Sweaty sheets I am back to reality I walk out to my own scream All the bad things that were said Will not leave me be I need to get them out of my head What have I said? What have I done? Can I have another chance? What I said late No one has won Give me a glance don´t deny That I am somehow precious to you And today I still feel the same Even though you are so near I try to talk my lips are whispering now your name but the words have seem to disappear All the bad things that I said Will not leave me be Once again I´m all alone in my bed What have I said? What have I done? Can I have another chance? What I said late No one has won Give me a glance Don´t deny That I am somehow precious to you What have I said? What have I done? Can I have another chance? What I said late No one has won Give me a glance Don´t deny That I am somehow precious to you That I am somehow precious to you
9. Emancipation Suite: I Dusk
I´m staring at the last rays of the sun, The final night´s begun Shadows fall and hide the earth beneath them My land has fallen deep into the hands Of men with evil plans Times have gone, when peace reigned over our lands It´s time to break these chains and head to freedom It wont be long I swear to you I will see I will be I´ll be free A new day will be dawning Emancipation - I will break free Determination - Just leave me be Into the darkness I have been confined The last one of my kind Wayward soul still fighting to be set free It´s time to break these chains and head to freedom It wont be long I swear to you I will see, I will be, I´ll be free A new day will be dawning Emancipation - I will break free Determination - Just leave me be
10. Emancipation Suite: II Dawn
Under burning sky Flames are rising high Ground is turning red, All but one is dead Dying man his hands Above his head Through the ruthless night, Fought with all his might Made his final stand, Made the last demand Paid the price, His dying time´s at hand Nothing left to feel, Nothing left to hear Heroes die alone Then he sees First light Dawning
11. When Mountains Fall
It was just like yesterday when you choose to leave and I to stay It was a warm and sunny day but my heart felt as heavy as stone Never told me where you went then again I never try to ask Now I know in life you have one chance and you better use it well When the mountains fall and the oceans ?flood? I´m still in search of you only thing I want to say I´m still in love with you Finally I found your place sadly I came three summers late Now I´m see them ?by a grade? and I sing this song for you when the mountains fall and the oceans I´m still in search of you only thing i want to say I´m still in love with you One last thing I have to say I´m still in love with you
