Sonata Arctica - Flag In The Ground lyrics

rate me

Leaving my life behind <br />My young love and the unborn <br />Only have a lock of her hair... <br />and burning love inside <br /> <br />After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights, <br />the sails are lit by the lights of Boston <br />...and here we go... <br />Off the ship! Towards the adventure, <br />the one to define our lives. <br />Daily grind and a tiny room. <br /> <br />"I got here safe, Love. <br />I have an address, until spring, then I shall race for the land, <br />hope to hear from you soon..." <br /> <br />Her letter reads... <br /> <br />"Please let me know everything's alright <br />Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight <br />every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me. <br />Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me..." <br /> <br />"Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream. <br />The best horse I've ever seen, <br />a carriage and everything I need... <br />I will make my way to the great unknown <br />Every moment I wish you were here with me now... <br /> <br />"Please let me know everything's alright...." <br /> <br />"No, I'm not a stranger, among the people in here... <br />Yet I have never felt so alone... <br />At high noon the sound will boom, <br />and I will start racing for the <br />land we can call home." <br /> <br />"I stuck my... <br />flag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting, <br />I've never felt so proud, Love! <br />We are free from eternal serfdom! <br />I'm gonna bring you home, my light!" <br /> <br />"nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. SOLO!" <br />"five, four, three, two, together forever! SOLO!" <br /> <br />I made my way into the great unknown <br />Land by the river, and a new built home. <br />I am the land and the land is me <br />Freedom is everything and we are free <br /> <br />I made my way into the great unknown <br />Land by the river, and a new built home. <br />Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising <br />I hold you and know that we are free...<br /><br />
