Sonata Arctica - The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Real Puppet lyrics

rate me

So many years ago, many more than I'd

Even care to bear in my mind

From the darkest of all places I found you

All the limbs in their right places

and a heart made of real gold

Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind.

Every night I returned to watch them

The master and the puppet in the show He said: "Oh no, I cannot sell him...

Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."

Please, sell me your puppet, sir.

Name your price oh please,

Whatever you may ask,

tenfold the price I pay

"Did I not make it clear?

This debate is over.

I will never part from this puppet, my son..."

With hungry eyes I followed them all night

The blind master and the puppet he had made

"No, sir, to sell is not my will!"

the doll's mine, even if I have to kill...

So it shall be...if this is what it takes

"Oh, greed's truly blinder than me..."

"Heart of gold is what you wish for?"

"So, this little boy...wants to be.. a puppet, for real..."

So I have a golden heart

Now only needing the voice of the master

Never feel hunger, never grow older

My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show

It's so hard to remember my life

The times before the show

can I ever cut of the strings?

"Take a bow, now dance and sing..."

Would you turn me to a child again?

"No, never, I am your Guide."

You can see a small grin on the face

of the master, when the puppet's in his place

Be careful what you wish for

Wishes might come alive

The twines are pulling me every day and night...

The show, the glitter and all the fame

I'd give a away for a life

Some things can end with a word, they say

This only ends with a sharp knife.
