Sonata Arctica - The Cage

the song from Sonata Arctica's album Winterheart's Guild


-------------------------------------------

A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door
Suddenly I realised what locks are for
No trusting them anymore, Lights - are - out

Empty the stare, innocent and unaware,
Dragged out from my home, my lair
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me

The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you´ve gotta set me free..

The Dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
Go around and see another side of the tree
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me

Fear in the dark, I advice you
can´t see the eyes, the glow behind you
... it´s my song they now sing to you
You stand no chance...

They´ll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free,
It´s my minions vs.thee
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me

The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you´ve gotta set me free..

The Dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
Go around and see another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free, howl and (dream)

The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
Run around and see another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can´t tame me...

You will remember the day you crossed my path
Leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath
What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel
I´ll see that all the hate you spread returns to you, you, back to you...

The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me, you´ve gotta set me free..

The first song of SA I heard. :)

[Codyray1992]

This is probably my favorite Sonata Arctica song. The images that flash through my head as I listen just fill me with a passionate rage.

I don't know what you all see but, here's what goes through my mind.

I see a caged wolf, throughout the entire song being abused until unconciousness where it dreams. Until the end where it's pack basically tear through everyone there to free it. The final chorus is it being finally freed, running through the hills it dreamed of. Brings me to tears every time.

To those that don't get it: Every Sonata Arctica album has a song that is somehow related to wolves. This is one of them.

@dw42d22 Thank you.

[Codyray1992]

By the way, how about we take this to Private Messages so we don't fill a perfectly good song with our pointless comments, I don't care what you have to say, I've just been using you to vent some steam, and you probably don't care what I say, if you do then you're a fool to care what a random stranger on the internet says.

[Codyray1992]

@anonymousawaitsu That's nice, now run along like a good little boy and whine some more about how nothing is exactly what you want and thus "Something for faggots"

[anonymousawaitsu]

@Codyray1992 whatever. its people like you who make the film world a shitty place. no one has good story's anymore. you guys are just fucking shit up

[Codyray1992]

@anonymousawaitsu And why should that matter? Say an animator wants make a flying block of cheese to smash into a walrus on the moon, it's their imagination, they can do whatever they want there, and that's what happens in mine, You're input is neither required, nor appreciated in this case.

[anonymousawaitsu]

@Codyray1992 well. i stand corrected your not just a fag. your one of the biggest. haha. but whats with the gay story? i mean.. it does make sense. wolfs dont have feeling you know. they have a instict. they dont even know what a hill is. and they dont dream

[Codyray1992]

@anonymousawaitsu Thanks bro, love you too. Maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass you could receive that love from others too.

*Reads profile* Yep, I definitely hit the mark on the head with you, show a little respect and you might receive that as well. Good day.

[anonymousawaitsu]

@Codyray1992 you sir. are a faggot

[DallasMage1]
