Shadow Play - Tarja Turunen
Looking at the mirror asking
Questions with old weary eyes
Once a girl who had no name
Dressed as an angel in disguise
From the corner of her bedroom light illuminates
Crawling shadows cut out silhouettes
With the darkness a dancing marionette
Smiled away with such a beauty ever seen before
Drowned by rain of thorns and petals falling at her curtain call
This mortal coil year after year recalled a sad charade
Like a shadow play we can't forget
In the darkness a crying marionette
Make me believe
I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
Alone imprisoned by the echoes of the empty hall
She made a deal with the enemy and let her fences fall
From the dust she build a door to frame new memories
Once a shadow dancing with her fears
Lights the darkness now the puppeteer
Make me believe
I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
There's a world inside we are holding the keys
One day at a time not trying to please
Tell me of anything that is lasting forever
You are your thoughts
What are we waiting for
Make me believe
I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
I want to leave
This place so wrong
It left me terrified to lose
All I am living for
Make me believe
I must go on
Life is a warning
Don't want to risk it anymore
