Ain't Your Fairytale
Sonata Arctica Lyrics

The ones losing justice
Those who have lost justice or have been wronged will be praying for justice their entire lives.

Will pray for it all their lives
Their prayers for justice will be continuous throughout their lifetime.

They can and they will skin us
The unjust people will harm and take advantage of us.

Oh, one day
One day, the unjust people will face the consequences of their actions.

Oh, can you hear their cries?
The cries of the people who were wronged can be heard as they pray for justice.

As far as the men can run from us
No matter how far the unjust men run from us, we will follow them and find them.

We're following the trail of blood
We're following the trail of all the harm and abuse that the unjust people have done to us and others.

So hunt, my young ones
We must hunt and bring justice to those who have done wrong, especially for the sake of the younger generation.

I have always known the storm would come
I have always been aware that there would come a time where justice would need to be served.

Listen now my young ones
The younger generation should pay attention and learn from what has happened in the past.

This is not a story I tell
This is not a fairy tale, but a real tragedy of injustice.

Of midnight, moon and sun
It's not a romantic story of night and day; it's harsh reality.

Are you ready to walk the forbidden road?
Are you prepared to face the difficult path ahead for the sake of justice?

Learn again what we tried to forget?
Should we revisit the traumatic memories and tragedies that we once tried to forget to learn from them?

the dark, and I'll take over you
We must confront the darkness of the past and let it guide us towards true justice.

We had a common past, an ancient bond
There was once a shared history and connection between our people.

That people once broke
Unfortunately, those ties were broken by the unjust actions of some.

We would only take what we need,
Our people only took what was necessary to survive and sustain their livelihoods.

They would harvest our wheat
The unjust people would take advantage of us and our resources.

But they hunted us all
Regardless of how little we took, the unjust people hunted us down and took advantage of our vulnerability.

We ended the lives of their past times
We brought an end to the unjust people's past actions and ways of life.

and like times ago
Similar to the past, one generation after another, justice must be fought for.

the ones are feeding the soul
The younger generation, who are the future, are the ones that must nourish our spirit and continue the fight for justice.

But the war still went on
Even though we were able to bring about a change, the fight for justice never truly ends.

Praying for the moon, hiding for the day
We must keep our faith and pray for justice, while still hiding from those who wish to harm us.

These might be our last times
We're living in a dangerous time where our fate, and that of justice, is uncertain.

I am gonna see you taken away
The impending danger may lead to separation and loss of lives.

Heading for the dawn of our way of life
We're moving towards a new beginning, where justice will become a way of life.

You're welcome to give it your best try
Even those who oppose justice are welcome to try and challenge us, but they will not succeed.

Look me in the eyes of wolf
Do not be afraid of us, but look us in the eye as equals and with respect.

and This ain't your fairy tale
This is no longer a romantic story or a fairy tale, but the harsh reality of seeking justice.

It took so many years to teach them
It took many years to try and explain the importance of justice in society to others.

How to cry wolf
We had to teach others how to ask for help and alert others of potential harm.

We made the people serve the purpose
We put our trust in people to help fight for justice, and they did their part.

Those ignorant fools (I am a fool!)
However, there were still those who were ignorant and did not understand the importance of justice and thought we were foolish for fighting for it.

It's not what's been done
Our fight for justice is not just about correcting past wrongs but ensuring a better future for all.

use something you've learned
Take what you've learned from our history and continue the fight for justice.

I've learned from the ones above you
I have learned from those who came before me, who fought for justice and the betterment of society.

Fear is your deepest wisdom
Fear can sometimes be a powerful motivator and can guide us in the right direction.

For these last days
In these final days, we must not give up on our fight for justice.

On your last day, remember
On the day of reckoning, we must reflect on our actions and whether we lived a life of justice or not.

We never cried
We never gave up on our fight for justice, even in the most trying times.

It does not exist for us
We don't know what it's like not to fight for justice and a better future.

The don't fear the wolf,
Do not fear us, but respect us for our fight and determination for justice.

But the wild within
Fear and respect the power of nature and the inner strength within all of us.

No glory to the way this must end
There is no glory in the way this conflict will end, but it's a necessary and difficult journey towards justice and peace.

This is the story I told
This is the true story of what happened and what we must learn from it.

I'm falling before you
I, the storyteller, am humbled and falling at your feet in hopes that you will listen, learn, and continue the fight for justice.

The pack they'll always feed is back!
The younger generation, the future, will always continue to nourish and strengthen our fight for justice.
