Don't Say a Word
Sonata Arctica Lyrics

I am your poison candy gram
I am a toxic influence on you, something that is meant to bring bad things into your life.

The love that's meant to fade away
Our love was destined to be short-lived and not meant to last forever.

Vade retro, alter ego
Get out of my mind, inner demon.

Move aside I'm choking on this life
I need to push my difficulties away to survive and not let them overpower me.

I think I tolerate your hate
I can handle your negativity towards me, as long as it means that you fear me.

As long as you're afraid
I thrive on your fear and intimidation, it empowers me.

All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day
I am willing to endure pain and heartache every day just to be with you.

Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
I'm holding a funeral for a broken promise, done under the light of the full moon.

Mortally wounded, feeling sheltered me
I feel protected while dying, as though I’m dying to escape something.

Once again my shadow will enter your life
I will return to haunt you again, just like my shadow follows me wherever I go.

Time to walk with me the last mile
It's time for you to face your end, and walk with me to your final destination.

I read the book about a man, the love, the women, how they die
I've read a book about a man's love for a woman, and how they eventually die.

How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I was ignored, just like the headless doves that cry in mourning for their lost heads.

I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
I feel insane when I look at myself in the mirror, especially when I am at my lowest.

I spent a year in love before I realized it's me
I only realized that I was in love with myself, and not someone else, after a year had passed.

Open your blue eyes tell me that you love me, whore
I want you to confess your love for me, even though I know you're lying and have been unfaithful.

Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
I want to believe you love me, even though I know deep down it's not true.

Broke the vow I thought you made my angel why
Why did you break your promise to me, the one I thought you had made as my angel?

Could I let you wait out the night?
Should I let you survive until morning?

Mother always said: "My son, do the noble thing"
My mother always told me to act with honor and integrity.

You have to finish what you started
If you start something, it's your responsibility to see it through to the end.

No matter what, now, sit watch and learn
No matter what happens, I will sit and watch as you experience the consequences of your actions.

Cannot keep your part of the deal
You didn't keep your end of the bargain.

So don't say a word, don't say a word
You don't need to say anything, because I already know the truth.

It won't be long now love, like mist I slowly feel the room
Death is approaching and I can feel it closing in, like mist filling the room.

I place a black candle on your chest
I'm performing a ritual to symbolize your imminent death, placing a black candle on your chest.

The path of night its manifest
The darkness of death is becoming more and more evident.

I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
I never wanted us to be stuck in this frozen and unresponsive phase of our relationship.

It wasn't me who ran away, you made me stray
I didn't leave you, but your actions made me stray away from you.

Your knight is nowhere near
The person who could have saved you is not coming to your rescue.

Strawberry blonde your stranglehold
Your hold over me, with your sweet, innocent looks, is suffocating.

On my heart is bound to end
I know this relationship is doomed to come to an end.

I suppose, life sometimes
I acknowledge that, at times, life can be very unpredictable and unfair.

It doesn't go the way it was meant
Life can go in a different direction, one that was not necessarily intended or desired.

Though you never were a believer
Even though you never believed in me, I still hold onto hope.

I assure you, I won't die before you
I am determined to outlive you, no matter what.

You read the book now
You're experiencing what the book was talking about.

The part "ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
The part of the book that talks about the end of the physical body.

Short is the flight of this little sparkle
Life is fleeting and passes by so quickly, like a small spark.

Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
I know what love should feel like, but I can't seem to experience it.

I will carpe the diem while it's still here
I will seize the present moment and live it to the fullest, while I still can.

And see how the fear of death becomes her
I want to witness how the fear of death affects the person I am with.

We had it all so sweet
We had everything going for us and it was great.

Made for me, you, indeed
We were meant for each other, there was no question about that.

Big secrets, small the lie
There were big secrets, but it was the small lies that hurt the most.

Don't cry for me, oh, argentite
Don't shed tears for me, oh silver white.

No words you say tonight
There's nothing you can say to make things right tonight.

Can make this be alright
There's no way to fix what has happened.

I'll help you follow through
I'll assist you in seeing this through until the end.

Remember this: Pacta sunt servanda
Remember this: agreements must be kept if they are to mean anything.

The wounds are too deep
The injuries are too severe, the pain too great.

I need to keep the scars
I cannot let go of the memories, they will always remain as scars.

To prove there was a time
To show that there was a moment when I cared deeply about something.

When I loved something more than life
When I was capable of loving something more than myself and my own life.

Unlike the last time here
This time it will be different.

I now have the means and a will sincere
I am now equipped with the resources and the determination to follow through with my plans.

Unfortunate for you, this make me your God
It's unfortunate for you, but this situation puts me in a position of power over you, like a God.

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
As you die, don't ever dare say that you love me, you unfaithful woman.

You never meant a word, I know you lied
Your words were empty lies, and I never believed them for a second.

When there is life there is despair, indulge me now
Life can bring so much despair, so indulge me in this one moment of control.

And stay alive this night
But stay alive for one more night, so I can have satisfaction in ending your life tomorrow.

I promise you the end before the first light arrives
I swear to you that I will end your life before the first light of dawn.

Cannot keep your part of the deal
You have failed to honor your end of our deal.

So don't say a word, don't say a word
Don't even bother trying to talk, because it's too late now.

Mother always said: "My son, do the noble thing"
My mother has always taught me to act with honor and nobility.

You have to finish what you started
You must see things through to the end, no matter how difficult it may be.

No matter what, now, sit watch and learn
No matter what happens, you will witness and learn from the consequences of your actions.

"It's not how long you live but what your morals say"
What is more important than how long you live is the legacy you leave behind, and the moral character you exhibit.

Cannot keep your part of the deal
You failed to honor the agreement we made.

So don't say a word, don't say a word
You have nothing to say that can fix the situation, so remain silent.
