In The Dark
Sonata Arctica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm from where the magic is...
I'll give you what I cannot take away with me...
Have my sunlit day and moon...

I wanna have a silent kiss
I wanna make you mine, I'm thinking, how...
Can't leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...

You come from where the fire is...
You give me what you couldn't burn the last time...
One sunless day and moon...

I wanna be so close to you
To see whatever scars you carry
Within your broken heart,
Mine's your missing part...

Come with me where the magic is...
There's more than life we could share
We could join the sun and moon
If you want to...

Be my lifeline for this lifetime
Suffer in pleasure forever and ever
I'd like to see how
The walls around your heart will fall apart
Stop resisting, let the light in
Suffer in pleasure, forever and ever,
This one lifetime

Let me take you where the magic is...
Back in time, remember the light
Of the cold December moon...

I wanna have a silent kiss
I wanna make you mine, I'm thinking,
You can't leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...
Stay with me somehow...

Come with me where the magic is...
there is more than life that we can share
We could own the sun and moon

Be my lifeline for this lifetime...
Suffer in pleasure, forever and ever I'd like to see how
The walls around your heart will fall apart
Stop resisting, let the light in
Suffer in pleasure, forever and ever
This one lifetime

Be my lifeline for this lifetime
suffer in pleasure forever and ever
stop resisting, let the light in
suffer in pleasure, forever and ever
this one lifetime.

I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark
I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark

I'll take you where the magic is
I'll give you everything I only can offer
You can have my broken midnight moon

If you give me your broken heart
And I will give you something real and golden
We can make this life the finest art...

I come from where the magic is...
I'd give you what I could take away with me...
Have a sunlit day and moon...

I wanna have a silent kiss
I wanna make you mine, I'm thinking, how...
Can't leave me now...
Stay with me somehow...

I am feeling your face in the dark
I'm hearing you breathe in the dark




I am tasting your lips in the dark
I'm holding you close in the dark
