Until Silence
Tarja/Tarja Turunen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When just a light remains
Daring dark returns like echo waves
I hope I'm not too late
For this final twist of fate
Goodbye, I know my love will go on
I'll wait until the tears are gone
Goodbye, I know this love will go on
Until the silence says goodbye
I see the waves of sand
Big free, another land
Dreams within dreams, you are alive
They gave me their wings, I spread them wide
I'll move on to another place
From my memories unmade
I'll hold on and my heart will find you there
Love will shine free forever
Zarpa el barco al llamado del mar
Su alma navega más sin encontrar
A la mar espera la tormenta
Olas fantasmas y coral
Zarpa el barco al llamado del mar
Su alma navega mas sin encontrar
Al amar espera la tormenta
Olas fantasmas y coral
Va la niña, al llamado del mar
Cabellos de agua y piernas de sal
Mejor deja el puerto, no volver
Que anclarse a morir
Lightning hits the house of wax
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future

Hidden in the yard
Hidden in the yard
Buried deep below a thousand layers lay the answer to it all
Put all your angels on the edge
Keep all the roses I'm not dead
I left a thorn under your bed
I'm never gone

Go tell the world I'm still around
I didn't fly I'm coming down
You are the wind the only sound
A whisper in my heart
When hope is torn apart
And no one can save you

I walk alone
Every step I take, I walk alone
My Winter storm
Holding me awake it's never gone
When I walk alone
Go back to sleep forever more
Far from your fools and lock the door
They're all around and they'll make sure
You don't have to see, what I turned out to be
No one can help you

I walk alone
Every step I take, I walk alone
My Winter storm
Holding me awake it's never gone
When I walk alone

Waiting up in heaven I was never far from you
Seeing down I felt your ever move

I walk alone

I walk alone, every step I take
I walk alone
My Winter storm holding me awake




It's never gone
When I walk alone
