'''White Pearl, Black Oceans''' is a symphonic metal song by the Finnish band [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonata_Arctica Sonata Arctica].<br />
<br />
== Lyrics ==<br />
<pre><br />
I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud<br />
Learned to stay away from the crowd<br />
In my home, my lighthouse<br />
One hundred one steps round and down<br />
New Year's Eve, one night on the town<br />
Can change one night into eternity<br />
<br />
All I could see—her eyes<br />
We got caught in the moment, all of the night<br />
Taken beyond all lines<br />
In silence, leaving them all behind<br />
<br />
She had found her sails for the following night<br />
The town for her was getting way too small<br />
She promised to be mine<br />
Forever, for that one night<br />
<br />
Moments, passion, small defeats<br />
Concealed emotions found in me<br />
You gave life to a brand-new me<br />
<br />
Crossing the wintery fields, the first hour of morning light<br />
Warmed by the flame inside<br />
The lasting memory of the ending night<br />
<br />
I never had the chance to stop what hit me<br />
What broke my bones and mauled me<br />
After hours of deep, unwilling sleep in a cold shelter<br />
I fell back in the dark and the hours of the day passed<br />
<br />
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light<br />
There's no guide—blind shipes in the night!<br />
Oh, blood-red moon, eat away the night!<br />
<br />
Darkness covers my lonely soul<br />
No-one to feed the dying light<br />
<br />
Good morn, oh dreadful day<br />
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me for the sails at night<br />
"Please tell me everything is alright..."<br />
<br />
My voice in the room broke the silence—<br />
Everybody killed me with their eyes<br />
What I was to hear made the people cry<br />
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside<br />
<br />
"All on board the White Pearl have died<br />
Coastal reef has tolled their lives<br />
And you are the light of the night!"<br />
<br />
One thing I remember, before I fell on the ground<br />
Although I never saw the face, a name was inked in his arm<br />
<br />
Love can be like poetry of demons<br />
Or maybe God loves complex irony<br />
The family name stated, I had seen before<br />
Written on her front door<br />
<br />
"Silence in the courthouse!"<br />
A presence in the room we both could feel<br />
The father of her unborn child and me<br />
<br />
All on board the White Pearl have died,<br />
Coastal reef has tolled their lives while I was the guide light<br />
Back to my tower, run, run, run<br />
Light is out...<br />
I hope to see black oceans beneath rise and swallow me<br />
<br />
<interlude><br />
<br />
One step will take me back inside, another sees my end<br />
No-one can love the man who guarded the light one faithful night<br />
Flaming eyes I must confront, before I am stated free<br />
<br />
Defining innocence is hell, after all that has passed<br />
Building new walls inside my eternal night<br />
Although they took my heart and dried me up, sometimes I still bleed<br />
<br />
Show me the way (show me the way)<br />
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs<br />
Too many dead ends I see<br />
No soul can save me, the respect I lost, the measure of a man<br />
<br />
<interlude><br />
<br />
Ten thousand steps down<br />
Round and round<br />
One night on the town, and I'm hellbound<br />
(Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me)<br />
<br />
All on board the White Pearl have died<br />
Coastal reef, come claim my life<br />
(Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me)<br />
<br />
My little tower<br />
Seal my fate<br />
Help me pay back—end their hate<br />
(Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me)<br />
<br />
One direction—down, down, down<br />
Pitch black night for my old town<br />
(Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me)<br />
<br />
<interlude><br />
<br />
I hereby commit the body to the deep<br />
To be turned into corruption<br />
Looking for the resurrection of the body<br />
When the Sea shall give up her dead<br />
In the life of the world to come<br />
Through our Lord, Amen<br />
<br />
