Sonata Arctica
Life
[Verse 1]
Life is an illusion
Time a mere delusion
The cage is a creation
Of someone‘s imagination
If life makes you glow, then glow like a star
You’re the night, you’re the day
Own the sky, live in the clouds, defy gravity

A sign, an aberration, your road down to damnation
When a restroom illustration predicts the tribulation
Let the dreams give you hope, live in a dream
Let the music flow
With your eyes closed from the vast garden of stars

[Pre-Chorus]
Sing one rhyme
Wait for the punch line
The notes are blind
But they know when you sing and

[Chorus]
Smile
Life is better alive
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won’t wane away
Sing with someone today
When your team makes a game winning goal
Get ready to sing
Lalalalaa…
With a friend who’s right beside you
Lalalalaa…
With the friends beside you…

[Bridge]
Time - every light on the blue sky night will beautify
Time - cast coins in the waterfall
Two coins, one for each eye

Time - the icy tingle of empty vapour on your hand
Time - a tiny crack’s a grand canyon in its command

[Pre-Chorus]
Just one line
Sing with a feeling
Turn back time
Make all your stars align

The only thing you need, the vanity of happiness
When friends align
They sing in the key of…

[Chorus]
Life
Life is better alive
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won’t wane away
Smile at someone today
If the wall smiles back you’re alive, and ready to
Sing
Life is better alive
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won’t wane away
Sing with someone today
When your team makes a game winning goal
Get ready to sing
Lalalalalalaaa…
With a friend who’s right beside you
Lalalalalalaaa…
With the friend beside you

[Outro]
Lalalalalalaaa…
It is a dumb thing to say
But the fact won’t wane away
Lalalalalalaaa…
Life is better alive
When your team makes a game winning goal
Get ready to sing
It is a dumb thing to say
But your life is better alive
Life is better alive…
