Sonata Arctica
The Cage
[Verse 1]
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door
Suddenly I realised what locks are for
No trusting them anymore, Lights - are - out
Empty the stare, innocent and unaware
Dragged out from my home, my lair
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me

[Pre-Chorus]
The walls around me
Eyes surround me
Feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die
Before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me
You've gotta set me free

[Chorus]
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see another side of the tree
Freedom has a meaning for me
Howl with me

[Verse 2]
Fear in the dark, I advice you
Can't see the eyes, the glow behind you
It's my song they now sing to you
You stand no chance
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free
It's my minions vs. thee
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls around me
Eyes surround me
Feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die
Before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me
You've gotta set me free

[Chorus]
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free
Howl and dream
The dream is alive
With the moon on the hills every night
Run around and see another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me
You can't tame me…

[Bridge]
You will remember the day you crossed my path
Leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath
What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel
I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you
You, back to you…
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls around me
Eyes surround me
Feed my fear again
I must be freed or I will die
Before the harvest moon, my friend
I do not have another year in me
You've gotta set me free

[Chorus]
The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free
Howl and dream
The dream is alive
With the moon on the hills every night
Run around and see another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me
You can't tame me…

The dream is alive
I can run up the hills every night
Go around and see another side of the tree
All I want is to be untamed and free
Howl and dream
The dream is alive
With the moon on the hills every night
Run around and see another side of the dream
Freedom has a meaning for me
