Sonata Arctica
A Monster Only You Can’t See
[Intro]
Far in the skies where the stars attach to the strings
You have seen angels fall when a monster clips their wings
"Darkness tonight", someone whispers in the void
The loveliest things in your ear, you've been warned, you must avoid

[Bridge]
When you hear the bells, heed the call
Tread without a fear, my friend
On your shoulder we behold a monster only you can't see
Anymore

[Verse 1]
Can we keep the rain at bay
Once you were sliding away all the way down without a rail
You tried a new way, driving everyone away
Your eyes cannot lie, like your face
There is no glory in disgrace

[Pre-Chorus]
Friends are near, we are here
We still carry all those things you believed in
Asshole

[Chorus]
We have bent the rules, we have lied
Loved and known you'll rise again
Friends will do all this for you
[Verse 2]
Child is aborn, oh so feeble in this place
You are the guide they adore
Hopelessly lost within a maze

[Pre-Chorus]
But friends are near, we are here
We still carry all those things you believed in
Asshole

[Chorus]
We have bent the rules, we have lied
Loved and known you'll rise again
Friends will do all this for you
We will bend the rules, we will fight
Help you, we will win tonight
Spread your wings and you will rise

[Bridge]
Sure, your mind weighs like a boulder
There's a monster on your shoulder
Words and phrases, meanings, faces, virtues, vices
Your luck's based on balanced dices

[Interlude]
We are you, you are us
Always, you're one of us
Respect, asshole
You don't know just how much
We sometimes have sacrificed to be there for you
[Verse 3]
Your keys and the keyholes
Once will be found
Dreams and reality aligned
You've grown and found things
You thought were left behind
Smile and you will see this world
Smile back at you

[Guitar Solos]

[Chorus]
We've bent rules for you, we have lied
Loved and known you'll rise again
Friends will do it all for you
We will bend the rules, we will fight
Help you, we will win tonight
Spread your wings and you will rise
We will bend the rules, we will fight
Love and know, you'll rise again
Friends will do all this for you

[Outro]
We will bend the rules, we will fight
Help you, we will win tonight
Spread your wings and you will rise
We will bend the rules, we will fight
Help you, we will win tonight
Spread your wings and you will rise
