Sonata Arctica
Dark Empath
[Intro]
Dark
Empath
Tell me you're only a token
Tell me you're forever broken
Feed me love
Feed me pain
Once upon a time the darkness of the night found you
Now you belong to me

[Verse 1]
So you told everyone you're falling in love
With this wonderful guy, the kind you all have to see
Touching your soul, reaching your heart
Knowing your needs, making you beautiful
Walks on the beach, calling you ma chérie
Dancing tonight, holding you close
Scanning your pains, naming them, learning them
Feeding the love sent from above
You think whеn I claim, you are my everything
Littlе too much, little too soon, you think

[Pre-Chorus]
Some time soon you will learn that my love is

[Chorus]
The riddle of a mourning dove
Turning real, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated plea
Love me, feed me pain so deep
While I still need to hear you call me your love
[Post-Chorus]
Feed me, need me
Blame me, bleed me
Love me, hate me
One day you will

[Verse 2]
Stand in the rain, alone in the dark
Wait for a train you know will never come
If you pray, wish me away
Now that I have the key and knowing you're home alone

[Pre-Chorus]
I have never let you know me, my love
Changing the locks, changing your name

[Chorus]
I'm the riddle of a mourning dove
Turning real, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated plea
Love me, feed me pain so deep
While I still need to hear you call me your love

[Interlude]
Your love, always lonely
Feed me love, feed me pain
Weakness, you have shown me
Heals my dark, loose black heart
Always only mine you are
Perfect life, perfect eye
Perfect I
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You will learn how deep a bruise can be
You'll learn my name, unriddle me
Once upon years I was made this way
This beauty bruised in love, my fuel, my prey

[Bridge]
Tell me you're merely a token
My love, tell me you're forever broken

[Chorus]
Riddle of a mourning dove
Turning real, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated plea
Love me, feed me pain so deep
'Cause I still need your pain

[Outro]
Riddle of a mourning dove
Turning real, you shall become
What I need you to feed me, love
Intimidated plea
Love me, feed me pain so deep
'Cause I still need to hear
Still need your pain, keep feeding me love
