Dont Say A Word
Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko
I am your poison candygram,
the love thats meant to fade away
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, Im choking on this life
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as youre afraid
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day…
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Once again my shadow will enter your life
Time to walk with me the last mile…
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
I truly see a madman in the mirror when Im weak
I spent a year in love before I realized its me
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know youre lying
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why…
Could I let you wait out the night?
Mother always said my son, do the noble thing…
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn…
Its not how long you live, but what your morals say
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So dont say a word… dont say a word
It wont be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
I place a black candle on your chest,
The path of night is manifest
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
It wasnt me who ran away, you made me stray…
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why…
Settling the score, we pass the twilight…
Mother always said my son, do the noble thing…
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn…
Its not how long you live, but what your morals say
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So dont say a word… dont say a word
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold
on my heart is bound to end
I suppose, life sometimes,
it doesnt go the way it was meant
Though you never were a believer,
I assure you I wont die before you
You read the book now,
The part ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Short is the flight of this little starling
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
I will carpe the diem while its still here,
And see how the fear of death becomes her
We had it all so sweet
Made for me, you, indeed…
Big secret, small the lie
Dont cry for me, oh, argentite
No word you say tonight
Can make this be alright
Ill help you follow through
Remember this? Pacta sunt servanda
… The wounds are too deep,
I need to keep the scars
To prove there was a time
When I loved something more than life
Unlike the last time here,
I now have the means and a will sincere
Your knight is nowhere near
Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God…
SOLOS
Closing your eyes, dont ever say you love me, whore
You never meant a word, I know you lied
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
And stay alive this night… I promise you the end before the first light arrives…
Mother always said my son, do the noble thing…
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn…
Its not how long you live, but what your morals say
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So dont say a word… dont say…
Mother always said my son, do the noble thing…
You have to finish what you started, no matter what,
Now, sit, watch and learn…
Its not how long you live, but what your morals say
Cannot keep your part of the deal
So dont say a word… Dont Say A Word!
