BLOOD - Sonata Arctica

G Bm D
At first you kindle life, you place it in a man
A
This man, he has a heart ...that's filled with fire
G Bm D
The man will have a wife, the wife creates the home
A G
They multiply and so, their hearts are filled with fear
Bm D
The man creates a wall, he arms, defends them all
A
This fear becomes his fall
(Bm)
"Blood is a bodily fluid in animals that
(D)
Delivers necessary substances such as
(Bm)
Nutrients and oxygen to the cells and
(D)
Transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells."
A G
The color of life an arrow of fear made flow
Em G A F#m G Bm
Auburn rivers in the snow dance the death of fading peace of mind
(Bm) D
Kept awake by the night of the twilight's cold, sad weeps
Bm D
What the child of Orion has sown his cubs will reap
A G
The fire is out, and there's an ominous silence
Em G A F#m G
But he can see them in the dark, under the moon, the shadows find them

Blink first and die

There's a cave on the hills in the woods not so far away

He knows the fur, he used to love her...

It stares in your eyes, blink first and die

What do you believe?
