My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show
Yay weekend. Hung out with Cristina today. It was fun. We'd made a long list of things that we needed to do thing summer. We're gonna get started next time we hang out. It includes things like flying kites and paper mache and italian sodas.
I keep looking forward to Ozzfest more and more lately. SoaD, Disturbed and Lacuna Coil!! Bought the new Lacuna Coil yesterday and there is love. Also listened to some Dragonforce cuz they were added. They remind me faintly of Blind Guardian for some reason. <3 I need to snag that, Atreyu and other stuffs from Jacob next weekend to make a massive Ozzfest playlist of DOOM!!!!!
But for now I'm super obssessed with these two Sonata Arctica songs. So now I give you lyrics. The first is kinda creepy and the second is just depressing. (I've also decided that My Selene is happy-making as well)
6. The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Real Puppet
[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]
So many years ago, many more than I'd
Even care to bear in my mind
From the darkest of all places I found you
All the limbs in their right places
And a heart made of real gold
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind
Every night I returned to watch them
The master and the puppet in the show
He said: "Oh, no, I cannot sell him...
Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine"
Please, sell me your puppet, sir
Name your price, oh please,
Whatever you may ask,
Tenfold the price I pay
"Did I not make it clear?
This debate is over
I will never part from this puppet, my son..."
With hungry eyes I followed them all night
The blind master and the puppet he had made
"No, sir, to sell is not my will!"
The doll is mine, even if I have to kill...
So it shall be... if this is what it takes
"Greed is truly blinder than me..."
"Heart of gold is what you wish for?"
"So, this little boy... wants to be... a puppet, for real..."
So I have the golden heart
Now only needing the voice of the master
Never feel hunger, never grow older
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show
[SOLO]
It's so hard to remember my life
The times before the show
Can I ever cut off the strings?
"Take a bow, now dance and sing..." (Sing!)
Would you turn me to a child again?
"No, never, I am your Guide"
You can see a small grin on the face
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place
Be careful what you wish for
Wishes might come alive
The twines are pulling me every day and night...
The show, the glitter and all the fame
I'd give away for a life
Some things can end with a word, they say
This only ends with a sharp knife (Knife!)

[Music and lyrics by Tony Kakko]
In good old times, remember my friend
Moon was so bright and so close to us, sometimes
We were still blind and deaf, what a bliss?
Painting the world of our own, for our own eyes, now?
"Can we ever have what we had then?
Friendship unbreakable
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me"
One cloudy day we both lost the game?
We drifted so far and away
Nothing is quite as cruel as a child
Sometimes we break the unbreakable, sometimes?
"And we'll never have what we had then
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
If I had you beside me now"
I was unable to cope with what you said
Sometimes we need to be cruel to be kind
Child that I was, could not see the reason
Feelings I had were but sham and a lie?
I have never forgotten your smile
Your eyes, oh, Shamandalie
Time went by, many memories died
I'm writing this down to ease my pain
You saw us always clearer than me
How we were never meant to be
Love denied meant the friendship would die
Now I have seen the light
These memories make me cry
"Can I ever have what I had then?
Friendship unbroken
Love means nothing to me
Without blinking an eye
I'd fade, if so needed,
All those moments with you
And see the world with my wide open eyes
Friendship got broken
There's no other for me
Like the one of my childhood days
Can you forgive me?
The love got the better of me,
On that day back in old times"
