Flag In The Ground - Sonata Arctica

Leaving my life behind

My young love and the unborn

Only have a lock of her hair

And burning love inside

After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights

The sails are lit by the lights of Boston

And here we go… off the ship!

Towards the adventure

The one to define our lives

Daily grind and a tiny room

«I got here safe, Love

I have an address, until spring

Then I shall race for the land

Hope to hear from you soon…»

(Her letter reads…)

«Please let me know everything’s all right

Thinking about you, though you’re out of sight

Every night, when I’m turning in, my tears find me

Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me…»

«Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream

The best horse I’ve ever seen, a carriage and everything I need

I will make my way to the great unknown

Every moment, I wish you were here with me now…»

No, I’m not a stranger among the people in here

Yet I have never felt so alone

At high noon, sound will boom

And I will start racing for the land we can call home

«I stuck my flag in the ground, screaming and shouting

I’ve never felt so proud, Love

We are free from eternal serfdom

I’m gonna bring you home, my light!»

Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days… SOLO!

Five, four, three, two, together forever!

SOLO!

I made my way into the great unknown

Land by the river and a new-built home

I am the land and the land is me

Freedom is everything and we are free

I made my way into the great unknown

Land by the river and a new-built home

Every night, when I’m looking at the full moon rising

I hold you and know that we are free!
