Biography

Finnish power metal band from Kemi, Finland, active since 1999. Initially founded in 1996 as a hard rock band Tricky Beans (later Tricky Means), the group settled on the name Sonata Arctica in 1999 as their musical style had changed into [a324356]-inspired power metal and they needed a more "heavy metal" name for the band. Current line-up: Tony Kakko – vocals (1996–), keyboards (1996–2000) Tommy Portimo – drums (1996–) Henrik Klingenberg – keyboards (2002–) Elias Viljanen – guitar (2007–) Pasi Kauppinen – bass (2013–) Former members: Marko Paasikoski – bass (2000–2013), guitar (1996–1999) Jani Liimatainen – guitar (1996–2007) Mikko Härkin – keyboards (2000–2002) Janne Kivilahti – bass (1998–2000) Pentti Peura – bass (1996–1998)

LYRICS

Once again we behold the future behind the cloud
It scares you
Grown as a beauty, stained with tainted paint
Once born is the last of us and the skies are fallen
Lead me
Into the brightest light, never-ending dawn
We'll build us a wonder, gone through the maze in days
In hindsight
Cloudy ahead, the skies always clear behind

We shall not scare the children
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life

Every generation's every book
Every page is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world will burn

All the future is built on maybe, albeit the whitest of lies
White lies
They have the value, serving the purpose
When we guide our children, the future's blinding light
You can't leave, no
They hope one day you'll live in a lighthouse

We shall not scare the children
Cast our hope, beat us atop their joy of life

Every generation's every book
Every page is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are giving to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world will burn

We bring rocks into the dark
In hopes they hit a mark
One day you'll know this blindness
The views and fears of the unknown
We hide what we don't know
But we should not tell you, there's a party in the black hole

Yet we don't know

Every generation's every book
Every page is getting drawn on, hurt
But we can save this world if we move time slower
Every open window, we are handing to a child
That's how we buy ourselves out of time
We'll learn, all the world is burning

Every generation has a purpose
In the circle getting drawn on, hurt
Yet we can save this world if we move on slower
In lack of a silver spoon, maybe we should solve the problems
Now we're the first in line
This world like a plot, we'll let unwind
